MAYNARD EXPLAINS
 HOW STATEMENT ON
 BOOZE WAS JUGGLED

WASHINGTON. Dec. 16.-Lieuten- ant Belvin W. Maynard, the flying parson," declared tonight in formal statement that his recent statement concerning the effects of alcoholic liquors on aviators. which was issued through the Anti Saloon league, had heen "juggled7 until it has left false Impression and had enormously at tributed his remarks as applying to aviators participating in the trans continental reliability test.
 His statement follows:
 "I feel it is due to the memory of the wonderful men who gave their lives in the cause of aviation develop ment in the recent transcontinental air race to clear up the horrible and mis- crable impression that has gotten about through the juggling of my statement to the Anti Saloon league with respect to the effect of intoxicat ing liquor on flyers generally.
 My statement was made in good f9ith 10 the Anti Saloon league at their earnest solicitation and they, robbiGg it of it's opening paragraph and in giv- ing it the misleading caption booze Knocked Out Transcontinental Flyers have. with The aid of the press, sue cecded in doing me the most serious injustice l have ever undergone, and have done 10 the transcontinental flyer of the race and to the air service as a whole, an even more serious injustice
 Such statemnets that a large num- Der of the casualties in the race were caused by flying with hang overs and being drunk, are absolutely false and without foundation and were manipu- lated 10 create a sensation The very fact that l was very fortunate by in- tervention of good weather in my favor lo be constantly few miles ahead oi the rest of the flyers. is evidence h itself that l could not have based my opinion on the effect of alcohol on fly. ing from my observation of flyers ir the race. Indeed several of those killed were total abstainers.
 The juggling of my statement hai transformed into lie against my col leagues in the race. which impressio, ] certainly won't allow to stand with out an emphatic and complete denia on my part. Let my statement be nov clear and not twisted to meet the de mands of those who hunger for scanda and sensation.
 'l said and I still say that many ac cidents in aviation are caused by over
 
 where false move means disaster. an, in any such vocation the participan needs the full use of an active brair not deadened and weakened by the eff Feet of liquor.
 Such an affected brain and the cor responding reaction on the nervou 'Nstem add an unnecessary fatal haz lrd to the already natural and neces 'ary hazard of flying itself
 The action of the publicity agent . 1t the anti-saloon league. or the pres; Jr whatever 1t was. in so juggling tn .r1le statement of fact to meet the de mands of sensation. in making it ap |. pear that my conclusions were base entirely upon my observations durin s the race, has created this most fais 2 and unjust impression of which aI r n no way party and for whica I al . ruly sorry.
 r T only hope that this true state ment of my ideas receive the sam consideration and publicity that wa afforded the false one"

PADEREWSK| GIVES
 UP HIS PORTFOLIO

LONDON, Eng, Dec. 16.-The res lgnation Of Jgnance Jan PadereWsl1l as prime minister of Poland was the outcome of administrative difficulties, During his occupancy of the premier snip NJ. Paderewski is declared to have demonstrated more ability as a statesman and negotiator than as an administrator. this being especially ap- parent in his dealings with the sll preme council in Pars.
 M. Paderewsk assumed office at time when Poland required men of strong administrative capacity to un dertake the country's reconstruction after German occupation. It is as- serted that he realized that dissatis- faction existed in the country over the governments failure to make the progress expected of it and also that strong hostility to him existed in the diet.
 In letter to Brigadier General Jos eph Pilsudsh. chief of state, Pader- ewski recently explained that this hos tility together with loss of the sup port he had expected from some groups in the diet, had made 1t impos- sible for him to form strong minis try. It is asserted that he also lost in- LiUChSC III Ahc SouhltY ttIOuRn HIS failure to secure East Galicia for Po- land.
 The understanding here is that Pad erewski will retire for a long rest to his chateau on Lake Geneva, and that with his departure General Pilsudski will become the leading spirit looking to Poland's future.
 The new Polish cabinet is not con- sidered here to be a strong one, but it Is thought it may prove a good work ing combination representing the gen. eral good sense of Poland.

