BEFORE the new Jury Commissioners
some member of the Legislature has
come to the conclusion that the salary
fixed by the law is too high and has in
troduced bill reducing the pay in sec
ond class counties from $3.50 to $3.50 per
year. The first figure is not necessarily
what has to be paid as the law provides
that the sum shall not exceed that
amount, the Justice of the Supreme
Court to have the fixing of the salary.
So far as actual work is concerned the
labor is not very heavy. The Commits
sioners must make up two lists, one for
grand jurors, the other for petit jurors
and as choice is made from them the va
can't space must be filled and record
must be kept SO that the juror drawn
may not be called upon to serve for a
year. So, that after the first work of
preparing the lists it is comparatively
easy. This year there will be two terms
of court for the Commissioners to draw
juries. The terms of office of Sheriffs
will expire in December, and the law re-
quires Commissioner to be of different
political faith from the Sheriff there will
probably be changes in several of
the counties, SO that the rate of $3.50 per
year for the nine or ten months in the
Office does seem rather high. There has
been some speculation on how the
change could be made in case the Sheriff
to be elected in November should be of
a different political faith from the official
now in power, but the law provides for
this by stating that the Chancellor may
remove any of his appointees at his
pleasure, therefore if we should elect a
Republican Sheriff in Burlington county
next November, as we expect to, the
Chancellor would be empowered to APP
point Democratic Commissioner.

For the past three years there has
been discussion and legislation on the
price to be paid printers for legal adver-
Using. And the question is again being
agitated. Formerly it was the custom
to advertise legal sales five times, but
the lawyers could not stand the printers
having anything like that with the adj
vanced cost of advertising, SO they Sc
cured the passage of an act cutting the
length of time the advertisement should
be printed to four insertions. There is
no more justice in the legislature fixing
a price for legal advertising than there
is for its arranging the price of meat or
coal or any other commodity. The law
yers are very quick to find fault at the
amount they are required to spend for
properly advertising the matters that
should be given publicity, but the first
instance is yet to be recorded where they
have vigorously commended for measures
that would restrict them in charging for
the work they do. In the Orphans court

and the lawyers, with extended hands
and uplifted eyes, speak feelingly on the
great expense their clients are put to be-
cause of the iniquitous charges for adj
vertising, vet to have the counsel fee in
any estate, no matter how small it may
be, placed at less than $50, is an out
rageous offence. There should be rate
fixed by law whereby newspapers, hun
CRY for business, cannot cut each Others
threats, and that rate should be the
same that is charged the individual for
his work. Simply because a lawyer
wants the rate cut down should not enter
into the discussion. The printer should
be paid fair compensation for his SER
vices and even then he would not be in
it with some of the fees some of the
legal talent squeeze from those who
come within their scope.

The first decision under the provisions
of the ''seven sisters corporation laws

handed down Saturday by the public
utilities commissioners, when they re-
fused to approve the merger of the
American Mailing Company and the
American Malt Corporation into single
corporation with capital of 5000, 600.
The refusal to approve appears to be sus-
tanned upon the facts stated, which are
that the former company has tangible
assets estimated at 1924, 900 while the
malt company has comparatively no as

years ago the shad fishing industry fell
off to such an extent that it hardly paid
the fishermen to operate their big seins
Then the government began the artificial
