By Wireless to The Star and Chicago Dally ‘News. Copyright, 192Z. BERLIN, January 17.—From the day of his birth until the day he is buried and even after he is buried, the aver- age German of today is pursued by the ogre of taxation unleashed by the great war. That which is craved by normal human beings the world over —domestic happiness—is gradually disappearing out of the life of the German. The tax collector is ubiqui- tous. Every bit of bread a German eats and every step he takes is taxed. The only thing that has not been taxed is fresh air. L Now another heavy weight has been added to the burden the average Citi- | zen has to carry. It fs announced that i beginning February 15, & loaf of bread will cost 14 marks. The loaf which now costs 8 marks before the | war was 28 pfennigs; in other words, { the daily bread of the Germans will cost seventy times as much as before the war. The government, in justi- fying the new price, blames the allies for the increase because “they in- i sist that the German government cut down the public relief funds.” It also points to the depreciation of German Vill Tell on Labor. per —eent increase in the price o ad, will, according to the socialist newspapers, soon have a tell- ing effect on the labor situation. The cocial democratic Vorwaerts Qeclares gm: “this lnerea!iln the cost of.liv- g will result in & movement by the workingmen ih all industries for a proportionate raise in wages® But that is_undoubtedly what the allies intended when they forced this move. Higher wages will increase the cost of production in Germany and there- by decrease the difference between the cost of production in Germany and the cost in the allied countries. Ulti- mately it will result in cutting down Germany’s exports, which have been abpormally heavy because of the small value of German money. Novelist’'s Views, Tt is agreed by all newspapers that food prices will go up all around next month. Just what effect all this i having on family life in Germany is told by Heinz Tovote, a popular nov- elest, who writes: “Before the war my people visited me every Sunday We would have roast goose or chicken, £ bottle or two of wine, or go picnicking. Now and then we made trips to Munich or Hamburg to see Ungle Hans or Aunt Grete. Everybody had -a telephone and we used to go to the cafe vereins quite regularly. “But now! Everything is taxed so heavily that one might as well live on an island in the south seas so far as family ties are concerned. We have not seen a soul for months. We received two postcards at New Year and since that time the letter car- rier has not been around. My chil- dren have given up the telephone and so have I. I have not been to a theater, concert or cafe verein and have not been out of town since heaven knows when. Comparison of Expenses. “But I do not pay as much as the young folks do. How can you do your work at a long distance when every letter costs two marks? And if your sweetheart lives in your home town—say Hamburg—it is next to impossible to see her more than once a year, the train fares are so high. Or, if she lives here, you can- “Pledged to Quality” Fourteenth St. at New York Ave. Borsalino Hats Correct Evening Apparel Mr. Goldheim Talks: —NOW is John B.
