Tom Haines really did introduce
the bill to repeal the Personnel Com
mission act of the 1853 legislature.
He said if he had a chance to vote
for getting rid of the Personnel Com
mission he would do it-and refresh
inglv said that he had voted wrong
last session and would like to remedy
his mistake. But / didn't think he
would put the bill in. We've been
wondering if Winfield Page would
come over and help save the Com
mission.
Another of Pages babies that
should be drastically revised is the
Controller law. | howled about it
last time and you should hear the
people who are hollering this time.
The Controller presented the budg-
ct to the legislators after having
used an actuarial scalpel on it, and
without the departments affected
having seen it.
Now. as / did last time, must
protest that none of this is the fault
of the Controller. His position, under
the wisest and most practical law
would not make him popular. Under
the present law his position is I'M
tenable because the law is unrealistic
and Impractical. He must cut the
requests to fit income without any
regard to need. Now if he were just
delegated to add to his compilations
what the need of the departments
are he would be some value to the
legislature because they would know
the void between what money is avail
able and what the legislature should
to meet the needs.
