BERLIN R-Five passengers whose
ages totaled 384 years recently went
up into the air in a plane of the "luft-
hansa," the German airWays corpora
ton, thereby celebrating a silver we'd
ding anniversary in one of the most
unique ways on record.
The silver bridal couple were Ber-
lin roofer named Rindfleisch and his
wife. Both were genuinely touched
when Rindfleisch's aged parents, an
aunt and Frau Rindfleisch's mother
came over from Leipsic to present
their congratulate in person. AT
the festive meal which followed, the
word airplane was introduced in the
discussion
IT would die a happy man." Rind-
fleisch's father exclaimed, 1f I could
but once try out this most modern of
means of transportation.
$50 would l." chimed in his wife.
''We, too," echoed the mother-inlaw
and the aunt.
Herr Rindfleisch said nothing, but
the next day, when his relatives were
ready to start back for Leipsic, drove
them, instead of to the railway sta
tion, to the Tempelhof airdrome.

An informal statement that the

SOME POINTS NOT
ON THE COMPASS

Reading the federal government
budget items, one whose experience
reaches somewhat back Of the 1900
period recalls that the thought OF
billion dollar appropriation by
congress in the two year period is
comparatively new thing. The
budget calls for $645,000,0OO for na~
tional defense and that exceeds by
so per cent the total appropriation
of congress for the year 1900. The
budget calls for $4,258,000,000. That
is 1S times the whole appropriation
of congress for 1898. The budget
asks $768 100000 for the postoffice
department alone and that is more
than the appropriations for all ptr-
poses for both 1897 and 1898. But
no one criticizes it because the United
States is no longer a small or cheap
nation. 1t is a billion dollar country
and the people want things done on
a billion dollar basis.
Under the amendment to the state
constitution, governors of that state
will receive $4,000 "a year for their
services in future. Governor Smith,
now serving, when he completes his
term, will have been 81 years in
the state service and under the state
law will receive pension of $4,000
a year following his retirement In4
cidentally, when he retires a year
from next January he will be only
SIS years old.
Jack Johnson, former heavyweight
champion, according to report, is
about to break into politics by att
tempting to lead the colored voters
of Chicago where he now resides,
into the democratic camp. for Cow
ernor Alfred E. Smith for president.
What was that old maxim about
politics making funny bedfellows.

House ARGUES
TAX REDUCTION
ILLSATURDAY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 R-Gener-
al debate on the tax bill was hurried
forward in the house today with lead
egS hopeful that when the measure is
taken up again Monday members
would be ready to proceed with its
consideration under rules permitting
the offering of amendments.
The discussion today touched upon
practically all phases of the tax ques-
ton, number of members defending
the bill as drafted by the house ways
and means committee and others Wig
orously attacking certain of its pro-
posalS.
Representative Hawley of Oregon,
senior republican committee member
took an active part in supporting the
measure, arguing that its proposal. to
reduce the tax rateeon corporation i1l-
comes from 134a to IL X per cent would
benefit two-thirds of the wage earn
ers in the country.
The Oregon member cautioned
against congress taking action that
might cause a deficit in the treasury.
He pointed out that the department
had placed $225,0O0 900 as the maxi
mum cut, advisable and that the COM
nittee had exceeded this by more than
100000. .
Representative Oldfield of Arkansas,
a. democratic committee member,
charged that republican politics had
prevented inclusion in the bill of pro-
visions aimed to increase efficiency in
administration of the tax law.
This was done" he added, 'tto save
some republican job holders out in the
states
Declaring that the crux of the tax
question is disposition of the treasury
surplus, Representative Jacobstein,
democrat, New York, urged that the
money in the treasury at the end of
the present fiscal year which is not
needed for national expenses be par
TALLY devoted to further reduction
of the corporation tax
Representative Chindblom, republi-.
can, Illinois, said the large corporation
tax cut was justified because so many
stockholders would benefit He fatty
opposed any larger tax exemptions
for married persons in the lower
brackets, saying that even the pres
ent $500 exemption was too high.
