ishment of the fee system in the office
of the auditor of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia and providing
instead an annual salary, was unani-
mously passed.
The resolution adopted by the asso-

gruntled litigant; but was an express
sion of the opinion of this association

twice the salary of judge of the said
Supreme Court of the District of Co
lumbia and larger than the salary of
any government official below that OF
"a cabinet officer or of judge Of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
but that the auditor should receive
yearly salary reasonable and proper
tionate to the work done by the said
auditor and suitable to the nature of
the position held by him."