 1920 NOMINATION
Republican A. p. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Senator Harding of Ohio formally announced tonight his candidacy for the repub- lican presidential nomination in 1920. The announcement was made in let ter to Clare Hughes of PIqua, Ohio, chairman of the Miami county repub- lican committee authorizing the use of the senator's name in the choosing of delegates to the national convention.
 Senator Harding is the third repub- lican senator to make known his pres idential aspirations. Senators Poin- dexter of Washington and Johnson of California already have formally an- nounced their candidacy, and a formal boom for Senator Sutherland of West Virginia also has been inaugurated.
 In his letter, Senator Harding said he had mo personal preference in the natter but gladly would cooperate in, making effective the manifest wish of the republicans of the state." He added. however, that he would an- nounce no platform. as that was the duty of the national convention. The senator said he would not make a | personal pre- convention campaign be . cause it would necesstate neglect of | his senate duties.
 "A previous communication to our state organization and many letters to | friends have expressed my real reluc- | tance to permit the use of my name in this connection, the letter said, "and it was genuinely sincere and expressed | then my personal and political prefer ence. I do not forget, however, that my first obligation politically is to the republicans of our state. who have SC generously honored me-

MANY RUSH TO MAKE FINAL PAYMENT IF
 1913 INCOME TAX.

Final payments of income taxes | were made in Phoenix Monday, but the 1 exact number of persons who paid the final installment on 1919 taxes had not been estimated yesterday. The only way married man, possessed of an average net income of $2,400 year may beat the income tax is by raising a family of two children.
 There were several who waited until the last minute to pay the last install ment, and still others who did not pay at all. The latter will be penalized.
 Here is what is to happen 10 the in comes of 1920:
 A married man is allowed an ex- emption of $2,000 and $200 for each child under IS years of age. With two children or dependent under s years of age or one physically or mentally defective, the married man of moder- ate means need not worry about his income tax returns. Neither should he worry about the surtaX, which has driven many to the edge of the grave figuring the why and wherefore of this tax.
 With the single man, who has an exemption of $l000 there is no such chance to avoid calling on the income tax man unless his income is under the $1,000 scale.
 A Single Mans Tax If his total income for the year is s1,o00, salary and all, he has $500 on which he must pay an income tax of per cent, or SEQ This is a reduction of per cent over the income tax rate l of year ago.
 In 1918, the tax on a net income of not exceeding s4,000 was per cent, and for incomes over $4.OOO, after the l personal exemption is deducted. the rate was 12 per cent For 1919, these rates have been reduced to per cent | for the incomes under $4000 and to S per cent for those over $4.00O, after the exemption had been deducted.
 There is no change in the surtax. which is an additional tax paid on l net incomes of over 5000. This is a graduated tax and is not known much l or by the average wage earner.
 Additional Payment
 Those possessing 8 net income be- tween 5000 and $6,000 must pay an additional tax of 1 per cent: those having net income of from s6.OO0 to $s,o00 are required to pay a ? per. cent extra tax and so on up to . Der cent for an income between $12,0oO and Sl4,0O0. The surtaX climbs higher as the net income grows up to $100,000.
 Income tax reports are required Of all single persons whose net income for the year was s1,00O and over. and 4 married persons whose net income was I s2,000 or more.
 Husband and Wife
 In the event the husband and wife have incomes, it is permissible for them to make the income report as one person or separate them.
 In addition to the exemption men, toned above for married and single persons, husband and wife if living apart, is allowed an exemption ot S1,000
 Where the husband and wife live to- gether, they are not granted more than one exemption of $2,000. In the event they make individna tax returns, the personal exemption may be taken by one, or it may be divided between them.

Bill For Control of Sugor in 1920
 Passed By House

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The house today passed the senate bill continuing the sugar equalization board through 1920 by a vote of 256 to 24. The measure now goes to con- ference.
 While the only disputes to be settled in conference are the con tinuance of the war time powers permitting licensing control of the sugar business, and the requisi- tioning of stocks of refineries leaders in congress were doubtful whether an agreement could be reached before the holiday recess. As passed by the senate, the bill repealed the license control, and contained no reference to the re- quisitioning power.
