BOUCHER EXPLAINS
North Dakota Warden Visits
Warden WOffcr.

N. f. Boucher, warden of the Bis
marck IN. d. penitentiary and the
man who withdrew his acceptance of
the wardenship Of the Minnesota state
prison some weeks ago, is at the Mer-
chants. Boucher has been connected
with the North Dakota prison for a
good many years, and is prominent in
the politics Of his state. Judging from
subsequent events" he said yesterday,
81 am not at all sorry that I did not
come to Minnesota when the oppor-
tunity presented itself I see there is
a first-clasS row over the conduct of
the prison at Saltwater. and 1 want
none of it in mine"
why did you recall your acceptance
of the placer" was asked.
81 stated my reasons in my letter to
the board of control" the big Dakotan
responded, but he continued: 'aThe
salary of the warden at Bismarck Is
$4,000, and my wife and daughter earn
another $1,000 from the state. Every
thing is provided for our living by the
state. The Minnesota berth carried
with it salary of $4,000. but the war
den must supply his own household. I
could not see where was lettering my
by making the change, and then there
were family reasons for not wanting
to leave North Dakota"
Warden Boucher did not explain
why he had accepted the Minnesota po-
sition, knowing all the facts in adj
vance. He had conference with
Warden Wolfer, Of saltwater, In st.
Paul yesterday, but he said it was
only a fraterna1 call.

west and the Canadian Northwest,
nearly two hundred land dealers, from

ures have added to the influx into

While there has been no diminution Of

GET AFTER TRADING
STAMP COMPANIES
Aldermen Pass Ordinance Re.
curing Them to Pay Liz
cense Fee of $500.

At the instance Of the st. Paul Re-
tail Dealers association the board of
aldermen last evening passed an ordi-
nance under suspension of the rules
that requires trading, stamp companies
to pay an annual license fee of $500,
and also provides that every firm using
the stamps shall pay license Of $500
q year.
The ordinance was prepared by Cor
poration Attorney Michael at the in
stance of the retailers, who have re-
solved to, if possible, abolish the use
of the trading stamps. The ordinance
was introduced by this declaration of
the reasons for it's enactment:
The use of trading stamps, coupons,
and other similar devices has resulted
in fraud and imposition upon the mer-
chants and citizens of the city of st. Paul,
and is a detriment to Iegitima te trade
and commerce Of said city, and is a con-
slant source Of expense to said city In
furnishing police protection against fraud
and imposition.
With the ordinance in force it would
be unlawful to sell or give away the
stamps, coupons, tickets or similar de-
vices with goods sold, or to in any way
deal in the stamps without first hav-
L
penalty for violation is a fine of not
less than $40 nor more than 500.
Would Drive Out Concerns.
"The idea is to do away with the trad
ing stamps In st. Paul." explained the
corporation attorney. "If it was in my
power I would gladly drive these con-
Germs out of business without the pass
ing of such an ordinance. 1 believe
the measure will answer the purpose
although the retailers desired that the
license fee be placed at a higher figure
I did not do this for the reason that
any greater amount might be held to be
unreasonable"
IF you don't make the license 81 ,00O
I will not vote for the ordinance" de-
clared Aid. Dahlquist. 1T is right that
these trading stamp people should be
driven out of the city, but there should
be a lot of other people licensed. There
are clothing stores that could afford tc
pay 1000 a year and never miss the
money. License the grocers and other
merchants"
cit does seem to me-" reasoned Alder
man Corning, that the portion of the
ordinance relating to the business be-
ing fraudulent might be cut out with
out injuring the measure. know moth
ing of this, business, and do not like tc
declare that it is fraud"
But that is what it is" answered
the corporation attorney, "and the re-
tailers want the declaration in the or
dinance. These trading stamp people
come to the city, rent a small room, gel
q telephone, hire a girl and proceed
to rake in the peoples money without
giving any adequate return"
Roll call on the passage Of the ordi-
nance resulted in Corning, Elder, Dob
ner, Hinkens, Rohland and Moriarty
voting in the affirmative and Dahlquist
and Buschmann in the negative, the
latter explaining that he thought the
trading stamp people should be giver
a hearing. The ordinance must pass
the assembly and be approved by the
MAYOR before it becomes a law.
