The L. s. District Judge in HAWAII
has the jurisdiction of circuit judges
as well as district judges and quite az
much work. II not more. than CORE
spending judges have on the mainland
The salary, therefore. should be that
of circuit judge. namely. 5000. The
L. 5. District Judge OF China receives
$1,000 besides travelling expenses.
The Associate Justices OF the Su-
preme Court who now receive the same
as the L. :. District Judge should have
their salaries raised correspondence.
that is. to $1,000. The salary OF the
Chief Justice correspondingiy would
come to $500.
Formerly the Circuit Judges Of the
First Circuit received $1,000. but under
the Organic Act all receive SSooO IL
has been suggested that the salaries
of those in the first circuit should be
restored to $1,000 but il would seem
better to recommend that all be raised
to $4,000; first. in order to compensate
judges of outside circuits for the dis
advantages of not living in Honolulu.
secondly. because Congress has shown.
as in its action in this very matter
previously. that it does not as a rule
like to discriminate between different
officers of the same rank in the matter
Of salaries and would probably be more
ready TO raise the salaries Of all tn.
circuit judges than of some of them
alone.
Respectfully submitted.
