from cigars are kept were visited by
DR. Wood Tuesday and their use or

that many smokers place their cigars

using the machine. 1t is claimed that

u. S. MAINTAINS TAX
ON INCOMES IS JUST
Brief to the Supreme Court Says
the Levy Relieves the Poor.

Washington. Oct. 12.-Heavier taxa
tion on big incomes as a relief from the
"disproportionat share" of govern
mental support borne by the poor un-
der indirect taxation was defended to-
day by the government in brief filed
with the Supreme Court in the pending
income tax cases. The brief is in re
ply TO a charge of discrimination in
the additional or surtax on incomes
of over $4,000.
Income taxation tends to shift the
burden upward" says the brief. at is
undeniable that the greater the income
the greater the ease with which the
payment Of taxes is met. Even allow
ing for the normal inevitable increase
in the scale Of living he who has the
larger income can the more easily
shoulder the burden of increasing, as
the amount of income increases, not
merely the total tax, but also the rate
of taxation. At least Congress has in
its discretion determined that the heav-
Ter burden can be carried more easily
by the larger income, and it is not for
the courts to say that such classified
ton is outrageous"
Answering a contention that despite
the Sixteenth Amendment the Constitu-
tion still requires income taxes TO be
uniform, the brief urges that the uni
formity rule is limited to excise taxes
and does not reach direct taxes.
As to alleged determinations, the
government contends Congress has the
recognized power to make classified
tons so long as they are not unnatural
and are based on real distinctions.

FINEST KINGDOM
OPENS CONSULATE
Montenegrins, in Crimson
and Gold, Dedicate First
u. S. Headquarters.

A flag strange to Broadway waved
from the twelfth floor OF the big white
building at 112 West Fortieth Street
yesterday afternoon. It bore three
broad horizontal stripes OF red, blue
and white. In the centre Of the wide
blue bar was a golden crown, and be-
meath It the letters n. I. The flag
represented the smallest country in
Europe, now that Luxembourg is swal-
lowed up in war-s country smaller
than New Jersey and just little larger
than Connecticut. II stood for Monte
negro, the Land of the Black Mountain.
The reason the flag flew so proudly
was that it marked the first Montene-
grin consulate In the United States.
Inside the window where its staff was
bolted the ceremony Of blessing the
Offices had just taken place.
The Rev. Sergius Snegrief, Of st.
Nicholas's Russian Cathedral, 10 East
Seventy-ninth Street, ofticiated at the
ceremonies. Wearing over his black
cassock a gorgeous chasuble OF white,
with ecclesiastical designs in red, and
bordered with, heavy gold, ne faced
table whereon were set candle and
an ikon, and made his prayers Of bless
ing. Now and then singer at his
elbow would take up the sonorous
chant. Some of the prayers were those
of the regular ritual of the Greek Cath
Ollie Church, read from a missal bound
in red velvet and trimmed heavily with
brass. Other prayers begged victory
for the Allies.
At the end Of his prayers for Mon
tenegro-the tiny land that is fighting
Austria Hungary, with her hundred
times as many people and her nearly
fifty times as great an area-the priest
turned and extended his gold crucitix
to Captain Seferovich, who kissed 1t
reverently.
When the holy water had been
sprinkled and the ceremony was at an
end champagne corks began 70 pop. and
a cake that would have been the envy
of a bakers heart was cut. IL was
decorated with the Montenegrin coat
of-arms and the flags of the Allies. II
seemed shame to stab it to death with
silver table knife.
A bandit right out of Viennese opera
passed cigarettes. He was d. Tarana,
he said, but none of the friends he has
made in America would have known
him, for he wore a Montenegrin cos
tume-a red jacket loaded with gold
braid, a Roman-striped silk sash with
piratical revolver stuck in il, baggy
blue breeches and soft black knee boots.
On his head was blue cap with a red

Information reaching this country
however. indicates that these eondi,,

day"
