The middle ground, so to speak, is taken by Dr. Schmidt, economics expert of the Victoria Insurance com- pany, one of the largest concerns of its kind in Germany, Dr. Schmidt not only has to deal intimately with the company’s thousands of employes but with its scores of thousands of policy holders, and is in a position to know the probable effect of taxation on the mas: He declares that it probably has passed through the minds of countless if not all employers that increases may be necessary, but feels that the average employer is not us- ually altruistic and . that therefore raises must be forced by those who need them. This in spite of the fact that the German employer and man of means in general has shown him- self throughout the war to be self- sacrificing and thoughtful of those dependent on him.

He be- lieves existing wages are high enough to Mover whatever taxation may come —unless the countries now at war with Germany consistently and for a ong period of time refuse to renew ommercial relations with her. “For approximately @ year and a f after the war,” he says, “I ex- pect to see a tremendous boom in electrical and mechanical industries In general. We shall need that much time merely to re-supply our own countries with the things that have | been used up during the war. We shall not need an order from outside to keep everything going full blast. Depends on Forcign Countries. “The continued well-being of the Jerman workman after that depends, in my opinion, entirely upon the forgign countries. If England, France, Italy and Russia continue to hate us, If they are willing to try to injure us by not buying our goods and by ing others no matter how expensive, then there is no question but that wagés will go down. “Such a course is in the nature of railroads alone today are worth more than the combined debts df all the German states. Contrast With England. “Contrast us with England, its huge state debt and immense war indebtedness, and with only its Suez canal interstate as a credit. Compare us with TItaly, the most over-taxed | nation in the world. In contemplat- ing what our taxes will be, remember that England’s taxes today may be called ‘sky scraper taxes' in compar- ison with which ours are like the proverbial white raven. “Our taxes after the war, whiie higher than now, will not be higher than Italy’s were before. Taxes are not happy things-and no one likes to pay them, but they are not going to be so high that we will have to raise wages and salaries. We shall prob- ably introduce a few monopolies and other indirect taxes, and we are going to have a commercial field such as we never have had before. “In place of higher wages, we shall practice to a greater extent than ev the saving for which Germans are noted.

He anticipates hoti new im- perial taxes and indirect a The former he prefers bechuse they gost less to collect, but he belleves Poth will be necessary, and hcnes on the whole for an increase in pay to meet them, Rise in Salaries. The best representative of the out and out believers that Germany is to see a general and all around rise in salaries is the director of one of Ger- many’s largest banks, who looks at the matter from the standpoint of the salaried employe rather than that of the wage-earning workingman. He is confident that the heavy taxa- tion following the war will necessitate a general advance in both salaries and wages, and that this in turn will caus a slowing-up in the creation of new capital for investment. The war, how- ever, he says, has revealed Germany’ economic strength in a new light which makes a new scale of measure- ments necessary, and that that which earlier seemed an impossible task now seems much easier. The burden of the new taxation, he declares, will not be as great as su- perficially appears, for theve is like- ndemnity coming to Germany. The empire’s war outlay, he estimates, at a probable fifty bil- Jion marks (twelve and a half millions f dollars). Variety of Forms. The new measure for raising and repaying this sum with its " interest charges he believes will take a of forms, such as monopolies on articles like tobacco and cigarettes. Many of the economic measures i adopted during the war, such as the he predicts will be re- necessary bread cards, tained in the economy. The ecxisting restriction upon the empire’s t eserving in- come and general proper interest of | the states—he thinks will be swept | away and replaced by imperial taxes of this sort. He estimates that it will {ake Ger- many some six or seven y=ars to re- cuperate from the war. The recupera- tion, however, will be much more rapid even than was the startling rapid recuperation of France after the war of 1870-71. Retrenchment Watch-Word. Retrenchment is the watch-word of the great majority of laymen of those who are puzzling in advance over the after-the-war taxation prob- len They hope for booming busi- ness conditions, possible indemnities and other favorable turns, but they believe that in economy rather than , by increases of wages that hit em- | ployer even while they help employes is Germany going to be enabled speed- ily to pay its debts. The general lay view is voiced by Upstairs Showrooms Count Kospoth, a members of the house of lords of the Prussian diet, Ly | that monopolies in all probaility will expr es absolute | confidence in the ability of Dr. Helf- | ferich, secretary of state for the | treasury, to determine wisely what the | best method of taxation shall be and how much will be necessary, without impairing the economic life of the people. Starvation Not Necessary. “If passable roads are chosen.” the Tageblatt concludes, “the German em- pire will be abie to raise the necessary | taxes without, to use the now popu- lar expression, having to starve itself in the effort. Our people will not be | | | | be necessary It lacking in the needed spirit of self- sacrifice and willingness to 3o with- out things. The duty of the press is | to awaken this spirit and keep it awake.” In varying ways, members of the Reichstag, regardless of party af- filiations, indicate expectation that the tax problem, and therefore the wage | problem is going to depend on the | size of the indemnity which Germany may receive. Kach man interviewed | gave expression to the confident belief | that the empire will receive some- ' thing from its present opponents when | the final accounts are cast up. Six Billion of Dollars. One representative of the center | party, not personally | accounted rad- | ical, placed his estimate of the prob- | able indemnity on an even basis with | the indebtedness incurred by Germany during the —over six billions of dollars to date—and would not grant that a state of affairs could arrive which would so impoverish every na- | tion involved that no one could pay such a staggering sum. “It is foolish to try to delude our- | selves into thinking,” he said, “that our opponents are anywhere near financial exhaustion any more than we are near it ourselves. At least two of them are potentially rich, and can and will pay our demands when the end comes. Until we can tell just how favorable our position at the end is going to be it is idle to specu- late about what our own economic situation after the war will be.” NEW TREATMENT FOR SWOLLEN VEINS Swollen veins are dangerous and often burst.
