Bro. johnson of the St. Peter
Herald has his pleasant moments.
Himself an active senator in 1899
and 1901 sessions he cannot refrain
from insisting that the only reform
senate ever convened in Minnesota
was the 1903 body. and that the
worst house ever convened was
over in the other wing of the capt.
tol at the same time. The way that
the senate put to sleep every tax
reform measure that originated and
was passed by the house IS the
cause of the pleasant moment when
Bro. Johnson wrote the article in
sisting that the 1903 senate was a
great reform body.
