BRANDON SPEAKS UP.
Opposed to Increasing Salary of stats
Officers.

S. FL. Brandon Of Butler county
member of the house Of representatives
who is in Topeka for a few days. de-
clared this morning that he was OPP
posed to any increase in the pay for
justices of the supreme court or other
state officers, to be rushed through dur
ing the first week of the session in
order to help the incoming state Of
ficers-
II am opposed to this system of do
ing business, and I don't care who
knows it., says Mr.. Brandon. II sup
pose it is not the popular way for me
to talk. but I have a way Of saying
things when I think they ought to be
said I shall fight any attempt to in
crease salaries, especially for the bene-
fit of officials who will take Office the
week following the beginning of the
session. These officers were elected
with full knowledge of the salary
paid, and they didn't have to run il
they didn't want to. 1t seems to me
that a justice of the supreme court on
a salary of $4,000 a year ought, with
moderate economy to be able to save
enough out of his salary to give him
competence for old. age 7 believe I
could do it. If any of the justices don't
want their Jobs at the present pay, ]
think we can get able men to fill their
places. I have the greatest respect for
our supreme court; / think 1t Is COM
posed of able men, but there are 9th ef
men Just as able and competent, who
would be glad to take the Office
4 am opposed to the increase OF
salaries on general principles. / don't
believe 1t would be a good thing to
start anything of the sort. because we
can hire good men at the present rate,
and If we should once start In. we
would have to increase the pay of every
employe Of the state, high and low.
