in many months and it was brought
to the attention of Governor Willis
did he take it up with the industrial
commission, whose duty it is to cope
with such problems? Did he ask ad-

like Judge Wallace Yaple or Thomas
Duffy? He did not. Instead he refer
red the matter to H. l.. Elliott who had
the wisdom to take up the matter with
his colleagues, Notwithstanding the
fact that they were Democrats. 1t is
mighty good thing for workmen's
compensation that Mr.. Elliott's mind is
broader than that of the governor who
named him. But then of course it is
not necessarily to follow that Mr.. FL
