Yet in j Neuhaus-Schiernitz, Thuringia, an I infuriated citizen attacked und ut- terly demolished his piano with an I ax. while another inhabitant of the jsame town tore the works out of (his phonograph and converted it j into a bread-box. How could such things happen in fiermany. the country of liach, j H-ilmvt-n and Wagner, where con j certs are more popular than the niovie.s and where even precise scientists like Einstein play the violin? 1 Tho reason . i simple. TbU is "economy year" in tho fatherland, and what the IJruenlng govern ment hasn't done in tho lino, of trimming down public and private finances, the various mate and lo cal community authorities are do. ing. In Neuhaus-Schiernitz the new- , est luxury tax happens to bo a levy of 10 marks $J.4(t) on musical instruments hence the ax and 1 breadbox. j House Cuts Taxed. In other communities in pres sure oil the citizen's patience mav take a slightly lifferent form. Sev eral towns have flapped a special tax on house cats: others, like Ber lin, disdaining to take out their money urge on the household pets or piano, have bluntly laid a head tax on every inhabitant. lierlin also collects a special sur tax, through restaurants and cafes, on every glass of wine or cup of tea or coffee. The surtax figure are neatly ar ranged in a little column opposite the drinks after the waiter has fin ished totaling all the other items on the bill and -has added bis 10, per cent a system of accounting which really adds plcturesqueness to the hill. I No Argument. j Hut it makes the average tier man so angry that many cafe own ers hnve printed on their menus the footnote: "Please don't argue with the waiter about the 10 per cent tax. Tie and We are compelled to col lect It for the city." To give the worried taxpayer an appetite, many menu also are em- belllshed with asterisks and a foot note explaining that every dish so marked has been reduced in price1 since the government isued its warning that "prices must fall hanj in hand with wages." 1 Itut hy far the most obvious of-! fects of the national money need, on an average household, are the widespread wage rut ranging from B per cent upward. Kew pay en-, velopcK remain immune in thV fatherland, and the civil service i salaries were among the first to be slashed. Some Price Down. All such pocketbook irritations. however. :ire supposed to be eoun- terbalaneed by a gnrai wave of retail price-rduotiorw. 0Knowinj this, the German family man ofton .sharpen his pencil and tries to figure out the economy year bat ling average.
