Committee Printing the expedency of printing FIVE
thousand extra copies of the report which accompanies
this bill.
He remarked that il was probably necessary that he
should state to the House the which induced the
committee TO authorize him to submit this motion The
extraordinary increase in the expenditures of the Judicial
y since the organization of the Government the pre-
sent time had led the committee TO the cases
which had produced this result The investigation was
necessarily one of detail and although all the items were
not speehed In the report sufficient number were pre-
sented 70 induce the House to take immediate legislative
action on the subject.
He would state that in the first year the expenses of the
judiciary were $4,000; in 1900 Sly 600; in 1880
S204 000 in 1910, 1878 695; in 1919 S469 233. in
1850 1856 4S4. The population of this country had in
creased at the rate Of three hundred and per
cent while the expenses of the judiciary of the country
had increased at the rate Of thousand hundred
and thiry-seyen per cent during that period of time
The increase of population not the exact rule by
which the expenses of the judiciary might be measured
but was regarded mode of investigating the wealth
and resources of the country 1t the worst mode
that could be adopted for ascertaning what the judicial ex
penses should be- and upon the whole perhaps was
good means could have been adopted for ascer-
tanning as near as might be- the amount that should be
expended for the judiciary.
In the northern district of New York the expenses of
the Judiciary independent of the salaries paid to Judges
since the year 1880 the present time had been
ed from the sum of $3.50 900 to the of 1923 975about
twelve times great amount required ten years
ago. In Massachusetts, for similar period of tme-ten
yearshe expenses incurred had increased from So $50
TO 49,, 72S about ten times great they were
years ago This independent of the salary paid to
judges Many Of the which had led to this extra
ordinary increase set forth in the report which he
had submitted, and many would probably be made
manifest by an answer to the inteogatores which had
been addressed by resolution of the House to the Sc
cretary of the Interior. On such important subject
the House should be provided with full supply Of the
report and it paper which would find wide circu-
laton throughout the whole country.
The motion agreed to-
The House journed.
