A QUESTION OF PRICE
The following is taken from
the Union News.
The Baltimore Sun asks the
question, “When a stenographer
can make more money than a
judge is paid for his services,
will legal talent and equipment
long seek the bench?” And the
Union News answers, “For
ever.” And our reason for the
reply is that good stenographers
are scarcer than good lawyers.
The law of supply and demand,
one of nature's immutable rules
and regulations for the conduct
of the universe, applies in this
case, just as in all others—just
as the plethora of gold is making
higher prices in all parts of the
earth. The Sun seventeen years
ago, when it* was under different
management, denied the sound
ness of the quantitive theory,
but has since admitted !it to be
correct; we wish .to warn it
against departing from the
moorings again, for the quanti
tive theory, is good groupd to
ancher in. ‘ State {Senator-elect
William J.* Ogden will confirm
this to the gun.
The Sure might have gone
much further in its unconscious
illustration •of the eternal rela-i
tion between the amount of a
commodity for sale and the need
or desire of the purchasing public
for that commodity. It might
have asked, “When a notorious
dancer can make more money
than the President of the United
States is paid for his services,
will competent and able men
seek the White House? And
had it done so the Union News
would have still made the an
swer. “Forever.” For such
woman, fortunately for them
and the world, are much scarcer
than men perfectly competent to
make excellent Presidents.
Of course, the Sun's comment
is in connection with the resig
nation of Chief Judge Henry
Harlan from the Supreme Bench
of Baltimore city to take a place
with a big trust company. It is
rumored.that he is giving up a
salary of five thousand a year to
accept one of fifteen thousand.
As Wu Ting Fang said, “That
was a pretty loud call,” and no
body can blame Judge Harlan
for accepting it. Judge Harlan
ha* served with ability; we
cheerfully concede this, not only
because it is true, but because it
adds point to our argument, but
the fact remains that there are
in Baltimore dozens of lawyers,
all of greater prominence and
ability than Henry D. Harlan
was when he was appointed to
the bench, who are perfectly
willing to take up the ermine that
he has laid down. Skilled law
yers are plentiful nowadays; in
New York city, it is said you can
get one to run on an errand for
twenty-five cents and carfare.
Had Judge Harlan never gone
on the bench it is just possible
that he would not have been
sought out by a big corporation.
His chums, James P. Gorter and
H. Arthur Stump, who began
life and the practice of law about
the same time with him, all in
“Billy” Porter’s rookery on St.
Paul street, never lost the desire
to be Judge, finally attained the
position, and are still satisfied
with it. Many of our best
Judges have been men who
could not make a living practic
ticing law in a competitive field
—in fact, the mone/'-making
lawyer is not the ideal man for
Judge by any means. .
This question of hi£h salaries
has an interest for others
than the lawyers. The public,
which foots the bill, has a big
stake in it, and the. taxpayers
know from long experience that
they can get perfectly competent
men at the prices now offered.
When Judge Harlan was appoint
ed to the bench he was heartily
congratulated upon his good for
tune, although the salary was
then considerably less than he
has been receiving in recent
years. And it does not detract
from the good record he has
made to recall that his appoint
ment was purely political, made
through the influence of the late
Stevenson Archer, and was, it
was rumored, held back for some i
time until the young jurist had
reached the Constitutional age of
thirty years.
The Union News will venture ;
to wager that a skilled lawyer
can be found who will take the j
new judgeship in the county at <
three thousand six hundred a 1
year. Take the salary of a ]
Judge as a dividing line, and it t
be found that more lawyers are
receiving less than there are *
earning more. , {

I hereby certify that I have examined
the books and accounts of Frederick
Sasscer, Treasurer of the School Board,
and find the ame to be correct and as
stated in the above report for year end
ing August 1, 1913.
Henry St. J. L. Briscoe.
To the Honorable School Board :
The figuresshow extensiveooerations
during the past scholastic year. Few*
persons realize the magnitude of our l
present school system, or comprehend
its needs. As predicted in my last re
port. in consequence of the increase in
teachers’ salaries by Act of the Legis
lature our ordinary resources proved
to be inadequate, and except for the
extia appropriation of S7OOI by the
County Commissioners lor salaries the ;
Board would Lmve been forced to short-1
en the school term. The white teach- \
ers received last year the sum of j
$70,902.50, an increase of $13,704.91 over j
that of the previous year. The pay- .
nient of salaries monthly' b?s necessitat- j
ed an increased expenditure for pos- j
tage,aud requires the regul tr services of I
a clerk. We spent for colored schools:
last year $9,429.68, an increase for imvu
tenance of $819.71.
On account of the many large build
iugs the cost for fuel has largely in
creased, amounting last year to $4169.81
. 7 \
and the incidental account which rep
resents the cost of janitors’ fees and
] other expenses necessary’ for the care |
of the school property may appear
j large, but it seems impossible to reduce
these costs. There are now 12 large
buildings having furna es and for which
Use services of janitors are almost con
stantly needed and 64 smaller schools.
We are dependent upon the local trus
tees for these expeditures and the bills
are paid upon their endorsement.
Two new schools were erected last year,
viz: the brick building at Bowie and
the new Wil is school near Laurel; the
total amount of expenditure under the
head of new buildings being $6774.95.
I have been anxious for several years
that a separate levy be made for the
coupons and for the sinking funds of
the school bonds. This indebtedness
was not created by the action of the
School Board, and should be provided
for separately so that it will not be pay
able out (*' the funds provided for the
maintenance of schools. Our available
resources vary from year to year, aud
this fluctuation makes it almost impos
sible to avoid debt unless we carry a
surplus in the treasury .
The County Commissioners deserve
the gratitude of the School Board for
the liquidation in part of our back in
debtedness, and, 1 trust, that the remain
ing debt of $5500 may’ soon be paid.
The teachers seemed to be stimulat
ed by tiie increased salaries last year,
and with few exceptions excellent work
was done in the elementary schools and
in the High Schools.'
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERICK SASSCER.
