SALARIES OF JUDGES.
A majority of the Committee on Fees and Salaries reported on the bill [H. R. 506] concerning the salaries of Judges, fixing it at $1,500 a year, recommending its passage.
A minority of the same Committee recommended indefinite postponement.
Mr. SINCLAIR said that the bill is to cut down the salaries of the Judges from what it is now to $1,500. I believe it to be impolitic and unjust to the said Judges, therefore I filed that minority report and move that it be concurred in.
Mr. LINDSAY spoke in favor of the majority report, because a measure of this kind is highly necessary on the subject of fees and salaries.
The majority report was concurred in.
