Governor Sproul has lost signing the act of the Legislature in. creasing the salaries of the Judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts, Not- withstanding the decision [of preme Court rendered some years ago by one of the members of that body who had not been elected by the people but who was serving tempora appointment by the Governor age man or woman who r Constitution of Pennsylvania convinced that to increase or the salaries of Judges daring terms is a violation of the Constitution. This in itselt should have been suffi. cient reason for the veto of this salary grab by Governor Sproul, and it is to be regretted ‘that he did position, Aside from the constitutional prohibi. tion, which seems to be'one of the forms of prohibition that the Governor does not believe in, there are other reasons why this and all other salary grabs should be halted at this time. The Governor and all of his friends must ad, mit that manufacturers and business men in otber lines, including railroad heads and heads of all public service corpor- ations, believe that the business of the country is suffering iargely because of war-time costs, and that there must be a reduction in wages of workers before business depression will end. The gov- ernor and the members of the legislature set a very bad example and are doing much to create unrest and dissatisfac tion among the workers of this State by increasing the salaries of already well paid public officials, “The Record” urged this upon the Governor and the Legislature before the Judges’ salary grab was made a law ; but it seems to have had no effect upon them. Such action contributes more to ‘the general unrest thau the acts of indi. viduals who do not occupy public places. Agitators, breeders of unrest, will be quick to seize upon suchlacts of public officials as an excuse to continue their campaigns intended to prevent the workers of the cquatry accepting the situation being urged upon them every- where, But who, in Pennsylvania, cares what is done with the public money ? no time the Su- ly 1e eads ri upon , the aver. the '" will be decrease their not take this THE DEATH RECORD. | } SHuky.—Mrs. Daniel Shuey passed jaway at her home at Pleasant Gap on Saturday night at 8:30 o'clock.
