BOARD IF CONTROL BILL PASSED AFTER
 MUCH KNOCKING Each Effort To Kill Measure Suggested By Governor
 Meets Defeat in Round Up

Montgomery, February 6.-tSpe-
 ciai.)-Mr. Acker's senate bill pro- ~ viding for the board of control and
 economy of Alabama got many hard
 knocks before it was finally passed
 by vote of 63 to 25 by the house
 of representatives late Thursday.
 Arguments and suggestions that experiments be added and that a sub stitute for the senate bill be adopted took up the greater portion of the aft ernoon, but each attempt to kill the bill suggested by Governor Kilby, who believes the board will save the state sSoeO0O by purchasing state supplies, met with defeat when the majority fac tion got into action.
 First attempts to Kill the effective ness of the measure were made by Long of Butler. He-suggested that section providing for high-salaried members of the board be amended so as to per init the governor, attorney general and other officials to make up the board, as these members would not draw extra money from the state treasury.
 Hare of Elmore then presented sub stitute measure, one that would have created a uniform accounts and records commission, the members being the governor, director of the department of archives and history, chief examiner of public accounts, the attorney general and secretary of state. Arguing for the bill Hare discussed the merits of each section of his bill and also the bad features he termed of the original senate bill.
 The board of control bill, as now be- fore the house. makes Governor Kilby King of Alabama" said MT. Hare. "The board will cost the people of Alabama S100,000 annuallk'
 By a vote of 55 to 26 the substitute bill was tabled and arguments for the original bill followed.
 The bill will now go to the governor for his signature.
 The Acker bill creates a board the members of which will draw salaries from the state treasury. The board will have charge of the purchasing of sup plies for the state and for the counties with the approval of the boards of reve- nue or commissioners courts
 The ways, means and appropriations committee of the house Thursday after noon made a favorable report on the bill of Tunstan of Hale, which appro- priates $70,000 to refund sheriffs money which they spent during 1916 and 1917 for the feeding of prisoners.

MOTIONS MADE ID TAKE BILLS FROM ADVERSE CALENDAR House Members Spend Two Hours In Discussing the
 Question Yesterday
 Morning

Montgomery. February 6.-(SpeciaD Members of the house of representa- lives discussed the question of taking bills from the adverse calendar for two hours Thursday morning. The house convened at 10 o'clock and the argu- ments resulting from motions to take bills from the adverse calendar con- tinued until 12 o'clock.

The bill was introduced by Green-of Dallas and was placed on the adverse calen- dar by the committee. Hare of Mon- roe county asked that this bill be talk en from the adverse calendar and plac- de on the docket as a favorable bill.
 My people sent me to the legisla- ture to cut down the expenses of run ming the state, and I have found only spendthrifts since my arrival" ex- claimed Parker Of Coosa, in opposing the Hare motion. He delivered a hu- morous speech. He said the legislature of Alabama is going at "breakneck' speed toward the wrong goal.
 Faulk of Geneva county, opposing the Hare motion. said the state has too many judges and that he favored "redstricting'' the state, cutting out the nonessential offices.

AUTO TIRE SALES
BIGGER THAN EVER

"On the subject Of tires" remarked
Mr.. Elias, Of the Government Tire
and Rubber Company, "the car owner
is more and more demanding real tire
service and will not tolerate irrespon-
sible castings or concerns that hold
out as their only inducement for bust
ness a slashinE of prices. If prices
are slashed, the quality must be in
the tires nevertheless.
I'm our second tire business, while
we can probably sell tires at lower
prices than any concern in the busi-
ness by reason Of the enormous buy
ing power of our parent organization
in New York, we demand a high quail
ity in every tire we buy. The quality
must be there before we will have
anything TO do with the tires and
they must be of sufficiently high
quality to enable US TO absolutely
guarantee them. Most of our second
tires are simply factory surplus stock
while others are slightly bIemished-
I'VE have done enough business in
the first three months of this year
continued Mr.. Elias, "to indicate that
1913 will be a record-breaker in the
sale OF automobile tires. Everything
seems to point to a bigger and better
business generally. Mind you, our
keystone factory is running night
and day in its effort to keep up with
the demand. Our parent organization
controls the entire output of keystone
tires and they are certainly winners.
II is my opinion that KEYSTONE
is the one great value. When it
comes to giving the car owner the
most service for his money no tires
that / know OF can equal the Key
stone. All we can do is to implore
our New York headquarters TO ship
US more and more Of these tires and
they are doing their best to keep US
supplied in all the standard sizes. We
expect soon to have another and still
larger factory producing Kesytone
tires and then there will be no diff
ficulty in supplying the demand, we
hope.
Although we appreciate that this
demand is caused by the wonderful
performances of the keystone tires,
it also means something else. The
public is beginning to buy tires as il
never has before. The war has
taught US all to be economical and
there is no question that the spirit
Of thrift prevails to a far greater de |
gree than it did in pre-war days. The |
public is now demanding value for
its money in everything"

MILITARY RITES FOR
MATTHEW RUPERT

Funeral rites and interment serv-
ices. with military honors, were held
yesterday afternoon for Matthew
Rupert, a marine corps veteran OF
the civil war and a business man OF
this city for many years. Interment
was in Arlington National Cemetery
and was in charge OF James A. Gar
field Post, No. Z, G.. A. r.
Mr.. Rupert died Wednesday at
his home, GIL * street northwest,
after several weeks illness. He was
born in Herbstein, Germany, in 1886,
and came to this country when four
teen years old. At the age OF twenty
one he enlisted in the marine corps,
six years before the outbreak OF the
civil war.
When John Brown, with his fol
lowers, took defense in John Browns 5
fort" at Harpers Ferry, the marines
were called on to storm the strong
hold. Rupert was the third marine
to enter the fort, under heavy fire.
He was shot in the mouth during the
assault
After the engagement at Harpers
Ferry, and as a result of wounds sus-
tanned, he was honorably discharged.
He came TO this city to make his
home For many years he was en-
gagged in business in Georgetown. He
later engaged in business at Seventh
street and New York avenue north
west. He retired in 1904
He is survived by his widow. three
daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Rupp, Mrs
Mamie c. Bridaham and Miss Louise
c. Rupert; and two sons, Frank NJ.
and Charles c. Rupert.

Load On Return Trip Cuts Cost.

To handle a full load in and out
is impossible in almost any concern at
all times, but the problem is to get
the greatest tonnage average both
ways. To get a full load out, and
pick up a load to bring back means
the reduction of Ihe cost OF motor
trucking one-half. To operate a
truck at a cost of SO or S12 per day
with efficient dispatching, getting a
load both ways, means a very low
cost per ton-mile.
On the other hand, the same truck,
making one way loaded. the other
light, doubles the cost per ton mile.
In other words. it will take two
trucks, at $50 or S24 per day, to do
the work done under the other meth
cd, at SO or So. And this difference
in the operation OF a single truck, or
pair of Rrucks will pay the salary OF
a mighty efficient dispatcher, and
leave a handsome balance to the
good on the books of the operating
firm.
This problem OF dispatching was
one CT the hardest problems Uncle
