Hon. T.. p. WALToN Your correspond
ent " w, thinks the State will be " dis
graced II the present Legislature does not
raise the salaries Of the Judges OF the Su-
q preme Coart. | wonder what he will think
of the Honorable Legislature if they don't
raise their own pay. There are several mem
bers in both branches competent to cit on the
Supreme Court bench, industriously at work
for two dollars per day, while the Judges OF
= the court are receiving about six dollars for
= every working day in the year, and the d.
; yieson Of their labor does not require them
TO be holding courts more than about one
half Of the time.
ltis no time to raise permanent salaries 70
conform to the present extravsgant prices OF
E importations or produce. The price OF i'm
ported or domestic articles will soon 20 down
but salaries never.
: The policy OF the State has ever been
against high salaries, and there is no good
reason why ut this time of high taxation that
policy should be departed from. No man Is
, compelled to accept office either in or out Of
the Legislature, and there are always to be
found plenty Of competent men for all the
offices, therefore, do not see the e disgrace ="
suggested by your correspondent
, The salaries of all the State officers stand
on the statute book as before the rebel
lion. A few have been paid for extra servi-
ces caused by the war, but no salary has
been permanently raised. The business OF
the urts, learn from good authority, has
! diminished since many of our citizens have
, enlisted into the service, 30 that the old mum
Der Of five judges could we'll perform the du-
ties
While so many Of our towns are struggling
to raise the necessary 'unds to fill their quota
, in the military service, the Legislature shouia
, guard against unnecessary expense to increase
The taxes OF the State. r.
