The Pay of Judges.

Soup Is Good For You.

BY Arthur Brisbane

~ONGRESS should not neglect
at this session the question Of
decent pay for federal judges.
All Of the judges in the national SER
vice, are underpaid. For justices
on the supreme bench and all
through the federal judicial service,
the shamefully inadequate pay is a
disgrace TO the richest nation in
the world.
1t is impossible Of course for re
judges to make any campaign on
their own behalf. But the country
that depends upon them for justice
and protection should pay them at
least enough to live decently.
