44 ARBITRATION CODE SUPPLEMENT

in fees . ( 3 ) To avoid a practice of giving such inadequate fees that they are regarded with amusement or contempt by the recipients . ( 4 ) To avoid the payment of fees by parties to arbitrators as the practice tends to create a re lationship of employer and employee or principal and agent or party and advocate between them . ( 5 ) To obtain on an honorary basis highly qualified men as public servants whom parties might be unable to interest on a fee basis .

Distribution of costs . In its plan for the distribution of costs among the parties to a controversy or among industries and trade organizations , the Association has taken several fac tors into consideration . The first is that irrespective of the extent to which arbitration is actually in use , facilities must at all times be ready and available . The second is that as the purpose of arbitration is protective as well as remedial , the protective cost must be borne by industry generally and not by parties particularly . The third is that arbitration performs the general services of improving trade practice and maintaining ethical standards and , therefore , extends its influence far be yond particular controversies . The fourth is that in proportion as arbitration facilities are extended to all branches of trade business benefits generally . These considerations have led the Association to appoint a Board of Trustees charged with the duty of working out among the parties , trade associations and industries generally , a basis for the distribution of the cost of maintaining its system . This plan proceeds on the theory that as courts are supported under laws which maintain order and justice in society and the people are taxed for such protection and benefits , so tribunals are established under arbitration laws to maintain self - regulation and justice in business society and industry and commerce should voluntarily tax themselves to maintain these benefits to industry .
