He told the com- mittee that the question of taxing wntomebil as been a big problem all over the country and that in cer- ta states, Including his own, in order to avold paying five or six taxes, they had decided on a single 2% on gasoline as the falrest ar- rangement, so that those who use automobiles the most pay proportion- ately higher taxes. The question of constitutionality hav- $ug@ been brought up several times during consideration of this reciprocity bill, Representative Fitsgerald _explained to his colleagues that the ques- 1ion of constitutionality does not ap- vly In the District, as this is-not a tate of the Union. “There is no onstitutional limitation on Congress 10 legislate for the District,” he said, “and_Congress has all powers over legislation affecting the National Capital. When Representative Underhill moved that the bill be reported as mended, Representative Zthiman asked for a separate vote on the Un- derhill amendment imposing personal property tax. Representative Lam- pert of Wisconsin, then sought action so that a vote on the bill would be deferred until the next regular meet- ing. Representative Kent stated that he believed the bill in its present form could not pass, and that he would vote against it. He urged that it be allowed to go over until after the Christmas holidays. Representative Zihlman explained that his insistence on early action was in order to get the bill into the Jlouse for consideration on the first District day, and for that reason a special meeting was arranged for January 4, the day after Congress re- turns from the Christmas holidays. ident of for extent | in | wel- lots | that prisoners | hich already has been ap- | fWOMAN NEAR DEATH ATTEMPTING ‘TO SAVE CANARIES Mrs. Clara E.

The resolution calls attention to dispatches published last May in va- rious American newspapers, in which it was declared Gov. Wood had in his possession a list of names of “sena- tors, representatives and others prominent in Washington social life who received payment from the Phil- ippine independence commission.” It |also refers to charges made in some quarters that Gov. Wood has usurped power and “has assumed the role of dictator. Attention is called to the row which developed recently between Gov. | Wood and various insular govern- ment officials and culminated in the resignation of the latter, and ref- erence is made to Gov. Wood's admin- istration in Cuba and to the presi- dentfal campaign conducted in his behalf in 1920. “In justice to Gov. Wood and those who contributed to his political cam- paign,” the resolution reads, “the in- vestigation should be extended to in- clude charges to the effect that rights in the Philippines given or proposed to private American interests are not unrelated to such contributions. Mr, Frear suggests that the Inves- tigating committee would do well to look into the deposit of Philippine government funds in various Ameri- can banks. A total of $31,449,219 of such funds, he says, are in banks and trust companies in the United States. SYMPATHY EXPRESSED. Resolutions Sent to Family of Boy Killed by Truck.
