 'On the last day of the fiscal period of the four years of my administra- tion and the first day of Governor Brandons September 30 and October 1, respectively, the site of Alabama was in the best of financial condition. On January Is, when I stepped out and Governor Brandon stepped in office. there was no material change.
 There is not the slightest reason for the alarm and panic that seems to have seized some folks at Mont gomery. Nor is there any reason whatever for the levy of special taxes on commodities for the general fund, that is, for general purposes, as is proposed in the case of gasoline. Such a special tax would not be justified on the plea that the general fund needs any special or extraordinary assis- tance.
 Just as early as possible I shall issue statement concerning the states finances, giving some interest ing detailed information on the sub feet"
