Higher Judicial Salaries

The passage by congress Of bill raising the
salaries of federal judges should receive the APP
prova Of all right thinking persons. 1t is hard
to conceive why anyone should consider economy at
the expense of impartial justice. 1t frequently
happens that a judge is appointed to his office
because of particularly splendid work attor-
ney and the appointment is not so much an honor
as the extending to such a man the opportunity for
higher service of mankind The difficulty is that
an attorney making up to $4,000 year in fees
cannot very we'll give up his private practice to
take a Job paying $4,000 1t is out of all reason.
Thus the judiciary loses who would not only
be a great credit in any capacity because Of their
splendid characters.
II is manfestly unreasonable to expect that a
man can be hired for $4,000 who will be good
as the man must pay $4,000 for, and the
salaries we have been paying the higher Judges in
the federal courts have been far inadequate. The
raises just voted and which will without question
receive the presidents approval, are even too
small but are, presumably, the best that congress
will consider at this time.
Judge should be able to concentrate his whole
he should be financially out of reach of those who
would coerce him by that means and if Judge is
poorly paid it is simply placing enormous tempta-
tion in his way. He may for time successfully
repulse the thought Of such coercion but if the
financial pressure of his affairs is heavy
enough there is the possibility that he will fall a
victim to the temptation High salaries paid TO
Judges are not wasteful. On the other hand they
constitute true economy and a potent force
for complete justice
