World. and fear was his teacher. He
was almost constantly afraid of some
thing. and because he was afraid he
avoided dangers that otherwise he
might have stepped right into. It
was thus that he learned what many
OF the dangers were and so what to
watch out for In the future. Seeing
Mrs. Marsh Hawk catch a Meadow
Mouse taught him that there might
be q danger from the air, something
he never had dreamed of. So now he
was constantly watching for danger
from above al, well as from other
directions.
1t was the very next day that for
the first time, the little Rabbit saw
one of his NEST dangerous neigh

that Reddy was dangerous. You see,
there was no one to tell him 80.
But he did have that same feeling"
that had warned him not to 20 out

TALLAHASSEE, Nov. Into
the tempest created by the COVER
nor's suggestion that State oper-
ating expenses be paid by trans.
ferring funds--ineIuding transfers
from such funds as the confed-
crate pension fund-State Comp
trolIer J. M. Lee hurled bomb of
assurance to beneficiaries under
special funds, that seems to some
what clarity the situation.
"There will be no diversion of
moneys from those for whose
benefit the legislature levied the
taxes" the comptroller stated in
unequivocable language. "When
taxpayers are asked to pay taxes
for a specific purpose, it is my
constitutional duty as comptroller
to see that the funds go to that
purpose. And il the legislature
does not levy the taxes to take
care of certain functions of the
state government, it is not ouI
duty to take the money from spe-
cial funds to do what the legis-
lature declined to do.
at is just as improper to di-
vert funds raised for Confederate
pensions as it Is to divert funds
raised for road building. / have
previously made my position clear
on this latter diversion and
want it distinctly understood thai
as far as it is in my power te
prevent same, there viii be no di-
version of pension funds either
Confederate or old age assist
ance, nor teachers salary moneys
eff salaries of state officials
can't be paid, we can wait unit
the legislature provides a way
and that goes for my salary al
well as the others.
"To sum it up simply and il
very plain language, ! will no
approve any transfers that diver
any moneys needed to carry GU
the purposes for which the taxes
were levied"
ITO insure availability of these
special funds when needed, no
ever temporary loans will be up
proved by me except upon resolu
tons that provide for automatic
repayment from assured income
that is to be available before spe
cial funds need the money. There
viii be no raids upon special funds
for the benefit Of the genera
fund unless / am required to max.
them BY the Supreme Court o.
our State"
