ended June 30, 1922. fell off almost
81 400. .000, 900, or 80 per cent, as COM
pared with the previous year, accord
ing to the annual report of the In

night by Commissioner Blair. In

Miscellaneous collections arising from
taxation other than that on incomes and
profits amounted to $1,110,532,61S for
1922, decrease OF s256.6se,770. or y?
per cent This slump, Mr.. Blair de-
clared, was accounted for mostly by the
repeal or reduction in rates of various
taxes provided for in the revenue act OF
1921. effective January 1. 1922.
Cost of Collection.
The net expenditure FOR collecting
taxes for 1922 was s34,2S6,651, which
was equivalent to s1.07 for each s1OO
collected as compared with " cents for
each 500 the previous year.
The difference in the relative cost OF
collection for the fiscal years 1921 and
1922" Mr.. Blair said, lis due mainly to
the large reduction in the revenues OF
1922 incident 10 the shrinkage In busi-
ness and incomes. the repeal of certain
miscellaneous war taxes and various
provisions of the law such as the amorti-
zation Of war time facilities and the In

Liberty Was Mocked.

This subsection constituted a
mockery OF those principles. yet
the expression OF them before
the world as the principles for
which the great nations were
willing to pour out their blood
and treasure gave us the oppor-
tunity to raise again our flag OF
freedom and call the attention OF
the world to the denial OF our
claim.
We were not pro-German any
moro during the war than we
were pro-Bulgarian, pro.Turk or
pro-French.
WE WERE ANTI.BRITISH
IN PURSUING OUR AGE-LONG
POLICY AGAINST THE COM.
MON ENEMY.
Not only was this our policy,
but 1t was the policy any weak
nation would pursue in the same
circumstances. We were a weak

The Ultimate Goal.

That policy has failed as II was
bound to fail. 1t had two evils
involved in II. While claiming
rightly to be a distinct nation we
had been acquiescing by our &C.
tons in the convenient British
doctrine that we were a British
province and an integral part of
the United Kingdom, an &C
quiescence which gave Mr.. Lloyd
George an opportunity to ques-
ton our right to freedom because
for over a hundred years, he
said, We had sent representatives
TO Westminster and soldiers to
fight in every British war.
And IL had the evil effect Of
causing our people to look to
England for any ameliorative
government. and even for "a
gift instalment" Of freedom, and
away from their own country
away from themselves-who could
give themselves these things.

nation, kept under strict subJec-
ton by stronger one, and we
formed and adopted our policy
in the light OF this fact.
We remembered England's DIFF.
ficulty was Ireland's oppor- unity.
and we took advantage of her en-.
gagement elsewhere to make
bid for freedom. The odds for
the moment were a little less un.
equal.
Our hostility toward England
was a common factor between
Germany and ourselves. We held
a common cause with Spain when
Spain was fighting England. We
made a common cause with the
Dutch when the Dutch were
fighting England.
1t so happened on this occasion
that England had put a weapon
into our hands against herself
The observation of the entire
world was focused upon the
mighty European war. This
was our advantage.
We could call attention to the
difference between England's
principles as expounded during
the war and her practice as
against ourselves.

England. who likes to- fight un.
der a high-sounding title, got her
opportunity with tho invasion Of
Belgium.
She was entering the war in
defense OF the freedom of small
nationalities."
America was tho first to look.
but she accepted tho motive OF
Britain in good faith and ulti-
mately joined as a champion Of
the weak against the strong.
America concentrated her at
tention upon the principle OF
"self-determination" and "the
reign OF a law based on tho con-
sent Of the self-governed."

AIRLESS AIRSHIP HAS
VACUUM HULL AS BAG

vacuum is made as perfect as
possible.
BY this means the pressure OF
the outside atmosphere is dis
tributed over three surfaces and
is reduced to less than five pounds
per square inch on any portion
OF the ship.
The airship is to be equipped
with four engines, each of 800
horsepower. OF type invented
by Prof. Garuffla. These en-
gines, instead of burning petrol,
use heavy oil. thus, with the alb
sence OF hydrogen in the ship
itself, eliminating to a great ex-
tent the risk Of fire.
The engines serve the dual
purpose of driving the airship
through the air and working the
pumps which create the vacuum
inside tho ship, so that the
vacuum can be increased or di-
minished at will in order to
make the ship rise or fall.
It is claimed that owing to the
peculiar construction of the hull
and TO its ability to rise to great
heights, where tho air is more
rarefied and therefore offers less
resistance, speeds as great as
2l5 miles an hour should be pos
sible, and that a journey from
London TO New York could be
accomplished in eighteen hours.
The Washington times., 1922-03-05

A y airship which. it is de-
~ .Clarcd. will revolutionize not
only war in the air." but
air transport generally. is to be
constructed and tested in Italy.
The ship is the invention of
Signor Vaugean. who, instead OF
using a gas.filled container to
make his airship rise, creates by
means of suction pumpsa vacuum
inside the envelope, which con-
sequently becomes lighter than
air.
For hundreds of years expert
mentors and scientists have been
working on these lines, but al.
ways, when success has seemed
near at hand their models have
collapsed owing to the enormous
pressure of the atmosphere,
amounting, with perfect vacuum,
TO as much as fifteen pounds to
the square inch, on the outside OF
the ship.
Signor Naugean, however, claims
TO have overcome this difficulty
by building his airship in three
sections, one inside the other.
The space between the outside
of the airship and the first inte-
rior hull is partly emptied of air,
still more air is exhausted from
the next space, while in the CEN
ter compartment Of the ship the

1t was only by great educa-
tional effort that our national
consciousness was reawakened.
We were to learn that freedom
was to be secured by travelling

to learn that instead Of it being

MED it to US. and we must make
that presence uncomfortable for
them. We were to learn that the
only question between US and
them was the terms wherein
they would clear out and cease
their interference with US.
But we started UP the long,
new road, the only one that could
lead us to freedom, at first with
faltering steps. We often looked
back at old paths which had be-
como familiar. where We knew
there were milestones where we
had been able to shift the burden

The Plunkett Convention.

