FATE OF BALLOON

The three navy officers who left the
Naval Air Station at Rockaway Point
Monday on an experimental trip in
big service balloon have vanished. At
an early hour this morning their fate
was a mystery. They had been swal-
lowed up apparently by terrific storm
that swept the north country about
the time they would be crossing it.
II was fou i'd last night that the re-
ports that came from the Adirondacks

crashed against the top of Fork Noun

that the experiment ended Tue day
afternoon in tragic plunge into Sara

was known only that the balloon was
seen passing low over Wells. y. Y. a
little more than twenty-four hours af-
ter ii left Rockaway Point.
But the seriousness oil the situation
which Lieut.. Walter Hinton. the flight
nave been forced into as they swept
northward Monday night and Tuesday
morning was realized yesterday in the
weather reports from the mountain ter
ritory.
From Saranac Lake last night were
received reports that limited the big gas
bag with its basket and three officers
may have dropped into the woods far
away from any habitation.

officers az Rockaway Point were still
puzzled last night over the failure of the
carrier pigeons that we're taken as mes
sengers The balloon has no motive

on the trip Accordingly the best pigeons
available were placed In cages I'm the

Hinton would release them with mes

has appeared at Rockaway. and II was
the one released Monday afternoon.

pressed no anxiety for their comrades

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. C., Dec. 10.


Washington, ID. c., Dec. 10.
A resolution providing that no penal
ties except interest shall apply until
after sixty days for non-payment of
Federal taxes due December Is was
introduced in the House to-day by
Representative Edmonds (Pa). Be
cause of recent losses many business
men will be unable to pay the install
ment of their taxes due, and it would
be unfair TO apply penalties under
present conditions, Mr.. Edmonds be-
lieves.
His resolution would amount to ex
tension OF the payment of the Decem-
Der instalment which Treasury Off
Gals have stated they are unable to
grant under present laws.
Although the House Ways and
Means Committee previously declined

Situation Not as Acute.

When the clock struck II last night
William II. Edwards, Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the First district
of New York. put on his coat and hat
and went home to bed after the most
trying day of his long experience in
gathering money for Uncle Sam
Midnight was the last minute of the
last day for the payment of the fourth
instalment of the income and excess
profits taxes. Rough calculation at
that time showed that the Collector
had received between $30,o00,000 and
$40. 900, 900 less than he had expected.
In other words, the Government esti-
mates, made early in the year, of the
sum that would be received from tax
payers for the last quarter shrank
nearly $4,000, 900 in the actual per-
formance.
Some OF this shrinkage-how much
the Collector cannot even guess ats
due to the delinquency of individual and
corporate taxpayers. who said that be-
cause of business conditions they could
not pay at this time and asked for ex-
tension. Some of it is due to claims for
abatement of taxes on the ground that
the taxable income or profits for the
last one-fourth of the year proved to be
less than was indicated by the taxpayer
as probable when he made his tentative
return.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
MARION, Ohio Dec. 15.-Defnite an
nouncement was made by President
elect Harding in an address here to-
night in the Epworth Church before
the Ohio Federation of the Child Con-
servation League that he will ask Con-
gress to authorize a new department
of government-the Department of
Public Welfare. The announcement
looks toward keeping pledge Senator
Harding made to the women of America
in the course Of his campaign.
1t is entirely possible that woman
will be invited to head the new de-
partment, and it is known that the
President-elect has received recon-
mendations regarding several who are
prominent in welfare work and social
justice activities.
Announcement of the intention to
create this new department merely
precedes similar announcements. 1t is
understood by THE New YORK HERALD
that the President-elect believes the
greatly expanded business Of admins
tration requires several new depart
ments.

Shrinkage of Income.


In number OF cases, the Collector
said the non-ful1lment of expectations
was due 10 the fact that the fiscal year
Of corporations and the Government =
calendar year were not coterminous and
that the income for tho last half Of the
fiscal year proved to be less than that Of
the first half.
Aside from these reasons. Mr. Edwards
said It was no uncommon thing for men
to come 10 him NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

their case with two words, I'm broke
Whether these persons eventually will be
able 10 pay there Is no way OF telling
and the Collector made no pretence OF
trying 10 estimate the sum that the Gov
ernment would be unable 20 collect. lie
did say however:
ut is the first time that this once
found some OF the leading industries and
individuals short of cash. Many OF the
large taxpayers told me that they were
sorry they didn't pay their taxes in full
on the first due date. They had the

now. The silk and textile and cloak

hit. Depreciation in inventories and In

venience TO some OF Uncle Sans biggest

The financial standing OF at least one
man VINO asked for leniency is indicated
by the fact that he was supposed 70 pay

His children also will not be so anxious to leave
the farm, when they learn they make as much
on the farm in the city and have the added benz
sefts of pure air and pure food.
A food shortage is now impending and one of the
prime causes is because the farmer went broke
feeding the world when, had he received just COM
pensation, there would have been need for worry
on that score
Like the in the nursery tale s'they ehaye killed
the goose that laid the golden egg" With the COM
ing into being of the Nonpartisan league program
there will not be such spread between prices res
ceived by the producer and those paid by the COM
sumner. It will do away with a lot of the useless
niddlemen along the way.
Therefore the League means much to the farm
women and children, and also means much to the
ultimate consumer, who will get his necessities
without paying toll all along the way. But these
things can not be had without struggle. The
enemy firmly intrenched and is loath to yield any
of his privileges which he has enjoyed for so long
He is making his last final stand and it will take
the united efforts Of all who toll to disodge him.
Sisters, study up on economics. Read all the lit

states, North Dakota, the League controls both

cratic.
Il North Dakota has the most liberal law Of any
state in the Union allowing distant from the
polls to vote without being required to go to the
voting place. This law was passed by the League
Legislature.
b In every state in which the League has thus far
put up candidates women have been On the ticket.
In North Dakota and South Dakota women have
been indorsed for state superintendent Of schools,
Nebraska a woman has been indorsed for congress
and in Minnesota al woman was indorsed for state
treasurer but unable to file because Of the fail
