SALARIES SAME.
Superior Judges Evened Up BY Com
mite in House.

Senator w. ]. Reed was inter-
viewed Friday by Herald reporter
relative to the bill in the senate to
increase the salaries of the supreme
and superior court judges. He said
the senate passed a bill increasing
the salaries Of the supreme court
judges from $4,000 to $4,000; the
salaries of the superior court judges
in cities from $4,000 to $4,50O. and
superior judges in other coruties
from $4,000 to $4,000. "When a
distinction was made between the
city and country superior Judges /
did all in my power to have the same
salary fixed for all superior judges,
as I saw no reason why the city
judge should. get more than the other
county judges"
This bill was then passed to the
judiciary committee of the house and
the salaries of all superior judges
were cut to $4,000 and the supreme
judges to $4,000.
An effort will be made by the ju-
dietary committee to have the senate
concur in the change made by the
house in the bill, but it is uncertain
what action will be taken.
