CHARC[8 BY HARRIS About Appropriations -tComlissioni er's Department Must Make ''sti mate or Ie Above Law. COLU MI IA, Jan. 23.---Direct of ficial conflict between Governor Cooper, as chairman of the South Car olina budget -omnission, and H1. 1Har ris, commissioner of agriculture, com merce and industries, has been engen dcred by certain curtailnents in the oflice of the latter recommended by the commission to the General Assem bly. The brIget connission failed to recommend anl appwopriation for the statistical clerk, two assistant (hem ists and two inspector.s of the lepar t ment, all of which t.ere to r'ceivye salaries of $180(1 -each. Act wa WOs in cfl'ect an advocacy of te aiolit in or these positions. lin addition, the 's t ilmate expensos for tite conduct of the depar-tment for the year 1920 were reduced from $: !8,200(1 to $1:1,800. In his .eneral recommendations, the (overnor suge'ste'I that al1 moneys expended by anly State deparlfen t would bec by dir"ctl, sp~eenite appropria tion. This depatIlmecnt, as opel'ated at present. if not limited inl its ex pn's(es nor its specific appropriation made for the( majority of its activi ties, its expenses are paid out of the fe collected by it. In answer to, a letier written yesterday by ('omm is sioner l arris to W. R. Bradford, chairman of the ways and means comn nittee of the Ilouse of Representa tives, inl which the right of the budget commlissilll to make suggestions of curtailment in his department is cOn tested, Governor Cooper tonight gave out a detailed statement in which the commissioner is taken to task for his communication. Governor Answers Hiarris The Governor says that. unless the department of Mr. IHarris is above the law it must furnish detailed financial infornlation to the governor, despite the commissioner's assertion that it co'lncedes the right of the budget. commission to request appropriations. The Governor takes the position that. the present force of seventeen at taches of the department, including the Com)i01issioner, is suflicienit to maintain the department, but he is willing to be corrected. Ho, however, says that if Mir. Hiarris has a griev once against the btudget ()111mSSion he should have taken it to the (GeneraI Assembly anl not to the people o(f the State. The Governor takes shaip issue with the statement of the com m11issioner relative to the r"ecommedla tions of appripriations for the func tions of the executive's office, and says that iMr. ia0rris' sta telent that the violation of the prohibition law only afl'ects a1 few hundred persons is I news; to him. The (;ove'nor,'s state lent. follows: "I regret that .\br.

'wufd have been to lay this mater before a committee of the General Assembly with full infprmation, so that the injury don, the department might be corrected, rather than an appeal to the people of the State. It is cer tainly not my desire to restrict any (lepartment of the State government, but I ove it to the people of the State, who have honored me with their confidence, to see to it also that pub lie funds are not spent unless nec essary. Fourth Complaint "In the t fourth complaint, it is stated, 'I have observed with some in terest that the two department of the State government which are clos est to the budget commission namely, the governor's office and the com troller general's ollice are of the of flees which 'lave been served most generously at the laands of the com mission.' "Upon this point, I have no com ment, except in so far as it parallels the work of my own office. For in stance, the governor's office is given $75,00( for the law enforcement in 1920 although the statements of that 'lice show that less than $20,000 ras used in 1919 and it is a well known fact that the federal government will assist in law enforcement in this State in 1920. I am assuming however, that the Governor is right in asking for this large amount of money for his office. He knows the requirements and his is the responsibility. But if he needs that large sum for the en forcement of a liquor law, the vio lations of which affect only a few I hundred persons, why should this (e partment be denied sufficient funds for - the enforcement of several protective to laws committed to it, laws that affect fully 75 per cent of our people. e "The commissioner does not do me the justice to state that I did not participate in the recommendations for the Governor's office, nor does he state that the $75,000 is for the en fforcement of al flaws of the State, incltding the game and fish laws. Prac it tically $56,000 was spent (luring the past year in the enforcement of th'' * fish and game laws. lie is also in error in stating that less than $20.000 bl ARE YOU NERVOUS ?
