WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN C. BILLINGS

Last week l spent so much time
covering the Williams hearing there
wasn't time for column. The hear
ing lasted four days and three nights.
When it became obvious they would
MT end in one day, as the Legislative
Council had hoped, Chairman Durkee
made the statement there would be
a full hearing eff it took ten days"
There were lot of legislators who
attended the first couple of days.
They were saying that 1850 of the
people want Williams vindicated".
The next step-the Legislative
Council has the job of writing re-
port to the 1861 Legislature, and
that doesn't have to be finished be-
fore December 81, 1860 IA
months from now.
Following the dreary days of the
1929 depression the machinery was
set up to- handle future depressed
times to avoid waste in material and
human effort, but somewhere along
the line this machinery became
clogged and when the latest de-
pressed times showed up the present
administration, refusing to admit
publicly what it apparently had to
admit privately, started the crash
program of highway building. Pres
sures were put on state highway de-
partments to get moving at all costs
to "relieve the depression" and "get
men to work..
The results of this program were
pretty evident at the Williams hear
ing.
Such chaos developed it was neces-
sary to call in an industrial relations
expert to untangle the mess. This
expert who said he was paid $130
1 day, actually cost the state over
$3.50 day when his expenses were
included in his claim for services
or August.
He told the Legislative Council
hat there was no scientific method
lsed by experts of his type-he said ;
! lot of it was second nature. {
