judges more, also,
Mr.. Clark of Bennington, said he could recol-
lect when the salary of chief Justice was only one
thousand dollars per year, and that Mr. Skinner
laid up money when he was Judge that the ten
dency was to raise salaries-never reduce them
He never knew Oft single salary ever being reduced
Men would live and pay out money according as
they received it. Some people were worse OF
with large salary than small one. He wanted
the Judges, who we've fulfilling their duties WELL
be had no doubt, to live. The wise ard good of
all ages had died poor, and he presumed they al
ways would.
MIR. Cushman said that we ought not to raise
salaries on account of fluctuations in the market
price Of potatoes. We could not do it if we
would.
Mr.. Stevens said he thought $4,000 now was
not more than $500 was when the salaries were
raised to that sum, but he thought TIE wrong was
committed then. Some of our judges had died
rich, but they did not make money by saving their
salaries, but by fortunate investments in lands and
such like operations.
