GEORGIA JUDGES
WILL GET A RAISE
SI,OOO A YEAR THE INCREASE.
IT APPLIES TO SI'PHEME AID SU
PERIOR COl RTS.
Ho Free Tm mpnrlX lon or Frank,,
However, Will He Permitted the
Judges—To Roretre Them Would
Be to Render Tltentnelven Liable
to Impeachment—Supreme Conrt
Jndar, W ill t.et *4. non and Su
perior Cnurl Judge* AILOOfI.
Atlanta, Aug. 9 Georgia judges had
#I,OOO a year added to their salaries to
day by the vote of the House of Rep
resentatives, but they were forbidden
to accept or ride on free passes or to
receive telephone, telegraph and ex
press franks, under penalty of im
peachment.
The House passed by a vote of 121 to
•£ the bill by Senator Comas, which
passed the Senate by a two-thirds ma
jority last year and which provides for
•A Increase from $3,000 to $4,000 in the
salary of Supreme Court judges and an
Increase from $2,000 to *3,000 in the sal
ary of Superior Court judges. The bill
thus received in the House four votes
more than the two-thirds majority
necessary to make it a law.
But the House did not pass the bill
■without conditions. It was provided 111
the bill that hereafter no judge of the
Supreme or Superior courts shall re
ceive for liimself or any member of his
family any free pass from any railroad
or any frank from any telephone, tele
graph or express company upon pain
of impeachment, nor shall any judge
who accepts such favors from this class
of corporations be entitled to receive
the increased salary provided for in the
bill.
Nice Work Got #SOO More.
It was a very pretty piece of parlia
mentary tactics that the salaries were
put at $3,000 and SI,OOO, instead of $2,-
500 and $3,500. An amendment provid
ing that no judge who received such
favors from corporations should be
paid the $3,000 and SI,OOO salaries, as
provided for in the bill, was tacked on
to the anti-free pass amendment at the
instance ot Mr. Slaton of Fulton, when
the anti-free pass amendment, which
was voted on first, was adopted. It.
therefore, fixed the salaries at $3,000
and $4,000, and all amendments for
less amounts, of which there were sev
eral, were thus out of order.
There is no doubt that the House
will stand by the antl-free pass
amendment, tyas largely through
that condition, if not altogether, that
the increased salaries were secured. It
is expected, however, that the Senate
will readily agree to the amendment,
as it can do by a majority of a
Quorum, because the Senate has al
ready cast twenty-one votes In favor
of anil-free pass measure.
Jadgea Will Accept.
It is understood the judges will be
well satisfied to accept the conditions.
Many of them now are inclined not
to accept free passes, but do so in or
der that they may not seem queer or
different from others. There la no
thought that as a rule free passes in
fluence the judges in any way, and the'
particular reason for prohibiting them
from accepting them is to do away
with any bad impression which that
act might make on the public mind.
There was quite a long debate over
the bill, Speaker Morris. Messrs. Felder
of Bibb, Slaton of Fulton. Moses of
Coweta and others urging its passage
and all supporting as well the antl
free pass amendment. The salaries
fixed in the bill are the same as those
that passed the Srnate. As soon as
the Senate concurs in the anti-free
pass amendment, the bill will go to
the Governor for his signature. Alt of
the members front Chatham voted for
the bill.
UUasrer to Senate Amendments.
At the afternoon session, the House
epent most of the time in hearing the
speeches of Gen. Lee and Col. Goode.
It was nearly 5 o'clock, when busi
ness was resumed and the general ap
propriations bill was taken up for ac
tion on the Senate amendment*. The
House, after some little discussion, re
fused to concur In the Senate amend
ments. increasing the appropriation to
the sanitarium from $330,000 to $350.-
000, in reducing the common school
fund from $1,000,000 to $900,000 and In
increasing the state board of health
appropriation from $2,000 to $7,500.
Most of the other minor Senate amend
ments were rejected. To-morrow con
ference committees will be appointed
on these subjects by the House and
Senate and the disagreement will be
on in earnest.
It is a question of which House is
the more stubborn. The appropriations
will likely not be settled until after
midnight Thursday night.
Passed Onej Killed One.
The Senate passed one important
measure and killed another. The first
mentioned was a bill by Messrs. Fel
der Hall and Kilburn of Bibb to al
low the trustees of the State Blind
Academy at Macon to sell the present
buildings and grounds of that insti
tution, located between Orange and
College afreets, for a price not less
than $50,000 and re-invest the proceeds
more suitably to the needs of the
academy. To accomplish this the trus
tees are permitted to suspend opera
tions of the Institution for one year,
If necessary.
The bill uhdeh was killed was by
Senator Smith and provided that no
one should be hereafter licensed to
practice medicine in Georgia. unless
he should previously have spent four
terms of six month each, each term
to come in a separate and distinct
year, in some recognized medical col
lege or university. The bill was not
actually voted down, but so much op
position developed that Senator Smith
himself moved to table it.
The House resolution by Mr. Fields
of Dooly, authorizing a commission
to ths Jamestown exposition, was
adopted. This commission is to con
sist of the Commissioner of Agricul
ture. the state geologist and three citi
zens to be appointed by the Governor.
