Show ! Featlm Plucked, Without Squawk ! It is proposed to raise the salaries of the Superior Court j I judges of San Francisco. Los Angeles and Alameda coun- ! ' ties, of California', from $7,000 to $12,0000. Maybe, it ought i ' to be done. At any rate, the state and the three counties' I bar associations say so and the argument presented for it is uf Herculean strength, to wit : ! "Half the salaries will be paid by the state and only half by the county. And the taxpayers will never know the dif- ! ference." , . , . , I How can anyone reasonably oppose a process which takes I , money from the taxpayer without his knowing it? One great ! embarrassment of the usual method of collecting tax money is that the taxpayer feels it and yells. There certainly is 1 i novelty and charm in a plan which choloforms the taxpayer '" wlfcgoirrg-throtth- his pockets. - |
