Soldiers May Have to
Use Balloon to Get
Gifts From Xmas Tree

The largest Christmas tree ever
used in the state to hang presents
on will be given the soldiers at the
balloon school of Fort Omaha if
the efforts of Instructor A. L. Stew
ems prove successful.
If the right tree is secured bal
loon will be required to reach the
highest branches to hold presents,
and another will be necessary to Sc
cure the gifts from the top of the
tree. A mammoth skating pond will
be constructed around the base of
the tree.
The idea Of using a balloon for
hanging and removing gifts from
the tree was conceived by Mrs.
Jacob w. S. Wuest, wife of Lieut..
Col. J. w. S: Wuest, commandant
at the fort. Mr.. Stevens left yester-
day on his search for a tree high
enough for balloon to hover about
the topmost branches.

TOBACCO PROVES
GREATEST ASSET
TO UNCLE SAM
Of Six Billion Revenue Re-
ceipts of Last Fiscal Year Mic
otine Yields $2O6. OO3. 900.

Washington, Dec. ESTIMATES Of
$6,000,000,000 as the yield OF the
present revenue law for the first IL
months of its operation will be
closely approached if not fully real
lied, Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Roper said in his annual re-
port.
Payments of the first two install
ments, March IS and June IS,
brought into the treasury total OF
$2,600,783,000, Mr.. Roper said, while
reports already in hand of the third
installment payable September IS,
fully support the bureaus estimate.
Commissioner Roper said the to-
bacco industry had developed, into
one of the greatest sources of fed
eral revue, the total receipts from
this source alone for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1919, being 6,0O3,-
900. an increase of $48,800,000 over
those Of the preceding year.
More Cigarets Smoked.
An enormous increase in the num-
Der of cigarets manufactured was
shown by the reports, the total for
the last fiscal year being approx
mately eight times larger than in
1910. In that year 8,500,000,00O
cigarets and 8,000,000,00 cigars were
manufactured, while in the last fiscal
year the manufacture of cigarets had
increased to 45,5O0,00O, 900, while the
number of cigars remained prac-
tically stationary.
Discussing constitutional prohibi-
ton, Mr.. Roper said that probably
100000 gallons OF spurious liquors
would remain in bonded warehouses
when the constitutional amendment
becomes effective January 10.
During the year ended June so, ap-
proximatcly 100000 gallons of

Prohibition a Problem.
The effect of wartime prohibition
has presented problem which is
causing revenue officials serious
embarrassment" Mr. Roper said.
Holders of heavy stocks of liquor in
bond were forced, under provisions
of the last revenue act, to pay an
additional ,tax September IS. The
law closing the saloons for the pc
Rod of the war has left those inter-
ests with their products and without
means of obtaining money to make
the payments, he said.
Under the law the discretion of
the bureau is limited to extending
the time for payment of these taxes
seven months" Mr.. Roper ex-
planned. Serious embarrassment
has resulted as to the course of &C
ton which should be taken in these
cases to protect the interests OF the
without imposing un-
due financial hardships on the tax
payers which presumably were not
by congress-"
The report revealed a menace in
traffic in drugs between
this country and Canada and Mex
leo. Mr.. Roper urged that some
temporary arrangement be estab-
lshed which would put stop to
this smuggling.
Expenditures of the bureau during
the last fiscal year, Mr.. Roper said,
were $20,573,771, an increase of $l2,7
OO3,214 over the previous fiscal year.
On this basis, he said, it had cost
the government 0.543 per cent to
administer the revenue laws and
collect the second greatest tax bill
the nation ever has laid.
