 The Kaiser scorns the idea of being economical with himself and family at home, and since his accession to the throne nine years ago, he has continually applied to the Reichstag for an increase in salary He says that he can not live as becomes an emperor of these times, the amount that annually comes to him; and he has shown them that an emperor with three or four children required only half the money of one at the present day with six little princes and one princess. So strong were his words and so convincing were his arguments that he secured large increase to his annual salary. To this was added a large amount called the "dona- tion fund" The donation fund.- is for the yearly distribution of the Kaiser We now have the total of Kaiser Will helms official income
