ào that I can, as a practicing attorney, and a m-rher of the legislature, speak on a subject khich I think, is perhaps being looked upon by the public, even, in the

the greatest single force for stability that we have ever faced.^. I know it is a very popular thing tjoda y to r sej. an d call down the wrath of the legislature and the' people upon the judges, but k^.^ he fact is, that they are bo'^ und! /'r (^) ..y'kvlrw r G E N E R A L A S S E 51B L Y

laws by the Constitution, and almost withèut exception/

with rare exception, they do a very tremendous job. The news media kakes deliiht in talking about the judge who is corruptz the judgee who pe^ :) rhaps' has short hourse but there are thousands of judges, just like there are thousands of legislat^ ' ures who s 'pen d hour aft er hour and : day àfier day pondezing o'ver' decisions, decis'ions which ' effect thb lives of you an'd me and our neighbors. The fac is that to bind our hands, to tie a situation io tie c'ost of living as far as judicial increases really is fo'lly.' Judges have a c'ertain,rvand rightfully so, a'certain exhaulted position in our society. Its unfortunate but when a judge abused ik and brings discredit when a lawyer ' (^) abuses his tru'stg he brings discredit upon the'entire profession. A bill like this, however, is not in the best interest of'the people, even if the people were to be lieve it so. I submit that this legislature' is fes'pon- sive to the peopble. Whenever we a'llow a judge's judicial ' '^. increase, we answer to the people shortiy therea-fter. I think in our great wisdom', we can determin'e what district, what judges. what classification should be reA'mhursed..

I don't think this legislakion' is unreasonable. I think it is a step in t%e right direction. I think public con*idence demands thai we do sometking to limit some of t e'xtraordinary increas'es that we have' confronted ourself and the public with in the past few years and I again, would elude to the fact that the percent:ges that we are c'onsidering even based upon what you'have indicated to us a're not unreasonable', and I do not think that they would instiEute pressure upoh us to raise'them to these maximums.e W.
