BUTLER BROTHERS START
DAY AFTER NEW YEAR

Promptly with the beginning of the
new year the northwestern branch of
Butler Brothers of Chicago will move
into its Offices in it's mammoth new
building at First avenue N and Sixth
street.
"We will move into the offices the
day. after New Year 's,' said Howard
W. Baker, who is to be manager of the
northwestern branch. "We ALREADY
have several carloads of goods in the
house and more will arrive every day
from now on. By March l the estab-
hshment will be open for business and
on that date everything connected with
our immense northwestern business will
be moved from Chicago and in the fu-
ture will be handled from the Min
neapoGs office.
Most of the employees of the north
western branch, which will employ
fully 500 people, will be taken from
Minneapolis applicants. The heads of
departments, the superintendent and
those who will have work necessitating
skill and training in the peculiar organ
ization Of the Butler Brother company.
will come from the Chicago headquar-
ters. Mr. Baker announced today that
sixty-fve employees, managers, superin-
ttee,n.dents, and special clerks will leave
Chicago New Years night to be ready
for business in Minneapolis on the
morning of Jan. 2. Tho it is planned to
secure most of the necessary help here
for all departments, Chicago will be
drawn on in case it is found necessary.

GOVERNOR WILL OFFER
IDEAS ON TAX REFORM

Governor johnson will devote consid-
erable attention to the tax question in
his message to the legislature, and has
decided on some Of the recommends
tions he will make.
2 'tI am only blocking out the message
now," said the governor to Th e
Journ a today t'I will recommend
the creation of a permanent tax com
mission, however, I will also recon-
mend as first step in the line Of tax
reform that anincome tax be imposed
on credits, which shall otherwise be ex-
empt from taxation, as the borrower al
ways pays the tax, and in the case of
a mortgage pays double tax. A re-
gistry tax on mortgages will also be
recommended to the consideration Of
the Legislature.

LADY B0UNTIFUL WINS l.
SIX "GOD BLESS Y0U'S''

Lady Bountiful got busy yesterday
and the six Salvation Army soldiers,
who preside over the pots and turkeys,
which are placed on the street corners
to receive the Christmas offerings of
the public are wearing fur collars to
protect them from the cold while they
ARE engaged in their work of attracting
the attention and arousing the sympa-
thy OF the passig crowd. - s'
It was in front of a department
store that the bountiful lady first no.
ticed an army lassie shivering in the
cold winter wind as she jingled the
coins in the iron pot. She asked how
many girls were engaged in the same
work and on being informed that there
We're three in all she disappeared for
half an hour. She returned with three
warm and pretty fur collarettes.
Hardly stopping for thanks, she
turned away as soon as she had made
her gift to the army girls. But she was
back in a short time to ask if there
were not also men Drawing the cold to
carry on the work. For a third time
she came back, and this time she
: brought three fur collars for the men.
This is why the soldiers on the
street corners are muffled about the
throat and face with fur when the air
turns chill and the wind commences to
bite. The donor s name is unkonwn to
the recipients of her gifts, but their
gratitude is none the less sincere.

F. B. Snyder, Professor H. F. Mach

mittee representing the alumni associa-
tlon of the University of Minnesota,
called on Governor johnson today to
make a suggestion for his Forthcoming
message. They want, law under
which the alumni association shall re-
commend names for appointment on
the board of regents, from which list
the governor shall make his appoint
ments., Such a law could not affect
the three appointments coming due in
January. Similar rules exist now for
appointments on the state boards Of
dentistry and pharmacy. 1t was rep
resented by the vs. committee that the
alumni have the interests of the uni
versity at heart, and while there was
no desire to limit the governor s ap-
pointing power, the suggestions made
by the alumni would be Of service in
getting high class men to serve the
state in such a capacity.
Governor Johnson received the sup-
gestion cordially. and said the idea was
one that should by all means be adopt

A Baby In Politics.

This story is told of the late Con-
gresham Clarke of New Hamp-
shire, who was one of the best cam
paign speakers in the state, though
Of very nervous temperament and
easily annoyed.
During the campaign of 1896, in
company with another gentleman
well known in New Hampshire poll
tics, he addressed a very large audi
ence in the southern part of the
state. The second speaker had, I'M
known to Mr.. Clarke, brought along
his wife aud baby daughter, who
were in the audience, and the whole
time that Clarke was speaking the
child kept up her baby prattle, much
to his disgust.
When he had finished and while
the town band was playing a selec-
ton the other man who was to speak
leaned toward Mr.. Clarke and asked,
What kind of an audience is it to
talk to-" and was surprised to hear
him reply, 1T is all right if you can
get that woman and kid out"
But" replied the other, II can't
do it. That is my wife and baby,
