ch I can still remember earlier in the consumption tax, then so farmers had to control the land, and the cattle to pay - .. Taxes. And many of the taxes have not been able to pay. As has been blocked. You have seized a cow or a horse. - .. I am with the father, I would have been maybe 13, 14 - As my father once a tax is not paid, not two tax rates paid. The third tax rate was sequester - requisition. There is the father of the cow - with a nice cow to Merano to the market, with a calf. I was there the first day after Lana, the second day at four in the morning by Lana at Merano on the market. On the market - that was a Prachtkuh a Prachtkuh it was. The farmers, the farmers of Algund: "Yes, Gurtner" - that is, the name of the farm: belts - yes, a Shean Kuah, a beautiful cow, ah, nice Kalbi. " No one has wondered what it costs, no .. because they all had no money. Says he: "What is worth the cow?" I say - father has demanded 1120 - 1120 lire for his best cow, the most beautiful cow. As the farmers are then walked around. Then come one, he says, "Yes, the cow, 'I would, like the cow to me. I also need the milk. But I do not have to pay the money." "No," the father says: "Can not I give you, because I must .. 600 lira in Lana pay out the tax, is usually auctioned." Then the farmer says, "Yes," he said, "600 lire I can give. But on the next 500 lire must halt .. wait a month" until he conceded that milk money, because that has the milk sold in the city. Today, the dairy, but once the women have come to fetch the milk from the farmers do not. And he can only pay it once he got the milk money. That was in 1933, approximately. In 1935 it was then not even a little better. Yes, remember well. Yes, and as the friend there, the Resch peasant top, not who knows, he says, that's right exactly. .. With the thousands, because you have bought the best cow, .. with a thousand lire. But no one had in 1000 lire.
