TAX STATISTICS SOUGHT
State Senator Perkins Confers With
City Officials About Changes.
To get information on what is re
quired in the way of changes in the
system of collecting taxes. Dr. T. L.
Perkins, chairman of the Senate com
mittee on taxation, held a conference
yesterday with City Commissioner
Bigelow and others. He returned to
i?alem with information which he will
present to his committee. .
The city authorities are much op
posed to any change which will throw
the date of collection of the second
temi-annual installment later than the
present date. The city's year ends De
cember 1 and the city would not have
sufficient money to carry its affairs
over, if tax revenue datea were pushed
ahead. .

WAR ECHOES GIVEN
Paul Pferdner Gets Letter
From Soldier in Field.
MEN IN CAVES ARE HAPPY
Hatred of England, Spirits of Kais
er's Troops and loyalty of People
Revealed Battle Is Called
Greatest In History.
A letter echoing the din of battle at
the front and the confidence of the Ger
man troops in victory was received
yesterday by Paul Pferdner, of 702
Overton street, from Hans Relche, a
young German student stationed near
Bheims.
In outlining tha conditions and feel
ings of the troops In the field. Mr.
Reiche reveals his hatred for England
and his belief that the war was forced
upon Germany. He speaks of the battle
in which he is engaged as the greatest
of history.
Soldler'a Family Prominent.
Following Is the letter from Mr.
Reiche and an Introductory letter from
Mr. Pferdner:
"To the Editor: I inclose a letter
right from the firing line from an
earth cave near Rheims. It is from a
at thA TTniversitv
JUUllg 111111 Dluutruv - . -
at Munich, one of about SO with whom
I used to fraternize auring my omj
there a year ago. They came from
every part of Germany. This one came
from Dresden and must haVe been one
of the first to volunteer, as he was in
a training camp by August 4. His
father is prominent in Dresden.
"I have translated the letter and if
you think it of interest, use it, but I
request you will return to me the letter
and postal card. The letter discloses
perhaps more than anything else can
the feelings and real condition of those
at the front. This young man, like all
other German students, is highly in
telligent and his letter ls interesting,
as coming from a place of which we
hear of olten. It took 38 days for the
letter to reach here.
Paul. Pferdner.-
"jlv Hole-in-the-Ground near RJieims.
"December 4, 1914.
"Mv Dear Mr. Pferdner: As I am
writing this letter to you today I am
not sure if it will ever get into your
hands. I hope it will, and I should be
glad if you will also write to me. I
would like It best if you would send
this letter to your newspaper, and send
me a couple of copies. It is my,opinion
that you would do the German cause a
good service and will at the same time
interest the readers.
Hnndreds Walt in lane.
'Immediately at the beginning of this
war. which was forced onto our dear
German Fatherland. I applied as a vol
unteer to a field artillery regiment in
Dresden. Notwithstanding the immense
crowd (the young men waited in hun
dreds before tha barracks gates) I was
uniformed after a physical examination
and put into training from August 4
to September 11. I applied and was one
of the first to be sent to the field, this
being the reason for the short training
time. After a long railroad ride and
several days' marches, I have been ly
ing here near Rheims for eight weeks.
"The battle which is now going .on
(and we are directly on the front) is
the greatest in the history of the
world. Continually the cannons are
rod'ring. every hour the rifles are rat
tling. We have made ourselves quite
comfortable here. Like the Troglodytes
we are living in earth caves which are
two meters (78.74 inches) deep. They
are covered with the trunks and earth.
A stove, table and chairs make the
place-cheerfuL A good deal of straw,
and warm, soft blankets make it warm
and -soft for sleeping. We are safe
from bombs and grenades. While we
ere lying still here in the center of
the German battlefront, our troops near
Tpern and Verdun are steadily ad
vancing. , ,
Health of Army Good.
"How long will it take tilf we have
the whole canal coast in our hands,
and get to the skin of the English, who
are the authors of this murderous war?
The state of health in the army is re
markable. The commissary is without
fault, and the little cold we stand well.
We are going to win, my dear Mr.
Pferdner. I know it, I feel it. You are
born a German. You can be proud of
the land of your birth. And though
you used to criticise our German young
manhood, especially the academic, as
having peculiar ideals, L e. beer and
women, I hope you will think differ
ently now. So dear old sir, do write me
once, and then perhaps once again.
Remain well, and don't worry too much
about the Japanese. Tischhaber and
Barthels are also in the field. I do
hope they are still alive. Think well
of your young old friend,
