Governor-elect Campbell, who was a member of the tax commission before his election two years ago. It is known that he will recommend to the coming legislature the passage of a budget bill similar to that of Mary land, which provision for sinking fund and with strong recommends tions toward economy and to a stop in the multiplication of officers and commissions, such as has been known since statehood.
 There has been defence that the state tax rate has been lowered, but this is only because the assessment of very sort of property, especially upon mines and farms, has been raised enormously.
 There is belief that the state com mission of public institutions has been a very expensive mistake and Gov ernor Campbell is said to be consid- ering plans for it's abolition and for return to something like the old board of control plan, that gave gen eral oversight of state institutions to the governor, auditor and a citi- zen member. The governor is said to incline toward the idea of a single commissioner, to have general re- sponsibility for expenditures made by the institutions, as the governor and auditor are considered as having enough to do without the added work that would go with return to the ter 'ritorial system of board of control.

 "I address to you and beg you to transmit to all of the members of the American Red Cross my personal thanks as well as those of the French armies under my command.
 The intervention of the American Red Cross in both the material and moral domain has not ceased to mani fest itself since the great republic of the United States entered the war. It is particularly agreeable to me to feel again your charitable support at the moment when our troops, who have fought without cessation for more
 
 than four years. perceive the dawn of the day when France shall be liberat- ed and when the allied nations shall be in full victory.
 "I know that in addressing the American Red Cross I speak in reality to the people of the United States. My thanks, therefore, go to your people and I am happy thus to have the oc- casion to transmit to them the evi- dence of the grateful affection of our army.
 "The French troops will remain un- der arms probably for long time, but thanks to your intervention, many of the cares will be dissipated and many of the misfortunes will be light ened.

EVER HEAR THIS ONE, KING!

Can it be that, all unawares, We
have been entertaining a real mixer
in the White house?
Dispatches from France and Eng
land nave told, time and again, how
President Wilson started N telling
stories upon being introduced to dis
tingu. u.sned persons.
Here's one ne told to Lloyd George
and other notable Britons:
The intormality OF the American
soldier IS illustrated by an incidenl
related by one OF our divisional COM
manders, General Hale. He ana
other officers in their car drove INTO
camp past a sentry who did not chal-
lenge them as they went by.
General Hale returned and asked
why the sentry had failed to halt the
party.
"'Oh, | know you fellows the sol
dier replied.

We cannot remember hearing that
rOars of laughter greeted any of the
Presidents speeches to Congress. We
cannot remember that any merry quips
enlivened his discourse on the con-
duct of the "wlllful twelve" There
was repartee of a sort in some of his
notes to Count Hohenzollern, but it
sizzled rather than tickled.
In laying a foundation for a repu-
tation as a story teller, however,
President Wilson is running true to
form. More persons remember that
Pres.d dent Lincoln told good stories
than that he fired general after gen.
eral in the Civil War
Then, too, President Wilson is only
dong his share to maintain Ameri-
cas- reputation abroad. When We
have been claiming for years to be
the worlds most humorous nation,
there is a certain duty that devOlves
upon our chief representative abroad.
At any rate, the President has one
advantage over his European listeners.
He has been a regular attendant upon
vaudeville shows ever since going to
Washington. In that time he has
heard bushels of jokes, few if any OF
which can have been cabled back to
King George by the British Ambas
sador here. A new audience, you
know, is as good as a new joke.
