The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1909-02-24

In general. the reckless Increase OIL
salaries of public officials Is not com
menlable, but We believe the bill just
passed by the Legislature increasing
the salaries OF the Judges OF the State
Supreme Court Of Appeals a worthy
measure. A man VINO is competent to
serve as Supreme Court Judge ought
to receive n salary IN keeping with the
work performed. The salary as fixed
by the new law is $500.
