Work of Budget Commlsslonu Is Still
Incomplete, and What Their Reconv
msnditions will be Are Unknown.

Salary facreaseg for state officials
will be one of the first problems that
members of the Incoming legislature,
which will get down to work during
the first days of next January, jrlll
tackle unless Indications on the sur
face are badly misinterpreted.
The 6xeeuttre heads of the various
departments in submitting their bud
gets to Che state budget commission
are asking for more pay and In most
instances t!he figure is sat at $6,000.
The commission has not com
pleted its work and it is not known
what recommendations will he made
by the members composing the com
mission as to salary Increases in their
report to the legislature, but it Is
known that they were not surprised
tbat the officials should want better
wages for service rendered.
As a matter of fact it has afbout be
come a matter of general knowledge
orer the state that something must be
done that would give the beads of the
departments an increase or the poei
t>;irs would go begging. Two of the
older men who have served the state
well for a number of years hare quit
their post to recoup their finances.
They are Col. James R. Young, lusur
ance commissioner and 001. W. Pens
Wood, state auditor. v

keting of the big crop this year. The
178 warehouses operating at M mar
kets during October sold appropri
inatly elghty-nve million pounds as
compared With 102.856.000 pounds a

special delight in walking about the
place, commenting on the condition of
the crops and In many ways jahbwing
his interest In his possessions.
One evening during the summer he
was strolling over the farm.-The hired
man had cat the grass during the day
—a very thin crop—and left it on the
grofind to dry. The official saw it and,
calling his man, said:
"It appears to me that you are very
careless. Why haven't you been more
particular in raking up this hay?
Don't you see that you have left drlb
bltngs all around?"
For a moment the hired man stared,
wondering whether his boss was quiz
zing him. Then he replied:
"Dribbllngs? Why, sir, that's the
crop!" ' ►
