Princess Hermine Spikes Ru-
morS of DiScord in Doom
CastIe-PIanS Visit to Ger
many in Spring
BY FERDINAND JAIN

DOORN, Holland, March 20.-The
family life of the former German
kaiser and his kaiserin at Doom
castle is simple and happy.
The kaiserin, better known as the
Princess Hermine, made that EN-
phatiCally clear in an exclusive in
terview with the United Press.
The interview, which was given in
the quaint miniature castle that is
+ the residence of the court, chamber
lain. is the first the princess has
granted since her wedding.
She denied empahtically all the
chatter that has spread worldwide
to the effect that she is leaving Will
helm or going to Corfu. She made
it plain that the eX-emperor and her
self are pursuing in happiness and
unity the simple life of studious, ac-
tive folks, here in this picturesque,
Out-of-the way corner of the world
The love of the princess for the
former kaiser and the love and re-
spect her children accord their new
father was much in evidence during
my visit.
Plans Visit to Germany
Explaining a forthcoming trip 10
Germany the kaiserin said:
"At the end of this month, am
going on an eight weeks visit to
Silesia. You can believe me it is
hard for me to leave the emperor
alone.
But I am also a mother. And the
interests of my children demand my
presence in Germany twice a year
These times naturally are so chosen
that they coincide, in spring and au-
tumn, with the vacations Of my old
est sons, who are at school in Ger
many. Naturally these journeys are
previously arranged"
The princess received in the court
chamberlain offices, which lie back
from the winding Doom road, in
setting reminiscent of IN old Dutch

PRESIDENT s ACTION
ENDS DEADLOCK IN
TARIFF Commission

WASHINGTON, March 19.--Inter-
vention by President Harding has
ended a deadlock in the tariff COM
mission as to pr cedure under the
flexible rate provision Of the tariff
act. In directing the commission
late yesterday to proceed with an in
vestigation of complaints against
certain prevailing import duties, the
president construed the intent of the
law in accordance with the views of
those members of the commission
who opposed the stand of others in
favor of a general scientific revision
of rates.
The president was asked for in
structions in the matter after it had
become apparent that members were
hopelessly at odds as to whether the
commission should take up at once
applications for rate revisions al
ready filed or adopt at the outset
the policy of a general inquiry into
existing schedules. Under the fleX-
IDLE provisions of the tariff act the
commission may initiate its inquiries
OF may uSCIlIlS " pIOSCCu Oii oPPAA
cations for investigations.
Chairman Marvin has opposed a
general inquiry while William S.
Culbertson, vice chairman, has held
that if the flexible provisions were
to be given effective application the
commission should initiate such an
inquiry and recommend to the pres
ident any required revision of rates
on that basis.
About seventeen articles, none Of
them regarded as highly controver-
sial are understood to be embraced
in the first rate inquiries for which
the commission already has sent out
formal notice More than two-thirds
of the applications on which the COM
mission has decided to hold hearings
are said to have urged increases in
duties

INCREASE IN LAND
TAXES IN GEORGIA
RELATIVELY SMALL
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
40S Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Only
ten states have shown lower per-
centages of increase in taxes on
farm lands during the last eight
years than that renoTted by Georgia.
according to an announcement made
by the department of agriculture.
This announcement shows that as
an average for the entire country,
farm land taxes were seventy-one
cents an acre in 1922, as compared
with thirty-one cents in 1914, or
an increase of 1875 per cent.
Georgia, the report further shows,
was eleventh in a list of seventeen
states in which tn epercentage OF
increase was lower than the average
for the entire country. In thirty
one states, it is shown, taxes on
farm lands have more than doubled,
while in two states, Arkansas and
Colorado, they have more than
trebled.
Farm land taxes in Georgia last
year were thirty cents an acre, as
compared with sixteen cents and
acre in 1928, according to the re-
port. or an increase during the eight
year period of SO per cent. The ten
states reporting lower percentages
Of increase than that OF Georgia are:
Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, New
Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Cali
fornia. "The increase" says the
announcement of the department of
agriculture, commenting upon the
report for he entire country, lis
attributed in part to a disproportion-
ate increase in assessed valuation,
based on high land prices during
and following the war, and in part
to increased cost of state and local
government.
"Tighest farm land taxes" it con-
tinues, "are paid in New Jersey,
which shows a tax of 1922 an &C ;
in 1922, compared with ninety-six
cents in 1914. Arizona pays the
smallest tax, or seven cents an acre,
in both 1922 and 1914.
"In Indiana, a tax of 5000 was
Levied in 1922, compared with ninety
cents in 1914; Michigan, $1,58, com
pared with sixty-six cents; Iowa,
S1.49, compared with sixty-eIght
cents; Idaho, $1.40, compared with f1f-
ty cents; Ohio, $124, compared with
sixty-one cents; Illinois, $1.23, com
pared with f1fty-six cents; Wiscon-
sin, $1.23. comhared with fifty-five
cents; Massachusetts, $1.20, COM
pared with .sixty-three cents; New
New York, $1.13, compared with
fifty-nine cents, and Pennsylvania,
Sill, compared with fifty-eight
cents.
Taxes in all other states were less
than 81 per acre in 1922, ranging
fro-,> sixteen cents, in Montana. to
ninety-nine cents, in Conn eticut. In
1914, the taxes ranged from seven
cents, in Montana and Arizona, to
ninety-six cents, in New Jersey"

EX-KAISER'S FAMILY LIFE
HAPPY, WIFE DECLARES

princess was united to the former
emperor by the civil ceremony of
marriage. The rooms chief orna
ment is an enormous portrait of the
ex-kaiser in the gorgeous uniform OF
the hussars, while on q writing ia
BILE is a photograph of the ex-kalser
first wife. incidentally, in other
rooms Of the castle there are many
pictures of the dead empress.
Princess Carries Cane
The princess greeted me pleas
antly. My first impression was that
she fairly beamed with health, en-
ergy and the joy of living. She was
plainly dressed in a blue costume,
with a seal jacket, small hat with
a veil. dark cotton gloves, wooden
stockings and she carried cane.
The three youngest of her chill
dren played about outside.
MY children quickly developed
confidence in the kaiser and a lilt-
ing for him." Hermine said. "And
for his part, he treats them with IA
therly tenderness. When my Oldest
boys are here they help the en-
peror to chop wood.
THE emperor continues this oc'
cupation," she went on, because
since childhood he has been accus-
toned to plenty Of exercise"
Wilhelm, she said, finds saving
and chopping wood a substitute for
sports with which to preserve his
physical elasticity"
HE also likes to help about the
park and garden Hermine added.
Then Hermine gave a glimpse of
life within the castle, of herself and
the former war lord by the fireside
of an evening, pursuing diligently
a intellectual life.
Kaiser Studies Theology
1.-THE emperor is actively inter.
ested in all branches of culture, r"
she said.
Just at present, he is busy on
archaeological studies and en- notes
for a booklet he is preparing regard
ing Greek antiquities.
1.-The emperor also is proceeding
earnestly with his meteorological
studies and observations. He is
strongly occupied, too, with theolog
ical studies. Only yesterday he sent
a letter to Pastor Vogel at Potsdam
in which he discussed theological
problems.
above all, the kaiser follows poll
tics, in which he naturally has the
greatest interest.

The doffers union, affiliated with
