Its summarized conclusions are j
that tin* British iron and steel in-
industry has declined relatively to
|that of other countries; that,
though British exports to British
colonies have increased,the eollo
nial market is increasing in much
larger ratio, and that foreign
countries have a growing portion
of the colonial trade; that British
manufacturers and workmen do

In *-|making of the move to pay

which was is noted al tin* slate

says :
The same argument that is used
in boosting fora bet ter salary for

with equal force in claiming tiiat

more for whnt they make, else wo
shall not bo able to keep oui best
fanners in the place. Many of
them are finding that they can
make more in «omo other line of
endeavor and in consequence are
deserting the farm. If the state
►hall raise tin* price of district
judge’s pay, to the point where it
judge can’t find anything else that
lie can draw bettor pay from, it
should have the same considers*
tion for her farmeis The state
is now paying $tr>7,5<Ht for dis

is can she pay 9111.1,000 and get
twice as good service. In other
words, are the district judges wo

we could get if wo would pay
twice as much more. Wo trow
not. We opine that we have an
average set of judicial minds on
these places now and since they
knew* what they wore to get be-
fore they usked for the place, it is
evident that they thought they
wore doing the best thing for
themselves they could. If the
office lias given them better pres-
tige and they now find they ran

them is no penalty attnehed to
tendering a resignation. And the

with which to fill any vacancy
