This article presents information related to political issues in the United States. The present system of lean salaries tends to make the United States courts not great professional prizes, to which the greatest lawyers constantly look forward, but preparatory schools for the training of corporation lawyers. The type of an "ex-Judge" who has actually risen from the bench to the position of counsel to a railroad is a peculiar feature of American times. The reason why majority government succeeds so well all over the country in small municipalities, like towns, and does not succeed in large cities, is that in the former all, or nearly all, voters are direct taxpayers, and thus feel local politics to be part and parcel of their private and personal affairs.
