Urges Increase
In Salaries for
Federal Judges
House Committee Says
Higher Pay in State Courts
Attracts Best Men
Loyalty Holds Many
Both District and Circuit
Courts Embraced in Scope
Of Measure

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Salares of
Judges of state courts in many locali
ties have been increased more rapidly
than those of Federal judges, with the
result that men of high talent are at
tracted more readily TO the state
benches, according to report to-day
by the House Judiciary Committee re-
commencing bill to increase the sal
aries of all United States District and
Circuit judges.
"lt was shown to the Judiciary Com
mittee that, in recent years, number
CT able and efficient judges were COM
pelled to leave the bench because their
salaries were insufficient to maintain
their families" declared Repres esenta-
tive Steele, of Pennsylvania, in the re-
port. "Many judges remain on the
bench at great financial sacrifice, sim
ply because of their devotion to their
duties and the honor Of their position.
an New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey the salaries of state judges
have increased considerably more than
100 per cent. In Pennsylvania the
Judges of the Supreme Court receive
$4,000 a year and of the Superior
Court $4,000 a year. That state,
with a population Of about 100000, is
paying its judges more than the United
States is paving its judiciary for ad-
ministerlng justice to more than 100
100000 people.
"This situation, which is not con-
fined to the states mentioned, attracts
to the state bench men of the highest
talent and frequently operates to the
detriment of the Federal bench"
The present salary of United States
district judges is $4,000 year and of
circuit judges $1,000 year. The bill
would increase the minimum salary Of
district judges to $4,000 year and
provide graduated increase based
on the population of the district, $500
year being proposed for each 100000
of population in excess of the first
100000, with a maximum of $4,000 a
year. Circuit judges would receive 81,
900 a year more than the district
judges, with the same provision of in
crease up to $11 900 a year.

McAdoo Is Urged to
Delay Rate Increase
Told That Many Shippers Are
Threatened by Commercial
Annihilation."

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Postpone-
ment of the new freight and passenger
rates, or modification to remove injus-
tices and determinations which threat
en- many shippers and industries with
commercial annihilation." was urged
upon Director General McAdoo TO-DAY
at White Sulphur Springs by a delega
ton of the National Association of
Railway and Utilities Commissioners.
To put the new rates into effect with
out revisions "would imperil and en-
danger the national economic solidar-
ity and bring additional hazards in the
conduct of the war" said a petition
presented by the delegation. Mr. McAdoo
was asked either to make state com.
missions his agents in bringing about
necessary readJustments in rates or to
require railroads to submit to the au-
thorlty exercised by state commissions
before government operation started d
IN matters of rate and police regula-
tions.
Mr.. McAdoo was asked to give the
public greater representation on the rail
road administrations staff by the an.
polntment of shippers, consumers or
state commissioners. No specific
changes in the rate schedules were
suggested.
The state commissioners asserted
the ehcct of the order was to make in
ereases IN class rates, ranging from
20 10 500 per cent, passenger rates
from 10 to 800 per cent and commod-
l'y rates from 20 to 500 per cent

Britain's Output of
Shipping in May
Is 1924 Tons
Highest Figure for Amy
Month During the Last
Twelve Months

LONDON, June 6.-Merchant tonnage
completed in the United Kingdom
yards and entered for service during
May, 1913, was 1924 gross tons, the
highest figure for any month during
the last year.
Official figures show the compilations
for May marked an increase in tonnage
over April, 1918. of s5,741 tons. The
next highest figures were 1854 gross
tons in March, 1918.
The total completons for the twelve
months ended May 81. 1913. were L.
406,838 gross tons. The corresponding
figures for the year ended April 80,
1918, were 1.27Q.337.
The Controller General OF Merchant
Shipbulldng says sthe satisfactory out
the whole industry, particularly on the
firms engaged in fitting out vessels.
The average time for fitting out has
been reduced considerably. In one in
stance during May 5,000-ton steamer
was completed for service within nine
teen days of its launching.
Previous Years Work Doubled
Archibald Hurd, writing in "The
Daily Telegraph" says the output of
British tonnage during the twelve
months ended May 81 was almost ex-
actly twice that of the preceding twelve
months. He continues:
"Since the spring of last year the
progress has been consistent and
steady if not swift. 1t has been marked
by no sensational development and
will be marked by none.
"While it is a subject for congratu-
lations that this upward movement
can be recorded, it may be recalled, on
the other hand, that considerably over
year ago it was stated that our re-
made available, would enable us to
build three million tons yearly, OF
twice what has been built in the last
twelve months.
"The truth is that the output OF
three million tons yearly is impos ssible
so long as the present shortage OF
labor continues.
eve have almost reached the point
when ship construction in this coun-
try balances British shipping destruc-
tion by the enemy, but we have arrears
of something approaching 100000
tons to make good.
1t Is understood that changes lr

tracts they take grave risks. They are
called upon to make vast expenditures
of capital for purposes which may
prove unproductive after the war.
They are not to be blamed in these cir
cumstances for asking for prices ana
terms which cover these risks: On the
other hand, when the risk has been
liquidated by proper allowances and
the contract has proved profitable, the
government should take back IN taxes
all profits above a reasonable reward.
"Of course, no one objects to reason
able profits On the contrary, every
one should want, and am sure does
want, business and enterprise to be
rewarded with reasonable, or even
liberal, profits. Prosperity should be
preserved and can be preserved, | be-
lieve, on the basis Of reasonable pro-
| fits"
To Promote Sale of Bonds
The way in which a higher normal
rate of incomes would promote the sale
of Liberty bonds, particularly to per-
sons of big means, was explained as
follows:
~ hope that it will not be necessary
further to increase the interest rate on
scribers to the three Liberty loans ag-
gregated 30,000,000. The people who
Subscribed are impatient of those who
have not. Various plans have been
urged upon me for forcing the. people
to buy Liberty bonds. The man OF
small means who buys a s100 bond
wants his neighbor to do so, too. There
| is popular demand also for high taxes
upon war profits. There is also popu-
lar demand that all the people should
contribute to financing the war.
There should, therefore, be a sub
stantial increase in the normal income
tax rate and higher tax should be
levied upon so-called unearned than on
earned incomes. Income derived from
Liberty bonds would be exempt from
this taxation, and the relation between
income from Liberty bonds and income
from other securities would be read
justed without increasing the rate of
interest on Liberty bonds. 1t would
not tax the patriotic purchasers of
Liberty bonds on their holdings, but
it would weigh heavily upon the shirk-
ers who have not bought them 1t
! would make the return from Liberty
