Judges Expense LatD
viii Help Courts

A bill that was recently passed by
both houses of the general assembly
allows district judges and court re-
porters their expenses while attending
court away from home. The detailed
provisions of the law are not known
by the judges and reporters OF TINS
district, but it is believed to be that 1t
provides for the state paying the ex-
penses of judges UP to- 5000 year 1t
also provides for the payment of re-
porterS' expenses up to $500 year.
but in this case it is understood, the
county in which the reporter works
pays the expenses. In both cases the
judges and reporters are to furnish an
itemized statement at stated periods.
The law will have the effect of in
creasing the pay of the district judges

lengthening court terms in some dis

some judges to hasten thru the terms

TONERS say this practice, if it could be

in smaller districts, such as this, the

District Judges are undoubtedly right
in their contention that their salary Of

the authority and scope of their offices
or the labor it involves. and is much
less than the yearly fees of first rate
