Commissioners paid
by salary till their
business is done acts as
a premium on delay
in doing the business

To a Judge or other functionary an entire list is allotted
and for his to the purpose of inducing suggesting him to take upon
himself a task, pay to a certain amount repeated at certain
intervals, say of a day, a week a month, a quarter of a
year or a year is employed in affording to him a remuneration for
the performance or applied performance of that same time: but
with the condition lached to it namely that so soon as the task
is performed the claim of remuneration shall be broken eliminated and case shall
be at an end. What is the effect of this? In as considered in one
point of view it is a premium:; considered in another point of view
it is a penalty. For delay it is a premium: for dispatch of it a
penalty. Is it possible that men can be sincere and in
the course be taken the desire to possession of proposed
delay when he gives a premium — rising in exact proportion to the length of
it: Is it possible that he can be sincere and in his profession
of a desire to prevent dispatch, when he attaches to it
a penalty to it, and a penalty to such encrease attached to it, that
the application of it can never in any capable fail of
feeling pain. For a penalty thus attached in effect no penalty attached
under the name of a penalty, the su paid sum being the
same in both cases is apparent in value and degree of
efficiency.

This is in fact though
not in words imposing
a penalty on dispatch

Yet from experience and observation it should seem that
because it may be that while the same one the one by whom
the ideality of the effect in these two cases is procured, other than
one by whom it is not present to whom it is still a secret

This an example of
the importance of
Nomography

True the importance of the branch of logic
a branch of logic which may be stiled Nomography — the art of applying
to logic of the will in the purpose of giving apt expression
to legislative enactments.
