The1Whole Secret Of
A Better Tire
Simply a Matter Of the Makers Policies

To ascertain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some 200 tires-as our laboratories
have done.
Then it is a matter OF combining
the best features and building ac-
cording to the highest standards
Once you try a Brunswick YOU
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless of factory
expense.
Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
same as other ike-type tires. Our
saving is on selling cost, through
our nationwide organization.
We realize that you expect more
from Brunswicks, and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruins
wick will tell you the story.
And then you'll want ALL
Brunswicks. No other tire, you'll
agree, gives, so much for your
money.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1920-03-25

This you will realize-once you
try a Brunswick-that a super-tire
is possible only when the name
certifes that the maker is follow.
ing the highest standards.
For tire making is chiefly a mat.
ter Of standards and policies-cost
plus care. Any maker can build a
good tire if he cares to pay per-
fection's price.
All men know Brunswick stand
ards, for Brunswick products have
been famous for ~ years.
Formulas, fabrics and standards
vary vastly in cost. Reinforce
ments, plies and thickness are a
matter Of expense. And these vari-
atoms affect endurance. It rests
with the maker how far he wishes
to go-how much he can afford
to give.
For there are no secrets nor pat
euts to hold one back.

THE TROLLEY PROBLEM.

The question of an increase in troll
ley fares is not peculiar to Topeka.
Other cities have bee compelled to
meet it and it is pending in still
others. Among the latter is Hartford,
Conn. In an editorial discussion of
the matter the "Gourant" says:
The question what we are to do
about the trolley concerns everybody
who moves about in, into, or out from
the city This form of transportation
has become SO established that we all
take it for granted. Time was when
it was a. sort of gold mine. Every
thing else was on a nickel basis and
the revenue was abundant. Under its
the privileges that five cents would
buy. Then came the change. Every
thing else has doubled and doubled
again. The five-cent rate came to
mean collapse. The zone system has
already demonstrated its failure and
something must be done.
You cannot pay out more than you
take in and keep it going perpetual
ly. But the people for whom the troll
leys are chartered have taken the at
titude that the cars will run anyhow.
In storms, in hot days, when SHOWS
block other travel at late hours, they
always will have the trolley to fall
back upon. Meanwhile they take the
jitney. It is irresponsible, an injury
does not lead to a successful lawsuit.
but it's handy, it comes up to the
sidewalk. It's different. The 'jits'
turn out when business is good, but are
irregular and unauthorized, running
as their managers prefer.
It is up to the people to decide
whether they want the trolley business
continued. If they do, they must con-
sent to the company taking in money
enough to pay its bills. There is no
talk of dividends It is of continuing
to carry passengers. Better higher
fare than no cars.
- If the business ceases, the step
backward in convenience and in safety
will be a long one.

bargain with their employers on mat
ters affecting wages and conditions.
That recognition presupposes the en-
ployment of orderly processes and sub
mission to discipline within the ranks.
Otherwise the word of a union is
worthless. agreements and contracts
useless The unions which are strong
est and whose members are enjoying
the highest wage scales are those in
which discipline is firmly enforced.
Runaway strikes defeat their own
purpose and injure the entire cause of
organized labor.

A higher freight rate bringing
greater revenues, will enable the rail-
roads to increase their facilities. and
therefore in the future it should work
actually to reduce the cost of living.
The country has had enough of made
quate railroad service. car shortages
and freight embargOes, which have
held up business all around by delays
in deliveries of raw materials, forced
increased borrowing in a time of credit
scarcity. cut down production, thrown
men out of employment, and made
goods scarce at the points at which
they are wanted for consumption. Of
ficialdom is awakening to the gravity
of this problem. but the beIatedness of
the awakening has done great injury.

The chief thing that is the matter
with matrimony is dizziness. 1t is. the
husbands and wives who are bored to

THE PRIMARY ELECrIoN.

Early returns from Tuesdays state
wide primary election indicate that the
official service of Governor Allen.
Senator Curtis and Justice Dawson has
been approved by the Republican
voters of the state by substantial ma
jorities. Much of the opposition to
these gentlemen manifested in the vot-
ing probably came from those who are
not affiliated with the party Doubt
less thousands of votes were cast for
the opponents of these candidates, not
because the voter loved such oppo-
nents more but because they loved the
men named above less.
Many voters make of the primary,
not an opportunity to vote for a IA
vorite candidate, but one to vote
against a man whom they do not like.
1t has been made evident that there is
an element among the voters of Kan
sas that is willing to vote for anybody
to beat Allen.
There were men running for nomi-
nation on the Republican ticket Tues
day who could not have obtained a
look-in at a convention of the party.
AL over the state voters were casting
their ballots for men they knew moth
ing about. and men who had not been
recommended to them even by a ward
caucus.
