tempting to arrest the former in
West Prescott on sunday night at
about $3.50 o'clock. The incident is
said TO have been brought about by
Bickford threatening his two daugh-
tiers. and telephone calls were made
to the sheriffs Office TO prevent him
from carrying out his alleged designs.
When Deputies Campbell and Baker
arrived ON the scene, the former en-
tered the yard in the rear OF the Cook
residence and met Bickford. who
later slashed at the officer with a
pocket knife and inflicted wound
across his lett arm over six inches
long, which narrowly missed the
main artery.
1t is said that Bickford also made
two attempts 10 reach the stomach
Of Deputy Campbell. but the blade
only penetrated the clothing at two
points. Loss of blood prevented the
officer from continuing the chase
after Bickiord, the latter running for
shelter into the brush. Later Under
Sheriff Raible and Jailor Burns ap-
peared and traced Biekford to the
Valley View House, where he was
taken into custody without further

A Practical Way to Check Extrava.

Government expenses will not be
materially reduced until there is a
check on appropriations. Congress
holds the money bag. The President
cannot disburse a dollar without it's
authority. Though the Senate usu-
ally manages to pile on a few millions,
money bills must originate in the
House, and it is to the lower branch
Of Congress we must look fer reform.
Governor Wilson favors a business
like system to replace present chaotic
conditions. Twenty-Five years ago ne
urged the adoption Of the budget plan.
The necessity is much more urgent
today.
Appropriations are made in a hap
hazard way. The Committee on Ap-
preparations has lost its supreme
authority over expenditures. Army,
Navy, River and Harbor, Agriculture
and other committees each makes
up in its own way the budget for that
particular branch. A struggle follows,
in which each committee gets all it
can. Especially in regard to rivers
and harbors and public buildings is
legislation affected by local inter-
ests-the result Of numerous deals
and dickering. "Log-rolling" has led
to the waste Of many millions on wa
terways that carry no commerce. as
Senator Burton pointed out. Distr-
button of public buildings as favors
has become a scandal.
The Democrats propose to 10 away
with all this by making up a clear
statement of the absolute needs of the
Government. estimating the probable
receipts and not allowing appropria-
tions outside this budget except for
cmergencie1. The idea is, nlst, to
compel the Government to live with
in its income; second, to consider the
needs Of all branches of the se,vice
ret favoring one at the expense Of
another; third. to cut down expenses
and relieve the taxpayers of part Of
tho heavy burden they bear.
Perhaps this sensible plan was not
3dopted thirty years ago because t
was too businesslike to suit the poll
tciahs. whose favorite cry was: 'Iiur-
ran for the old flag and big apprupria-

1T is related that pretty girl,

The greatest surprise to a girl who
gets kissed for the first time is that
there is no taste to it," How she
found that out is not related. and it
may be in bad form to inquire. How
ever, an old bachelor who has read
her unsupported statement, roars
back in this fashion.
NO taste to it? BY the great hen
feather in Cupid's dart, that girl
must be color blind in the palate.

We have not-that it tastes like
double distilled essence of honey

felt like a covery of frightened quail

NO taste to first kiss? Great
Scott. 1t would make a wooden In

And they fain would tell us also
that the taste thereof is like unto the
