Some of the Georgia solons are MAX

vice promptly render an expense ac-
count of $40. Mr. Davis, chairman of

der the law no expense bill is allowed

stated in the committee that members

to inspect that institution, the street
car fare to which is cents each way,
had turned IN expense accounts of $50.
The discussion in the committee dis
closed the fact that some of the mem

have ANIMALS, turn in bills for railroad
fare and members who travel on free
passes issued to them as legislators
feel that they have right to collect
railroad fare from the state also.

Low SALARIES in GEORGIA.

The recent difficulty that has been
met in filing the vacancy on the Su-
preme Bench has served to emphasize
anew the inadequate salary that is paid
to judges of this court. The man of
independent means can accept such an
appointment fer the honor that is in it,
but the man whose income is his sala-
ry must make great personal sacrifice.
Any lawyer whose attainments make
him worthy of place on the Supreme
Bench can make much more than
So 900 year in the practice of his pro-
fession.
This is equally true, or perhaps even
in greater degree, with reference to
judges of the superior court who re-
ceiye only $4,000 salary, out of which
they must not only maintain their
homes and family, but must pay large
travelling expenses in attending the
various terms of court in the several
counties in their circuit; or else must
place themselves under obligations, or
subject themselves tqd criticism by ac-
cepting free traz tation or free
board from railroad Bcompanies and
others who are likely to have cases for
trial before them.
The governors salary in Georgia is
likewise too low. Men who occupy
the governors chair or the Supreme Or
Superior Court Bench have to main
tain a social station in keeping with
their official dignity, and state has no
I right to ask public service of her citi-
zens that carries with it the necessity
for social scale of living that the sal
airy will not allow.
Low salaries are not economy. The
state wants the services of her best
men; but she cannot expect to COM
mand them when she offers to pay less
than any corporation would pay for
the same talent, and much less than
successful lawyers can make in the or
binary practice of their profession. -
