When the young Turks lifted Ras
child Effendi upon the throne from
which they had showed his brother
Abdul Hamid, they dragged a man OF
siXty-tve from palace where he had
been all his life scarcely more than a
prisoner. In years Of inactivity his
body had grown big, big in width,
breadth and length, burden for his
short legs. He was a sick man then.
On the Selaflik Fridays the chalky
paleness Of his heavy face and the
dullness Of his eyes were accentuated
by the troops of young guardsmen in
brilliant uniforms and the officers in
glittering gold braid who surrounded
him. The picture had in it more of
pathos than imperialism.
When he went to appeal to the 10y
atty Of the Albanians on the field of
Kassovo, Macedonia, he was the first
Ottoman sovereign to visit his prov
fnces on mission of peace. But the
Albanians, who had imagined the sui
tan had wings and few of humanity's
frailties, were disappointed at the
sight of the heavy, feeble man in
black frock coat, and the mission
failed. He seemed to lack either the
knowledge or the physical force to
combat the shrewd politicians around
him, and he became merely a figure.
head for the dominant party of the
of union and progress.
Many things may happen with the
passing of this sick man. He may be
the last Of the Osmanli to rule In Eu-
rope; he may be the last to bear the
honors and title of the caliphate. But
ne has been part of the almost for
lorn hope to restore the glories of the
empire, and has lived to see a Turkish
army with munitions of war and SUD.

successful attempt to hold the almost
sacred Dardanelles against a great en-

HEAVIER TAXATION ON
Big INCOMES URGED
Brief Is Filed by the Government With
the Supreme Court In Pending
Income Tax Cases.

Observation-Disclosures taxation or
big incomes as relief from the dis
proportionate share" of governmental
support borne by the poor under In
direct taxation, was defended Tuesday
by the government in brief filed with
the supreme court in the pending in,
come tax cases.
The brief bears the names of At
torney General Gregory, Solicitor Cen
eral Davis and Assistant Attorney
General William Wallace, Jr, and rep
resents months of study by the gov
ernment's legal talent of all the vari-
Gus attacks on the income tax, the
success of which would reduce the
governments income $82,OOO,O0O a
year.
THE ordinary system of indirect
taxation upon consumption places
upon the poor person a disproportion-
ate share of the burden of government
support" " says the brief in reply to
charge of discrimination in the addi-
tlonal or surtax on incomes of over
$4,000. Income taxation tends to
shift the burden upward. 1t is unde-
nlab!e that the greater the income the
greater the ease with which the pay
ment OF taxes is met. Even allowing
for the normal inevitable increase in
the scale of living, he who has the
larger income the more easily can
shoulder the burden of increase as the
amount OF income increases, not mere
ly the total tax, but also the rate of
taxation. At least, congress has in
Its discretion determined that the
heavier burden can be carried more
easily by the larger income, and it is
not for the courts to say that such
2lasslfications is outrageous.
Answering contention that DESPITE
he sixteenth amendment, the consti- |
,ution still requires income taxes to be
the brief urges that the uni. |
ormlty rule Is limited to excise taxes.
