Answer These
Questions,
Commissioner

But for the vote of Howard
Ennis in the last session of the
Legislature, Commissioner of
Agriculture Browns wings
would have been clipped. The
House bill cutting Browns in
spectors from 1856 to 8 was de-
teated in the Senate when Presi-
dent of the Senate Ennis cast his
vote, breaking the tie. But
Brother Brown inning is not
the last. The next Legislature
will accomplish what the 1925
sessions failed to do, and it is
we'll to keep in mind the reasons
why the Brown machine should
be busted higher than a kite.
In Tom Hardwick's Free
Lance there appears a series of
questions propounded by C. F.
Hunnicutt, which Editor Hard
wick asks Commissioner Brown
to answer. The questions are
these:
/. Why did you insist upon
1876 oil inspectors instead of six,
when South Carolina and Ala
bama do the same work with
three men?
2. If it was not to keep this
machine instact, why should you
have put the State to the expense
of an extra session of the Legis-
lature rather than yield to the
bill as passed by the House?
3. If you are not trying to
build a "big political machine"
why do you give these oil inspec-
ton appointments to lawyers,
doctor, dentists, newspaper edi-
tors and well known local politi-
clans instead of to men allied
with farming interest of the
State?
A. If it is not to build "big
political machine" why do you
make nearly every inspector
whose office yields as much as
800 per month divide $3.50 with
another politician?
S. Was it not to expand the
efficiency of your "big machine"
that you had your assistant,
Bridges, to make a tour of the
State and pledge every legislator
to support a certain appropria-
ton bill you had promised to
have passed? -A
s. Is it not a part of your big

To be sure. The same might be
said of college boys. There are too
many of them in college who have
no deep-rooted respect for learning,
and who might get more education

THIRTY YEARS AGO TO-DAY

(From The Times-RecOrder. Oct 8,
1850
In view of the action of the
county commissioners at their meet
ing on Monday it would appear that
there will be no change at least for
the present, in the plan of working
the county roads. The proposition
to work them with convicts is con
sidered impracticable owing to the
small number of prisoners in jail
and the great cost of adopting this
system. The plan proposed would
cost the county $205 per month
aside from the COT of an outfit.
which is estimated would cost @1,-
machine to keep three of your APP
pointees in special room at the
Kimball House all during the SEES
sions of the Legislature, whose
business it is to lobby for you?
7. If you are not trying to
build a "big political machine"
why did lou tell an applicant
from Commerce, Ca, for oil in
spector that you could not ap-
point him because the Legislator
from jackson county would not
endors chin?
8. Iisn't it true that you have
been using all your Inspector
places to tie on to you the Legis-
lators, so as to "render your big
machine" more effective?
9. You say that all your APP
pointments and duties are fixed
by the Facts of the Legislature"
but isn't it true that you have
been fixing the Legislature for
the past eight years?
10. Isn't it true that had You
been willing to have your oil in
spectors reduced to six, and your
fertilizer inspectors to ten and
cut out the bee inspectors office,
that you could have saved the
State enough money in the past
ClSHt years " pay IilS Olu COii-
federate soldiers all that is due
them?
II. Don't you think it is time
to cut expenses, instead of for
every thing to riase more taxes?

that South Carolina gets along

THE SHIPPING
BOARD PROBLEM

President Coolidge is reported as
astonished to discover that the
Shipping Board is an independent
body, responsible to nobody. He
proposes to make it responsible, or
else to ask Congress to abolish it,
and put something responsible in
its place.
The reason for this anomalous
situation is that the Shipping Board
was originally intended to be a
semi-judiciaI body, much like the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
and was naturally made independ-
emit.
But the war, with its venture Of
government manufacture, owner
ship and operation of ships, made
the board, with it's subsidiary, the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, an
administrative body, which ought to
have been attached to the executive
department.
The present method is illogical,
inefficient and irresponsible. If it
can not be cured by good-faith
carrying out of an informal agree
ment, it should be cured by law.
A division of Secretary Hoover's
department should run the ships. If
there are still regulatory functions,
calling for an independent board
persons should be appointed to that
board qualified for this response
bility.

No monthly bills to cover.

know more about monkeys than
men-particularly married wo-

Then, too, the dear creatures
of late years have been closely
associated with the monk, for,
truth to tell, there lots of these
so-called beaver and martin furs

That's downright generous of
Dave, for the Doc has said Just
about the same thing few days