At what was known as tho
"Plunkett convention" an effort
was made to get all parts OF this
opposition united on such a pol
icy. but divergence of opinion
was 30 great that to avoid
split it was declared there should
be no greater union than certain
cooperation.
The elections at North Roscom.
mon and South Longford were
fought out on a basis of this
agreement, and there was no def
mite united policy until the merg-
ing Of all sectarian organizations
with the Sim Fem. which, &C.

our right for freedom; expressed
our determination to have the
same liberty, tho same choice re-
gard for our own destinies as was
conceded Poland and Czecho-
SlovalIia or any other nation that
might emerge as a result OF the
new doctrines then being
preached.
Tho declaration OF a republic
in the uprising during Easter
week OF 1916 was Ireland's ex-
preston OF freedom she as.
pired TO.
This was our way OF saying We
wished to challenge Britain's
right to dominate US.
Ireland wishes TO make IL clear
that she stood for a form Of free
dom equal to that OF any other
nation. Ireland's claim for free
dom was no less strong than the
claim OF any other nation. We
had rs good right to complete
recognition as Poland had.
The position we adopted ex-
pressed our reputation OF the
British government. The British
form OF government was monar
Chical. In order TO express clearly
our desire to depart from all
forms of British rule we declared
Ireland a republic.
We repudiated the British form
OF government. not because it
was monarchical. but because it
was British. eve repudiated the
claim Of the British republic rule
over us as definitely as we re-
pudiated the claim of the British

developing Australia's empty

RICHES IN VAST DESERTS"
The real Australia has as yet
only been scratched. During its
short history men have been
mainly concerned in developing
the rich costal belt. really a mar
row fringe running right around
Australia. where most of the
great cities have been built. Now
the cities are congested. and eyes
are turning to the vast empty
spaces Of the interior.
Professor David's expedition
has proved that the deserts" OF
Central Australia contain within
them an almost unimaginable
natural wealth. and 1t has also
found conclusive proof that the
same desert" which In summer
time has temperature ranging
from 100 degrees in the shade,
was once ribbed with thick ice
and had an Arctic climate.
II is an almost incredible fact
that today Central Australia is
full, not Of icy rivers. but OF hot
springs, some Of which produce
more than 10000 gallons a day
and whose waters. despite their

Easter Week Revolt.

The Easter week uprising
pointed out tho new road. But,
after the declaration Of a repub-
lie and all it meant through the
population Of Great Britain, we
lapsed into our old way or took
but uncertain steps upon the new
one.
When the first election after
tho uprising Of Easter week took
place in North Roscommon in
1917, SO much had the republic
been forgotten and SO little had
tho teachings Of our leaders
penetrated to the minds Of the
people that one OF the candi-
dates, who was Count Plunkett.
whose son had been martyred
after the uprising. was returned
only on the ground OF his oppo-
sition to the Irish party candi.
date.
Abstention from attendance at
the British Parliament was an
indispensable factor in the re.
publican ideal-repudiation OF for
eign interference. But 1t was
only after his election that Count
Plunkett declared his intention
not to go to Westminster. and
the announcement was not re-
ceived very enthusiastically by
some of the most energetic OF
his supporters.
They had returned a man, it
was said, who didn't intend to

prospector who said that he was
too busy looking for water to both
er about gold probably affords the
best explanation Of the strange
supineness OF Australian govern
ments in not calling in the aid Of
science to solve the problem Of the
mineral resources OF the common
wealth.
Had fate willed II that a scien-
tically minded people like the Ger
mans should have had this unde-
veloped but Croesuslike continent
at their disposal there Is little
doubt that there would not have
been half the uncertainty about
its natural resources that there is
at present.
The discovery by Professor Da-
vid's expedition OF a great body OF
brown coal means an immediate
addition to the valuable fuel re-
sources of South Australia-an ad-
dition that will be Of the highest
possible value when work Is start
ed on the North South Railway.
DEADLY POISON PLANTS.
Another striking example Of the
valuable work done by the expedi-
ton Is to be found In the collec-
ton Of a large number Of plants
by the botanists. Among those
plants were two of the deadliest
poison plants In the interior-the
Euphorbia Drummondi and the ma
tive tobacco plant.
In ordinary times these plants
are avoided by stock, but when
drought time comes, being very
hardy and among the last to sur
vive. they cause many deaths, and
stock owners during drought sea
son lose as much as per cent
their stock through deaths caused
by eating these plants, which are
not touched when more whole
some fodder In available.
Another subject Of investigation
The Washington times., 1922-03-05

was the problem Of the partial dis
appearance Of the mulga. This is
a low-growing shrub of great value
for feeding stock in times OF
drought. but. unfortunately for
the settler. the rabbits are even
fonder of it than cattle and sheep,
and their depredations are largely
responsible for it's gradual disap-
pearance.
The expedition found few traces
Of the emu or kangaroo: and 1t Is
to be feared that both of these
typical Australian animals are
gradually dying out. The bird life.

recognized. was q war between
two rival empires. tho old ono
and tho new one. the new becom-

The Washington times., 1922-03-05

The importance of the uprising
OF 1916 did not become apparent
until 1918.
1t is not correct to say now
that the republican principle
which was stated by the leaders
at this uprising continued with
out a break.
The declaration of the republic
was really in advance Of national
thought and 1t was only after a
period OF two years OF propa-
ganda that we were actually able
TO get solidarity on the idea.

the challenge II made to tho old
Irish party.
