520 _a"Palkankoroitus : 1-näytöksinen pila by Jalmari Finne" is a one-act comedic play (a farce) from the early 20th century. It satirizes the economics of matrimony in a small-town school setting, where a pay bonus for married teachers tempts a cautious bachelor to consider wedlock for financial gain. Antti, a middle-aged schoolteacher, decides to propose to his long-time servant Juhanna after learning that married teachers earn more, and he asks his eloquent friend Jaakko the cantor to deliver the proposal. Jaakko’s florid speech moves Juhanna, who accepts, and the new couple immediately tally household plans. But when Juhanna outlines hiring a maid and budgeting for clothes, travel, and “extras,” Antti calculates the added costs exceed the bonus. He recoils, tries to back out, and Juhanna erupts in indignation, denounces him, and storms off. Jaakko returns to find the match in ruins, and Antti concludes—wryly—that the trouble lies less in marriage than in women, ending the farce on a sharp comic note.
