COOPER REPLIES TO
CHARGES BY HARRIS
About Appropriations Commission
er's Department Must Make Tsti-
mate or BE Above Law.

COLUMBIA, Jan. 23.-Dmect Of
fetal conflict between Governor
Cooper, as chairman of the South Car
oiina budget commission, and II. Har-
,is, commissioner of agriculture, COM
mcrce and industries, has been engcn-
dered by certain curtailments in the
Office Of the latter recommended by
the commission to the General Assem-
bly,.
The budget commission failed to
recommend an appropriation for the
statistical clerk, two assistant chem
lists and two inspectors OF the depart
ment, all Of which were to receive
salaries Of 81 500 each. Action was in
effect an advocacy of the abolition Of
these positions. In addition, the cs-
the department for the year 1920
were reduced from $2S,200 to $l9,S00.
In his general recommendations, the
Governor suggested that all moneys
expended by any State department
would be by direct, specific appropra-
ton. This department, as operated
at present. if not limited in its OK
pcnses nor its specific appropriation
made for the majority Of its activi-
ties, its expenses are paid out of the
fc' collected by it. In answer to- Il

In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: Glow much can
we give for the money! And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac-
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
cern - noted as a leader in every
lime it entered since 1876 has once
more proved that its policy is right.
"A perfect tire is simply q. matter
of knowledge and standards >and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
skinping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.

tire makers includes brilliant staff
