CUT OVER
$7,5O0,OOO
BY Governor Burnquist-
New Buildings Refused
Reductions Everywhere

For the first time in the history of
Minnesota governor has had an OPP
portunity to cut down the requests
for appropriations for state expenses.
Power conferred on him by the 1915
legislature was used by Governor
Burnquist to pare down the estimates
of various state departments for their
financial needs during the next two
years.
The governors message and rec
concentrations as to budget revision
were presented to the 1917 legislature
yesterday. The figures speak best for
the power the governor now has to
direct state expenditures.
The total appropriations asked by
all departments for the next two ifs
cal years amounted to $27,003,1S2.
Governor Burnquist recommended
that this amount be cut about $780,
900.
State officials in their separate bud
gets estimated that in the aggregate
it would cost $9,307.930 more to run
the state the next two years than
was needed in the past biennial. Gov
ernor Burnquist told the legislature
that If they would adopt the elimina-
tions he suggested there will be
scarcely any increase in the tax rate
for the next biennial period.
The larger reductions proposed by
Governor Burnquist in the budget for
the next two years follow:
Aid to schools, 100000 for
each Of two years.
University buildings and equip
men+ $4,000 for each Of two
years.
University salaries and expen-
ses, $4,000 year.
ings, 100000 each year.
Charities and corrections con-
tineent fund, $4,000 each year.
BemidjI NORMAL, $3.50, 1000. .
Other normal schools, $21ay5oo.
Highway commission mainten-
ance, $21f,900 each year.
His Recommendation.
recommendations made by the
Governor for holding the budget to
the minimum are in part revolution
airy. Some of the more important sug-
gestions follow:
Defer building Of large eduea-
tionaI structures because Of high
cost of material and scarcity of
labor.
Appropriate less money to COM
munities able to care for them
selves and more to the poor
communities who ask state aid
for high, graded, rural and other
schools.
Defer building new structures
at the University Of Minnesota
and provide more funds for in
struetors.
Hold to the minimum the num-
Der of public institutions to be
built for the states charges.
Reorganize state board OF health.
Make automobilists bear q Iarg.
or share or the cost of building
and maintaining roads.
Put all purchasing In the. hands
of the state board of control.
Nearly one-half of the total in
crease over the last biennium. $780,
$50, asked in the budget, was request
ed for educational purposes. The state
normal board, the governor pointed
out, asks for $626,795 more than was
allotted them last session, and $780,
900 is for the proposed new normal
school at Bemidji. 1t Is here that Gov
ernor Burnquist calls attention to the
high cost of material and the scarcity
of labor and advises that large struc-
lures like this be left for considera-
ton by the 1919 legislature.
The governor reduced the appor-
tionment for state aid to high, grad
ed, rural and other schools by $1,000
900 for each of the next two years.

100000 FIRE
IN MINNEAPOLIS
(Rv Associated Press.l

Minneapolis, Jan. 31.-Fire early to-
day destroyed the Levin Bros Furni-
ture warehouse. 20 Main street south
east. Minneapolis, causing an estimated
damage of 100000. An additional dam
age of $4,000 was sustained by the
Riverside hotel, adjoining.
Two men, employees of the furniture
company, were severely burned before
they could escape from the building
and were taken to the Minneapolis city
hospital.
Thief act that no other employees were
in the building probably prevented a
big loss of life.
Ten minutes after the fire was dis
covered it was beyond the control Of
the FIRE department. Firemen were
compelled to cut their hose to save flre
apparatus. Thousands of feet of hose
were destroyed.

A rise Of temperature In the sur,
rounding air diminishes the amount Of
oxygen consumed and the amount Of

allure has the opposite effect. In ad.
dition, the overheated air forms hot
Jacket around the body which prevents
the radiation Of heat necessary to keep

sedentary occupation a temperature
Of from O. to 20 should be maintained
