Taxes a Mystery to Him.

Representative Campbell of Kansas
said IL was a mystery to him why the
democrats wanted to tax the people Of
the United States rather than to tax
the foreigner who wants to sell goods
here. He said the imports are now
greater than ever. but that no tariff on
them causes the Treasury to lose at
the rate OF $77,0o0.000 a year on what
is now being imported.
Representative Mondell drew the fol-
lowing pitiful picture:
''Jncle Sam stands begging pennies
at the telephone booth, or taking toll
on little children and sweet girl gradu-
ates through the tax on chewing gum"
He also referred 20 the stamp taxes on
commercial paper in these words:
The clutching fingers of the Treas
ury stand ready to take money from
US for stamps we undergo the
chastened joy of paying old debts with
new notes, our hard-earned promises
TO pay"
Representative Fordney of Michigan
speaking a second time, said the demo-
Gratis would fly before the republicans
at election time like grasshoppers be-

that the bookkeeping methods Of the

bank official in jail.

House democrats, urged by their new

in yelling in the chamber. late yester-
day afternoon passed the joint resolu-
tion continuing the present war tax
law for one year-until December 81,
1916. The vote was 2o5 to 1S9.
The minority. supported by five pro-
gressiyes, and five democrats, voted
soldly against the resolution. Ere
quent attempts were made by re-
publicans to shorten the period OF the
extension.
Republicans used the time allotted
to them to telling just wnat a caiaml- :
tous and thoroughly inadequate lot
the democrats are. while the democrats
made the time -honored defense that
the G. o. P. prefers a high tariff to
an internal revenue tax, because the
tariff puts money into the pockets OF
favorite corporations. There was not
a new idea in the entire series of
speeches. lest it be the hard blows
which the republicans dealt to the new

DEATH COMES TO WOMAN
AS AERO FALLS INTO BAY
Mrs. Lulu Comstock, Seventy-Four
Years Old, Desired to ely Once
Before Retiring to Quiet Life"

SAN DIEGO. Cal, December LEX
pressing the desire to Fly once before
retiring to a quiet life" Mrs. Lulu
Comstock, seventy-four years old, of
this city, arranged for a flight with
Aviator Anton Meyerhoffer. jr.. that
ended yesterday with the falling Of the
flying boat in the water of San Diego
bay and the death of the woman.
Mrs Comstock, previous to the be-
ginning of the flight. stated that she
wished to be taken to a height of at
least 800 feet. Within a few min
utes after the fight had been started,
according to the story told by Meyer
hoffer. Mrs. Comstock was seized with
a fit, and reaching out, grabbed the
aviator in a firm grasp.
Meyerhoffer says that he struggled
desperately to free himself from the
embrace OF the woman, so that he could
control the machine, but that before he
could release himself from her grasp
the flying boat which was about fifty
feet in the air, turned over and fell
into the waters of the bay. The force
of the impact with the water COM
pletely wrecked the flying boat. Meyer
hotter escaped with a few scratches on
the face.
