Initial Victory for Club Merger

o the lawyer as we'll as the layman the
Of the Wcstmoreand and Com
monwealth Clubs whose merger is opposed
by minority members, presents curious and
interesting phases The point of law has
heen ably, il not finally, covered by Judge
Rhea, Of the State Corporation Commission
before which tribunal the second legal bat
tie has just been concluded. That point
was on the disputed right of merger of two
nonstock corporations, which right was sus
tanned by Judge Rhea, Commissioner Adams
concurring, and missioner Forward not
sitting. ii the commission be upheld in the
higher courts the merger will become cf-
fecti1c, in accord with the wishes of two
thirds of both organizations. But before
that can cyentuate, if it ever does, the whole
controversy must be threshed out in the
Virginia Supreme Court OF Appeals, to which
opponents of the merger have declared they
would carry it in event OF defeat before
the State Corporation Commission.
For the layman the case has an inter
csting aspect because OF the numerous dis
qualifications of judges who have been or
may be called to sit in judgment upon it.
In the first legal battle all the judges of
The city courts were disqualified by reason
of their membership in the Westmoreland

But in tho dreams Of men;

And it's Today again.
We plan Tomorrow's mead OF hope
And build our castles grand,

How futile tits, but still
Along that same blind road we go,
hooking our fortunes TO and fro,
And stumbling up the hill.
Tomorrow! There our treasures rust
And roses turn to ash!
Putting our faith in simple trust,

And notes-of-hand for cash.
My yesterdays are laid away
Beneath the crumbling mould;
Tomorrow never comes-but say.
There is Eternity in Today
And all that it can hold.

Increase the Mayor's Salary

NYIllEN the present system of municipal
w government was in the making The
Times Dispatch was an insistent and con-
sistent advocate OF salaries that would com
mand the very best specialized talent Rich
mond could secure. The Council then was
not swerved from its belief that proper men
could be secured for $1,000 the year. Re-
Gently The Times Dispatch renewed its
plea, supporting the Mayors contention,
that tho figures would have to he raised
if competent department heads were to he
retained and big calibered man secured
to succeed to the vacancy in the Depart
mcnt Of Public Utilities. An ordinance pro-
viding for the payment OF salaries Of $500
the year has been approved by the Common
Council and unqucstionably it will be APP
proved by the Board OF Aldermen
This Is as il should be, and the Council
is felicitated on its wise action for Rich
mond's good. But what of the Mayor? Is
his salary to remain at $4,000 tho year.
when six Of his subordinates draw salaries
$500 in excess of what is paid to the city's
executive head? That would indeed be :;
curious and unjust situation. The Mayor,
OF course, could not move for an increase
in his own salary when he sought adequate
payment for his subordinates. But the sal
airy attaching to the mayoralty is ptifully
small, and il should be increased common
surately with the dignity and duties of the
position. 1t is the central Office on which
the whole system Of city government
swings the hub of the municipal wheel
AS the Office has been conducted by the in
cumbent, it is easily a $4,000 year job.
Certainly ii should carry with it a monetary
reward equal to that of the department
heads. Richmond is no longer village
