TTTE MORXTXG OREGOXTAN, SATURDAY, tttt.Y 11, GERMAN TELLS HOW LIVING COST SOARS Workmen Strike, Win, Then Prices Go Up and They Pay More, Says Tourist. TAXES HIGH THERE, TOO Otto Krahl, of Dresden, Studying Conditions In United States and Elsewhere and Slay Make Seml-Official Report. The United States "has nothing: on Germany In the matter of possessing a high-cost-or-llvins problem, according to Otto Krahl, of Dresden, who ie at the Imperial. It is this way, and perhaps it is the ame in your country." said Mr. Krahl last night. "The workmen strike for higher wages or shorter hours, or both, and if they win the manufacturer adds the Increased cost of production to the price of his goods, and the cost of liv ing goes up. Then the workmen, who are the consumers, have to pay more for what they eat and wear, and soon they find themselves in relatively the same position as they were before. "There is nothing to do then but to strike again, and they strike, and per haps they win, and the cost of living goes up again, and thus it continues in almost a perfect circle, like a dachs hund chasing his tail." Mr. Krahl on Tour of World. Mr. Krahl is making a tour around the world for pleasure and study. He is what is termed a corporation lawyer in this country, some of the manufac turing firms in and near Dresden being his clients, and he is studying indus trial methods and conditions as he He bears letters of introduction from the German Foreign Office, and may , - InfflAlQl rannrt of his OD- maKe a &cun-wi"v.. - - - servations to the government when he returns. . I will not write a book, he said, gravely "but I am making some notes that may be made the basis of a news paper article when I get home." Germany has a minimum wage law for women and children and has had it for years, similar to the one in force in Oregon, except that It is more inclu sive, regulating the wages even of the pieceworkers who make toys and other articles in their homes. Taxes Hlgra In Germiy. Taxes are high in Germany, too. "We have an enemy on either side,' he said, "and there is nothing for us to do but have a strong army. We have commercial Interests abroad that must be protected. Hence a strong navy is necessary. And these things, as all the world knows, oost money." Starting from Genoa last September, Mr. Krahl traveled eastward through the Orient, "doing" India. Ceylon. Java, New Guinea, Manila, China and Japan. In North China he Haw symptoms of the magnitude of the rebellion that is in progress, under the leadership of "the White Wolf," against the Yuan Shi Kai government. He saw heavy troop-trains moving against the rebels. Northwest la Seen. From Japan he came to San Fran Cisco, arriving' June 16. Since then he has seen the Tosemite, the big trees and other sightB of California and has covered the Pacific Northwest in a big loop out f.-om Portland, taking in Se attle and British Columbia points as far east as Banff. He returned to Port land by way of Spokane and saw the scenery of the Columbia River. He will leave this evening for Yellowstone Park. He will take plenty of time in the East, visiting the big Industrial centers. "In the West I have enjoyed the magnificent scenery," he said, '"but In the East I will study the American at work."

Wonderful progress is being made at Multnomah Farm since the appointment of John Dennison as foreman, January 1, 1914, according to the semi-annual report of Mr. Dennison to the county Commissioners yesterday. The report shows that from January 1 to July 1 62.050 pounds of milk was procured from 17 cows at the farm, an average per cow of 3650 pounds. The best cow produced 6343 pounds ana tne poorest 2451 pounds of milk during the six months. The nest proauction tor one cow In 30 days was 1490 pounds, an exceptionally large amount. Five hundred and seven pounds of veal, enough to supply the meat re quirements at the farm, was procured from seven calves, the slaughtering and dressing being done by employes without additional expense to the county. The sale of the hid-5s from these calves netted the farm fund $4.91. Pork production amounted to 197G pounds during the six months. There are now 25 large hogs and 95 young pigs at the institution. The egg supply reached a total of 1884 dozen from 330 hens and 400 Barred Rock pullets. Two thousand one hundred and sixty pounds of butter was made on the farm by employes from milk produced on the grounds, a saving of $400 to the county in this commodity alone. During May and June 5200 pounds of cabbage was produced, and much of this was shipped to the Columbia River Highway camps, where it assisted in cutting down ex penses for food supply to county road workers. The onion crop also was good this year, 3380 bundles having been raised. There were 950 pounds of strawberries picked this Spring, an unusually good crop. One hundred pounds of rhubarb and 35 pounds of gooseberries were grown on the farm In the six months. TANNENSEE GRILL SHUT COUNCIL PASSES ORDINANCE RE VOKING LIQUOR LICENSE.
