ON THAINS AND NEWS STANDS. $759 IS Jw GES COSI OF THE OUTSIDE JUDGES WHO COME — TO HELP OUR OVER-WORKED NINE : If our nine superior court judges are overwork ed, how can they find time to take a two months’ vacation? And yet, if they are not overworked, why is it necessary for King county to pay out big sums of tax payers’ money to cover the expenses of outsid¢ judges who come to help out the local jurists? Either there isn’t enough work to keep the nine judges busy, or there is too much work. The humble tax payer may take his choice. He pays the bill anyhow. Thus far this year King county has paid out the sum of $759.48 to visiting and pro tem. jedoms ey ONE CENT salary of a tenth judge.

In King would not apply, because, when one judge Is disqualified, | there are eight others to pick from. However, with two or three ex ceptions, it was the King county bench which invited the visiting judges to come here “to help out” on a crowded calendar, The prize invitation woe extended to Judge Kaufman of Kittitas. He was invited to handle the Crawford suit against the Seattle, Renton & Southern bondholders, in place of Judge Frater, a it whom the lawyers found a slight disqualification. So Judge Kaufman came down, at King count: expen and held court here from January 14 to Feb- fuary 20 for the first session, roiling up a neat /ittie hotel and board bill of $137.50 and railroad fare of $31 Then he came dewn again, and on Match 4 another bill of $67.50 was presented to King county taxpayers.
