LONDON. Jan. 15.-Th heavy toll of

NiiiK lsnrrly prsrticed hy the rich, and
urgently r-rrsched to the pool". Wherever
ri"mlvrr of the profession are em-

involving professions! practice their fl

of those received Jiy other government
officials, however difficult, dangerous or
trllllant may be the service , of tho Irs
fortunate branches of officialdom.
The three lilshest local officlala of the
government, and a cunsldcrnhle, body oX
Judges, draw lsrger salaries than the
prime minister of Great llrllaln. The
highest officlala of the navy and army,
whose duties often Involve physical hard
ships and the risk of death, are poorly
paid In comparison with those who rep
resent the government In tho courts. To
day the people are beginning; to ask why
thta ahould be. and members of the
democracy In politics a' well aa laboring
men are asking- the question Insistently.
It has become a burning topic with the
democratic organs of the press. Why I
should the lord chancellor, whose duties
are largely ornamental, be paid more
than five times the stipend Admiral
Jclllcoe receives, la a frequent query.
The office of lord chancellor Is the
niost shining target for attack. That
nfflce la now costing the government
i:j.W0 a year. It commands a salary of
. .vooo and a pension of IX.ooO. Lord
Tluckmaster Is drnwlng the salary, and
three living predecessors. Lords JUIs
hury, Lorebuin and Kaldune ore receiv
es pension.

Lord Halsbtiry held the office for ten
years and has been retired for ten

long on the pension roll. Lord Lorehurn
held office for seven years and has been
rUred a little more than thfea years, ao
that he has been paid W75.O0O. Ho is 69
years old. Lord Haldane was in office
two years and has drawn pension some
thing more than a year. He Is Just under
years of age.
I-ord I?uc);nas!er has sat on the. wool
sack In the House of l,ord a little more
.than one year. Current gofstp among
politicises has it that he Is keeping the
wnotss.-k warm for Mr. Asqiilth. who.
according to belief, will succeed thereto
when the war is ended. A prlmo minis

a great Ruropcnn war, hardly could be
grudged any reward entailing dlKnitv.

Apparently the Impression is gfowln?
in England that the legal profession Is
costing the taxpayer more than it de
serves, that it la securing a share of tbs
public revenues altogether out of propor
tion to tho number and services of Ita
members. The roll of lawyers in Oreat
Prltain Is far smaller than In the t'nlted
States, and there are far more handsome
plums to be distributed. Admiral Jelll
coe'g services are bringing him a finan
cial reward of Iras than $11,000 a year,
and Fir John French, field marshal, com
manding the British army In France,
was on tho pay sheet at T.ivm.
Origin of the l'laa.
In the old time public life of Great
Britain there was a. reason In theory for
payments to the legal members of th-
cabinet and of fleets of the crown h'gber
than given their cnllegties In other fields
of work. Most statesmen came from tho
old families, the traditional ruling raxte.
They were supposed to be men of hered
itary wealth who were willing to give
their service for the public welfare, white
tho legal officlala were professional men
who must sacrifice their private prac.
tlca whiln holding office. In the later
day of democracy, particularly when the
libers t party, whose leaders Include a
large number ef lawyers, the old tradi
tion does not apply. The prime minister,
the home secretary, the minister of mu
nitions, the chancellor of the exchecquer
and several lesser members of the gov
ernment are lawyers, yet draw far
smaller Incomes than tholr colleagues
performing no more Important legal
duties.
From another point of view the flnan.
clat burdon of the law falls less heavily
upon the country as usual War condi
tions have brought great decrease ot bus
iness for the courts.

came from Thomas Sneddon, father of
the Injured man. to A. a. Vee!ey. man

Like a Golden Meteor -j-a
Talk to Investors
it ua use our Imagination and Buppos that a meteor of
gold the size of the W. O. W. building, should strike the earth,
somewhere within the United States.
Then let tm enppose that this mountain of gold would b de
clared common property, to he divided among the people of thft
country.
The resnlt would bo over-supply of gold, the basis ot our .....
money system. Money would be plentiful and "cheap." The pur
chasing price ot the dollar would diminish and the price of all
commodities would rise.
Of course this country will not experience a shower of gold
from the heavens, but the same result Is being accomplished in ,
another way. . v : ,
Due to conditions created by the European war, our Imports
have dropped to almost nothing. Our exports, on the other hand,
are much greater than ever before, exceeding Imports by nearly
two billion dollars a yerr.
This means a grade balance which Is being settled by ship
ments of actual gold to this country in such quantities that we are)
accumulating a store of (bat metal far in excess of our legitimate
needs.
Financial experts ire agreed that are facing an era ot
"cheap" money which means an era of high prices.
History ahows that the tendency during such periods is to
convert money into tangible property.
Old-time residents will recall that in the yeara 1888 to 1875
the period of choap money, which followed the Civil War, there
was a great rush to place money into real estate. Prices went sky
high, and huge fortunes were made by those who foresaw wkat
was coming. r .
Fortunes will be Just aa certainly made within the next flTa .
years in Omaha by Investors who anticipate cbnditlons. i
Such Investors will buy tangible property that doea not hare
a fixed par value, and which has a broad margin of safety.
Of ell tangible property, real estate best conforms to thes ,
tests.
We earnestly advise, not only regular investors, but execu
tor of estates, trustees snd guardians, to carefully consider the
present situation. Idle money should be invested without further
delay and we believe that real estate Is the best place for it. ' -
Real Estate stood like the Rock of Gibraltar during the) '
months of financial distress following the outbreak of the war.
In the iyw and abnormal era now approaching, it will prova aven
better.
