The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary

Walter A. Shumaker and George Foster Longsdorf; ed. James C. Cahill · 1922

An elaborate form of noncommunistic socialism. It is a scheme which does not contemplate an equal, but an unequal, division of the produce. It does not propose that all should be occupied alike, but differently, according to their vocation or capacity; the function of each being assigned, like grades in a regiment, by the choice of the directing authority, and the remuneration being by salary, proportioned to the importance, in the eyes of that authority, of the function itself, and the merits of the person who fulfills it. 1 Mill, Pol. Econ. 258. SAIO (Law Lat.)

In Gothic law. The ministerial officer of a court or magistrate, who brought parties into court (gtti reos protraxit in judicium), and executed the orders of his superior. Spelman thinks the word may be derived from the Saxon sagol, or saiol, a staff, giylng it the sense of the modern "tipstaff." SAIREMENT (Law Fr.) An oath. Kelham.
