Concerning Compensation.

IS. With respect to the claim that the
compensation afforded by the office to the
predecessors Of the present auditor was
less than at present, there was no time
when his immediate predecessor did not
receive very much larger compensation
than the salary proposed. and no time
at which the office would have been re-
tanned by him on the salary basis pro-
posed. Prior to this time, when Judge
Cox held the office, the business was
slight, the duties were performed prin-
cipally by the juniors in the office of
Judge Cox. and they constituted no inter-
ference whatever with his large, active
and lucrative business as a practicinR
lawyer.
u. The basis of paying for the work
actually done Is more equitable, fairer
ana IN every way preferable. The
business for number of years has
been constantly and greatly increas-
ing, as will be the case in the future.
universal experience shows that sal
aries prescribed by Congress do not in
crease, and the result of making the
auditor an underpaid officer will be
either to have him proportion the labor
performed to the compensation. with
the consequent congestion of the bust
ness of his office, or else to do a large
amount of work for which he is not
paid.
49, Regulation of the charges is en-
tirely capable of being effected by
other and less Objectionable means.
Conceding that there may be lawyers
subject to timidity which would pre-
vent their excepting, in particular
cases. to a charge or charges thought
capable of regulation by the court upon
the application of the Bar Association
whenever in the opinion of the bench
or bar such action may be necessary.

SEIZURE OF PLATUR|A
BY BRITISH WARSH|PS
Standard Oil Company Steamer

NEW YORK, October 21.-The Stand
ard Oil Company steamer Platuria, fly
| ing the American flag. has been seized
by BRUSH warships off the coast of
Scotland and taken into Stornoway, a
port In the Lewis Islands. according to
Icablegram received here today by the
company from her captain
Inc STANDARD Oil Company has re-
auested the State Department to make
another protest on the seizure Of the
Platuria, which is identical the COM
pany claims with the circumstances at
tending the seizure of the Brindilla.
Steamer Changes Her Flag.
The Platuria, formerly the German
steamer Diamant, changed her name
and flag. under the new American reg
istry law, day or so before sailing
on her last voyage.
The cablegram received from Capt.
raul announced that the vessel had
been seized just west of the Lewis
Islands. She carried a cargo of illu-
minating oil, and was bound for
Aarhun, Denmark.
David T. Warden, manager of the
foreign department of the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey. which
owns the John D. Rockefeller, said to-
day that the company mad lodged
formal complaint with the State De-
partment day or two ago against the
seizure of the vessel.
Pleased With Prompt Response.
IT am glad Uncle Sam has taken
such quick action" he added.
The John D. Rockefeller, according
to Mr. Warden's information, is now
retained at Kirkwall, the Orkney
Islands, where. she was brought by a
British warship some time last week.

Warden said, to the company's agents

Reasons Against Change.

Reasons why the auditors Office
should not be placed on a salary basis
have been prepared by the committee
and attached to its report, as follows:
Il. No court either in England, in
the federal system or the states, it is
believed. adopts salary basis. Why
try it in the District of Columbia con-
trary to the wisdom and practice of
all other jurisdictions?
"2. To adequately fill the Office the
auditor must combine the Qualihca-
tions of a frst-class lawyer and an
expert accountant, no man possessing
which combination of qualifications in
any eminent degree can be secured
for such salary as Congress will at
tach to the office.
"3. The salaries paid the judges fur
nish no criterion of compensation The
lure to acceptance of the judicial Of
ton, making provision for old age
secure, and, secondly, the honor and
social prestige which are supposed to
attach to that office, which Is suffi-
c1ent, in many cases, to induce lawyers
to accept it at great pecuniary sacri-
no such sacrifice can be expected with
respect to the office of the auditor.
Il. 1t is far more important to the pub
lie that the office be filled by man of
high competency and efficiency than that
the work should be done more cheaply
than if a firSt-class man holds it.
IS. The effect of either an incompetent
or OF a mediocre man in the position will
be very greatly to increase the labor of
attorneys. who. Of course, must be paid
Tor their time and service, with the re-
suit that the cost of litigation as a whole
will be increased rather than diminished
and the results obtained less satisfactory
to the parties concerned

tice that the general taxpayer should
be called upon to pay the expenses OF
private disputes. which should be borne
themselves"
In addition to the foregoing objec-
lions which go to the principle of the
proposed legislation is the objection
! that, in the opinion of the committee.
the fixed. arbitrary charges required
by the bill to be made by the auditor
| would greatly increase, in a large num-
Der of cases, the burden imposed upon
| the litigant. The bill provides that the
rates for service fixed therein land no
| other. shall be the fees of the auditors
Office
The rate of compensation is fixed
at S21 per day for the auditor, assistant
auditor and stenographer. The auditor
Is without authority under the Dill TO
waive his fees, but must collect them
and turn them into the Treasury. I'm
der the present system in many worthy
cases involving small amounts fees are
| waived. The committee finds that in
20 per cent of the cases the fee of the
auditor is $40; in more than 30 per
cent, SIS or less: in over 40 per cent.
$50 or less; in over so per cent, $25 or
less. while in less than 20 per cent DO
| than 10 per cent. 500. Under the pro
posed bill the minimum cost would be

into fractions, and 1t is not apparent
from lne Dill lndC lniS WouAu DC >AOiIC.
The bill provides a charge for filing
any paper or exhibit. rs cents" In
great many cases of fduciary account
ing hundreds of vouchers are filed. This
arbitrary charge. made a,t during e. the the
bill, would be required to charge also
s21 a day. would enormously enhance
the burden upon estates. according to
the belief of the committee.
The bill also provides that the hours
of the auditor and his subordinates
shall be the same as the Office hours of
the clerk of the court, that is to say.
from 9 am. to pm. The committee
believes such requirements upon the
auditor would be most annoying to at
torneys who at present are enabled,
through the courtesy of the auditor. to
have hearings many times after
o'clock.
The report concludes with the state
ment that from inquiries made by
members of the committee 1t is believed
that the sentiment of the practitioners
at the bar having business before the
auditor is overwhelmingly adverse to
the enactment of this bill into law.
