Excerpt from Compensation for Clerks of United States Courts This amendment was suggested by the Department of Commerce and Labor in response to a letter from the chairman of the committee requesting an opinion as to the effect upon the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization of the bill as originally framed.

The judicial code which went into effect January 1, 1912, abolished the office of clerk of circuit court. Prior to that time in many cases the clerk of the circuit court also held the office of clerk of the district court, and received the compensation of both officers, to wit, an amount not over 87,000 per annum. The clerk of the district court must now in every case discharge all the duties heretofore incumbent upon both the clerk of the circuit court and the clerk of the district court. Section 839 of the Revised Statutes provides that out of tiie fees earned by him in his office the clerk of the district court may retain as compensation for his services a sum not to exceed $3,500, the amount (subject to this limitation) being fixed by the Attorney General as provided in said section. Under the old order which provided for a clerk of the circuit court and a clerk of the district court, there were in some districts more than one clerk of each the circuit court and the district court. Arizona had five district clerks us a Territory. Now, under the joint operation of this hill and the judicial code the number is reduced to one. New Mexico hail seven district clerkships as a Territory and now lias one. Among districts having more than one may be mentioned the following: The eastern district of Kentucky, where there were six circuit court clerks and six district clerks; western district of Kentucky, where there were four circuit court clerks and four district clerks; and tho western district of Virginia, where there were four circuit court clerks and four district clerks. Under the provisions of the judicial code there can be but one clerk in each district, or a total of 79 clerks. Bills introduced to change compensation of district clerks. Bills have been introduced in the Senate and the House of Representatives at this session of Congress to increase the maximum compensation to $5,000 per annum to be retained by the clerk out of his lees earned. It seems to be generally believed that $3,500 is in some cases too small a compensation for the clerk who now must discharge all the duties heretofore incumbent upon the two clerks, circuit and district, and in other eases that sum would be excessive compensation.
