The Schedule Needs Revision

The schedule of reductions in appropriations proposed by the taxpayers committee urging spe- cal session of the legislature. understand was hastily prepared and understood by those who prepared it to be subject to modification Many of the items impossible of reduction however will ing the legislature special session might be-to duce them part of the money appropriated in the regular session has already been expended con- tracts requiring expenditure have already been entered into.
 Other of the reductions would mean only waste instead of saving. For instanme 1t is proposed to divest the department of weights and measures of all appropriations for that department except that covering the salary of the officer in charge
 There would be nothing for travelling expenses; nothing for postage and stationery The officer would be confined a bare room. to do nothing but draw his salary and helpless to earn cent of it.
 Then the proposed withdrawal of sustenance rom the office of dairy commissioners is m-advised Justified only by theory that this office in circumstances is a useless one The question should be not whether the present time the state can af- ford the expense of maintaining the offfce but 2 whether such office should ever be maintained.
 But we do not think that the proponents of reduction would allow themselves to be shifted to that ground It indisputable that the office IS useful one helpful the dairy industry which Tn Arizona was never in direr need of help. And cer- tainy Arizona was in direr need or the oalry industry We all want to see 1t restored at the earliest moment.
 We are in sympathy with the purposes or the men who want to tighten the burdens of the tax payers, for they are great If we oo not agree with them as to advisability of special session. it Is because we feel the hopeessness or any acco plshment in such session

their shining honor becoming tar pished. Thomas H. Benton, for 30 years senator from Missouri, was probably the most frequent partici- pant in duels. This was due to his running a paper in St. Louis called "The Missouri Inquirer" in which he set forth his views boldly with no fear or favor. In one duel he killed his opponent.
 Fiery Andrew Jackson was always in hot water of some kind, and took part in two dueis. In one of them he killed Charles Dickinson, who was dead shot with the pistol. Of this famous duel n is said that Dickinson to shake Jackson's nerves, entertained the party on the way to the dueling grounds by shooting birds out of the trees. and making other exhibitions of his remarkable ability with the pistol. Jackson, though, saved his own life in a curious way He wore coat of extra fullness on the left side, which deceived Dickinson. Dick inson's shot missed Jackson's heart, but hit Jackson, although he gave no sign Then Jackson shot Dickinson dead, and not even Jackson's seconds knew he was hit until he returned to the hostelry where he was putting up. On drawing off his left boot, it was found to be full of blood. Jackson was maimed for life from the shot,
 Jackson's other duel was with John Sevier. first governor of Tennessee, who was one of the prime movers in the formation of the proposed state of Franklin.
 One of Jackson's firmest political friends was Thomas H. Benton, who secured payment of the expenses of Jackson's men after they were or dered disbanded in Mississippi on their way to New Orleans. This friendship was terminated. though

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 2.-i Recently the proceedings of com- mittee of congress were enlivened by a clash between Representative Johnson of Kentucky. and a brother of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the stacker who has found sanctuary in, Germany. Ben Johnson" is no stranger to affairs of this sort. hav- ing figured prominently in one some years ago in which his opponent was a Washington attorney of su- perior physical proportions. On this occasion MT. Johnson sought wea- pon but was prevented from doing any shooting
 Such clashes appear periodically to liven up the news of the day. Tom Heflin. now in the senate, while rep resenting his Alabama district in the house, was one of the principals with Representative Norton of North Dakota, in a fight on the floor of the house, and also took part in shoot ing affray on a Washington street car some years before that
 MT. Heflin was worsted in the short encounter in which he figured on the floor of the house, Relations between Norton and Heflin were very strained. and came to a head one afternoon when Norton walked across to the democratic side of the house and asked Heflin some question. which quickly led to a physical encounter. When they were separated, Mir. Nor ton had MT. Heflin quite helpless, his rotund form bent backward over one of the desks. This seemed to satisfy both for there was no second clash
 On another occasion Heflin re- ClN f1no a rl< g. manship of southern gentlemen when he opened fire on a negro on a street car and hit an innocent and inoffen- sive jockey in the knee. One of MT Heflins brothers, a surgeon, come from the South to attend the victim of the statesman's bullet. James K Vardaman, until recently senator from Mississippi. caused nation wide comment by an attack on a negro porter on a train. No action was taken against either Heflin or Yard aman-

 Before the war the customary price for an ice cream soda was 10 cents: some places sold them for 5. An ice cream cone sold for a nickel and orange drinks and the like were >'ip- ping to a thristing populace at 5 cents per goblet. Then came the great conflict, with the immediate seizure by Germany of all the Ice Cream Mines and Nunt Sundae Forests and Pink Lemonade Factories.

 Congress has discovered that the war is over and has made a pubhc statement to that effect.
 The dealers in ice cream. soda water and orange drinks, however. will con- tinue deaf to the fact. War time prices are still prevailing in most parts of the country and there is as yet no indication that the soft drink and cream men have changed their opinion that the war was fought to make the world safe for the summer beverage business.

 Of the seven states which participated in the forming the overhead organization the co-oper- ative marketing association, Oklahoma City last spring, all but Arizona of the so-caed cotton states. Each is represented by two Democratic s senators whose aid we thinks the exchange may list despite lingering partisan objection in the south to the protective principle.
 That objection seemed to be vanishing at the time of the Atlanta conference last winter. cent letter from Fletcher of Florida indi- cated he had given Senator Ashurst to believe that his aid might counted in the tariff fight
 Republican senators from the West who have replied to letters which have been them from Phoenix have generally pledged their support of a long staple cotton tariff so that have to believe protection will be granted industry.
 What the senate finance committee may do about it is uncertain. The West is represented in the majority of the committee by Senators McCum- Der. Shoot, La Toilette and Curtis. We believe that they may be counted upon the committee strong ly to favor long staple cotton and would with the Democratic members constitute a majority. But party members of committee comparatively sell dom go against majority of their party, that a majority committee report frequently reflects the views of but minority of all the members of the committee.
 But whatever happens in the committee we are hopeful that when this comes up in the senate as many matters to come. long staple cotton will be supported by majority favorng substan- tial protection.
