The High Cost Of Kings

Kings were expensive ornaments IN the tWen-
tieth century. It cost the taxpayers tidy sun,
annually to maintain the men who ruled their des-
tinies William Hohenzollern in the days of his
reign stood at the head of the payroll. Prussia
paid him $4804, 824 year. or about 100000
monthly-quite stipend for man who ruled
by divine right and wasn't afraid to let the world
know about it either. The Reichstag added
$750,00O annually as pay for being emperor of
Germany, so his income exceeded $5,000,000.
Out of this sum, the Clown Prince received
100000 to prepare himself for the succession
to the crown and his five brothers also drew
enough to maintain their royal dignity. Paren-
theticaly it may be added that neither of the
five sons lost his life in the great war.
Now for little comparison. The president
of the United States and the forty Eight govern
ors draw $780, 900 annually, or only about fifty
per cent more in one year than the ex-kaiser
drew in one month. The population of the
United States in round numbers is 1OO,0OO,OOO
and that of Germany 69,000,O00. Besides pay
ing the former emperor 100000 annually, the
German people in exchange for permitting petty
tyrants to rule them with iron hand paid about
$6,00O,000 more to the bosses of the twenty-six
kingdoms grand duchies, duchess principalities
and free or republican cities, so that the full bill
for the royal sway amounted to more than SILL
100000 annually.
How they put up with the royal steal so long

War Increased Use and
Production of Rice
(Ry Associated Pressl

DALLAS. Texas, Nov. 23.-The war
resulted in increased production and
increased consumption of rice in
Texas during the last year. An ex-
tensive campaign in the south for
greater acreage. and for use of rice
as a substitute for wheat was largely
responsible.
Big producers in Texas, where g.
100000 sacks. of rough rice is grown
annually, believe that the war has
taught housewives the value of rice
as food and that the increase in con-
sumption will continue. 1t is estimat-
ed that thirty-eight per cent. of the
country's annual production OF rice is
grown on the 100000 acres under cul-
tivation in Texas. The product OF the
large rice mills in southern Texas,
where extensive crops have been put
in. is valued at 100000, producers

LONDON, Oct. 9.-Discussing the ultimate peace terms, the London newspapers refer with indignation to the outrages still persisted in by the retreating Germans. and unanimously demand reparation and punishment for these latest crimes, as well as for other outrages committed during the war.

 The Morning Post says: Indemnity for Belgium should be made as heavy as possible, and Germany made to feel the weight of her transgressions by the necessity of paying for them.' The Post also suggests that the war indem- nifty should include the handing over to the allies of the merchant ships which Germany has been building.
 The Daily Mail demands that Ger many should be punished with utmost severity for the wanton destruction of French towns and the other newspa- pers endorse this demand. The Daily Express counsels the stoppage Of raw materials to Germany until all &C., counts have been sattled
