Has No Right.

1.-The federal government has no con-
stitutional right to supervise, direct or
interfere with the transaction of ordin-
airy business by the people of the sew
eral states, unless such business re-
lates directly, and not incidentally, to
interstate commerce, and such has
been the decision of the supreme court
of the United States"
The attorney general discusses this
subject at some length, quoting freely
from the decisions of the courts sus-
tanning his position, and in conclusion
says:
IN all cases where the facts pre-
sented to the attorney general capable
of legal proof have established salts
factorily, such an agreement or COM
bination in restraint of interstate COM
merce as is contemplated by the Sher-
man act, legal proceedings have been
taken in the name of the United
States, either to dissolve the combina-
ton or to punish the offenders by in
dictment.'
On the subject of judicial salaries the
attorney general says: 1T is not an
uncommon thing to find a lawyer ap-
pearing before the United States courts
in a case where his fee for one argu-
ment exceeds the annual salary of the
judge.
EdVOIS 4uCI6dSS OI 6dldT1SS.
THE judges of the United States su-
preme court and the circuit and dis
trict courts are inadequately compen-
stated. The same is true of those of
the court of claims. The courts of the
United States are everywhere in the
civilized world held in the very high
est repute. yet their judges are paid
smaller salaries than are allowed by
the states to state judges in very
many jurisdictions. / believe that an
increase of the salary of the chief JUS
tice and associate justices of the SUI
preme court to $4,000 a year, of the
circuit court judges to $4,000, and the
district judges to $500 a year would
be a simple measure of justice and ap-
proved by every just minded citizen"
Affairs In Alaska.
On the subject of Alaska the attorney
general says: THE administration of
affairs in Alaska, and especially the adj
ministration of justice through the
courts and court officers is not salts
factory. The criminal business of
Alaska has doubled within the year.
and the civil business has multiplied
four times over. Complaints of the in
adequacy of the provision established
for maintaining law and order and en-
forcing the criminal statutes are uni
versal. AT present there is only one
United States judge, one marshal and
one district attorney for this whole
vast extent of territory, who are not
able to dispose of one-tenth of the bust
mes presented"
He urges upon congress the necessity
of providing for the appointment of an
additional district judge, an additional
United State district attorney and
marshal. and chat the territory be di-
sx-%
attorney or the district attorneys, if
two are provided, be fixed at $4,000 a
year.

Department of Justice Often Appeal

States, Under Sherman Act.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Attorney Cen
eral Griggs, in his annual report to
congress reviews the work of the de-
partment of justice during the year.
and then says that application is oc-
casionally made TO tine department to
have legal proceedings brought in the
name of the United States against cor
porations or combinations of compan-
les that are alleged TO be engaged in
forming or maintaining monopolies or
competition.
Such actions" the attorney gen.
eral says, can be maintained only
when the offense comes within the
scope of the federal statute. The only
federal law against combinations in re-
straint of trade is contained in the So
called Sherman act of July 2 1890.
1T will be observed that this stat
ute is directed only against combina-
tions or monopolies in restraint of
trade or commerce among the several
states or with foreign nations. 1t does
