LONDON Jan. 25. The heavy toll
of the lawyers is the text for many
complaints in these days Vhen econ
omy is being largely practiced by the
rich and urgently preached to the
poor. Wherever members of the leg
al profession are employed by the
government in positions invoking
professional practice their financial
rewards are far beyond tho scale of
those received by other government
officials- however difficult dangerous
or brilliant may be the service of the
less fortunate brinches of officialdom.
The three highest legal officials of
the government and a considerable
body of judges draw larger salaries
than the Prime Minister of Creat
Britain.; The highest officers of the
navy and army whose duties often in-
volve physical hardships and the
risk of death are poorly paid in com-
parison with those who represent the
government In the courts. Today the
people are beginning to ask why this
should be and members of the de-
mocracy as welfr as laboring men .are
asking- the .question insistently. It
has become a burning topic with the
Democratic organs of the press. Why
should the Lord.. Chancellor -vhose
duties arc largely ornamental be paid
more than five times the stipend Ad

The office of Lord Chancellor is
the most shining target for attack.
That office is now costing the gov-
ernment $125000: a year. It com
mands a. salary of $50000 and a pen
sion of $250tfO. Lord Buckmaster is
drawing the salary and three living

of thQ. governor of the1 state.
" The government-will pay the ox-
pense of erecting the houses.
Lord Buckmaster has sat on the
Woolsack in the House of lords a
little more than one year. Current
gossip among politicians has it that
he Is keeping the woolsack warm for
Mr. Asquith who according to be-
lief will succeed thereto when the
war has ended. A Prime Minister
who conducts the cabinet through a
great European war hardly could he
grudged any reward entailing dignity
ease and a good income. Lord Buck-
matster is fifty-four years old and
before his elevation (for elevation Is
the only word English writers con-
sider commensurate with the pro-
cess of raising a statesman to the
keepership of the Great Seal and the
King's conscience) he was not popu-
larly rated as one of the greatest
lights of the British bar. If the un-.
derstanding for the reversion of the
office to Mr. Asquith be true Lord
Buckmaster may enjoy a long life
with an assured income of $25000 for
comparatively brief services. .
Even more lucrative than the dig-
nity of the Lord Chancellorship are
the posts of Attorney General and
Solicitor. General. These Law Offi-
cers as they are called have been
paid salaries of $35000 and $30000
respectively. But their duties in-
clude practice in the courts and for
court appearances they receive fees.
so that the salaries have been re-
garded as retainers. During the fis-
cal year 1913-14 the Attorney Gener-
al cost tho government about $90-
000 for salary and fees and the So-
licitor General about $95000. Sir
Rufus Isaacs now Chief Justice who
visited the United States last summer
as one of the committee to arrange
the Anglo-French loan was Attorney
General part of that year and Sir
John Simon now Home Secretary
part-of the year. Sir John Simon
was Solicitor General part of that
year and Sir Stanley Buckmaster
(now Lord Chancellor) part of the
year;
During the year mentioned Sir John
Simon's receipts from the govern-
ment for his cervicea were in
American moneyjust about one hun-
dred thousand dollars. This was a
record year and the average for the
preceding ten yc-3 was much lower.
