The Undsrpaid Federal Judge.

In a sensible article copied on this
pase from the POst- ErPress Of Rochester
concerning the salaries Of the Federal
Judges that newspaper asks: Why,
then. are they 1.-THE peoplel unwilling
TO pay reasonable salaries? Are they
Justified in demanding good work for
poor payg"
Only an inconsiderable number Of the
people Of the United States have been
aware Of the inadequacy Of the salaries
paid TO our Federal Judges. There has
not been sufficient discussion Of the
subject 10 promote general knowledge.
The people Of he country are not mig
gardly in such matters. The failure
has rested entirely with the people
representatives in Congress. These
representatives, year after year, have
voted millions IN river and harbOr
bills, and MANY a Gna@a Craak hes -
ceived its hundreds ol thousands. :,
has been the {! sliOn 10 say that many
Of these millions have been wasted that
they were voted for no other purpose
than to strengthen members Of the
House Of Representatives and others
with their constituencies. We have
no evidence that such il the fact. and
We do not care 20 believe IL. We
thoroughly believe. though, that the
American people, had their attention
been directed In the matter would
have insisted that many an item in the
numerous river and harbor bills should
b. lopped oi and the money saved given
TO our Federal Judges 20 that they might
receive salaries commensurate with their
abilities and responsibilities.
The ball calling for an increase in the
salaries Of the Federal Judges should
be passed UNANIMOUSLY. Our Federal
Judges deserve this remunerH:ive rec
ognitiOn. and the people will heartily in
dOrse the action Of their representatives
in repairing prolonged oversight.
