Shores’ Billiard Hall CURIOUS MANX LAWS. Food and Drink Alona Are Taxed and Debtors Are Imprisoned. In some respects the Isle o! Mini one of the most backward portions of the British empire All the revenue raised by taxes ou food and drink There are no death duties, no proper ty tax. no land tax The working classes are unprotected as well as over taxed. No factory laws exist and no attempt has ever been made to limit the hours of shop assistants, although Manxlnnd Is essentially a nation of shopkeepers. Then, although usury Is forbidden by law, imprisonment for debt is still legal and is commonly re sorted to. Yet Manx laws, although backward In some respects, are In other ways well advanced. Every woman, widow or spinster, in the Isle of Man. be she owner, occupier or lodger, enjoys the parliamentary franchise. Every wld ow enjoys half her husband’s person al estate and has n life interest in his real estate, and she cannot be deprived of this by will. The sale of cigarettes and Intoxl cants to children was forbidden In Man for years before such a prohi bltlon was euforced In England. Eng llshmen have legislated mildly against money lenders. The highest Interest that can be charged in the island is per cent, and that has been the law for over 200 years.—Chicago News.
