.SLASHING PROCESS AT CITY PAY ROLL
 NOW IN FULL SWING Decided That $150,000 Must Be Cut From Birmingham's
 Expense Account SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS ARE SURE TO SUFFER Finance Committee Was Sharpening Knives for Fray at Meeting
 Held i'm the Mayors Office
 Last Night

Behind the closed doors of the Mayors of the guillotine could be heard last night beheadins city employees and cutting broad gashes in the city departments
 The finance committee of the council was in session with the Lord High Mayor present in an advisory capacity, with Auditor Petersen on hand to read out the grand total of the deficit which he has figured to $250,000.
 It has been decided that S15O,00O must count. To accomplish this the heads men will be forced to work continually.
 Last night three departments were on the hot sands. Dr. John L.. Parker and Dr. ]. H. Phillips of the board of edu- cation, pr. Robert Nelson of the health department, Chief Bodeker and Mayor hSum of the police department were in- troduced into the secrecies of the Inner chamber, and initiated into the order of dementia financia.
 They stood the ordeal unflinchingly, but were no doubt frightened by the sharpening of knives In preparation for the great cutting fest. These three de- partments are the only ones not directly under the control Of the council, as they are regulated simply by appropriations. However, it has been decided to not only get up a budget but to stand faithfully by it, and when the budget is announced. the appropriations for the police, the san- ltary department and the board of edu- cation will be severely mutilated. The detective force and the sanitary depart ment, it is said, will suffer most.
 Meantime the finance committee will hold several other meetings, and will summon all the other departments. Street Commissioner Frank Gafford has already prepared statement of his expenses and necessities.
 Retrenchment Is the word. There has been some talk of another bond issue but It has not been definitely decided upon. Many plans have been considered to meet the situation. The aldermen seem to be hard at work in an effort to solve the question, but the public is none the wiser. for the door to the Mayors ot flee is tightly closed and behind it can be heard only the drone of Chairman Me Dowells voice, reading an opinion of the city attorney.

ROSE SPECIAL TICKETS
 BEING EAGERLY SOUGHT
Unexpected Rush on Day When the
 Sale Opened.

Judging from the rush for tickets yesterday and the applications for berths on the Rose Special' the su- perb Santa Fe train which will carry the business men of Phoenix on their trade excursion into the Parker sec tion next Monday evening, record breaking crowd will be aboard when that train pulls out of the local sta ton. The committee on arrangements is busily engaged in perfecting the de- tails of the trip and one of the most enjoyable journeys ever undertaken in this section will result.
 The proclamation of Acting Govern or George U. Young. calling upon the business men who leave Phoenix on the Rose Special to observe the occa- sion as a holiday and expressing best wishes for the safe return of all, as published in The Republican yesterday morning, has added new color and life to the trade tour, and it is believed that many will take advantage of the oppor- tunity to go into the Arizona X Cali fornia country for the one day who might otherwise have remained at home.
 As stated in The Republican yester day, the tickets for this excursion may be obtained from the local ticket offices of the Santa Fe or from any member of the committee. B. w. Getsinger, who happens to be conducting a land sale on Tuesday at Rouse, is also working heart and soul in the interests of the trip and expects that not a few will take in the trip on account of the opportunity he offers for investment.
 Letters received by the committee men from those who are in charge of the reception arrangements at the towns to be visited state that every effort will be made to entertain the vis itors in a right royal style and to ere ate the best possible impressions of the sections where stops will be made.
 It was learned yesterday that quite a few merchants from Tempe and Mesa were contemplating taking the trip, not alone because they are anxious to become acquainted with the residents of the A. & C. country, but because of the opportunity afforded to get in closer relations with the busi- ness men of this city.
 Those who contemplate going on the excursion are urgently requested to make early application for tickets and sleeping car reservations so that there may be no disappOintments when the final day arrives. And these same per sons should not lose sight of the in- formal reception Secretary Harry Welch of the board of trade will tender next Monday evening at 9 o'clock at the board of trade rooms for the pur- pose of bringing the party together and get them better acquainted with each other.

JUST RESENTMENT

One day a Scottish boy and an English boy who had been fighting were separated by their respective mothers, the Scottish boy. although the smaller of the two. being by far the more pugnacious.
 Whit garrcd ye fecht a big laddie like that?'' asked his mother, as she wiped the blood from his nose.
 And I'll fccht him again cX- claimed the lad, If he says Scotsmen hiv tae wear kits because their feet are too big tae get into their troO- sersi Tit Bits
