A dictator and tyrant can al
ways be sure OF one thing-soon-

knife, toss a bomb or fire a pistol

Laval, Vichy's whitetied boss.
Five attempts have been made
on the life of the man who holds
the titles of Chief of Government,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, In
terror and Propaganda-four of
the tries in the last two years.

Alright, says Henry, if you
are trying to work up to some
thing. what is it," It is the way,
1 says, we are neglecting our
thinking and letting somebody
else do it for us-while we tune
in and just listen.
We would need ears big as a
palm leaf to hear everything. so
maybe you did not hear the lat
est advice just given the farmers,
telling them that for best results,
a cow, in the summertime should
have plenty of green grass and
cool water. Yep-that is what the
dispatch said. Imagine the farm
ers and their wives, and how ex-
cited they must be, getting this
news. Grass and water for COW

obviously there can be no rea-
son for the 1945 legislature to over
ride your veto as the biennium

provisions you apparently intend
to veto set up for the first time
in this States history budgetary
control and require all expendi-
lures to be classed so as to enable
the next legislature to locate and
segregate waste and extravaganza
and thereby provide for the much
needed economies in future ex-
penditures.
1T is our studied opinion and
of the Senate conference commit
tee that there is ample moneys APP
propriated for the Comptroller to
enable him. to properly comply
with the requirements of the pro-
visions of the appropriations bill
which are, of paramount impor-
lance to the people of Florida who
we believe are almost unanimous
ly in favor of budgetary control

know in some instances became
needlessly excessive in recent
years.
IF it is only a question OF book
keeping machines, these ma
chimes now owned by TIE State
could be operated in two shifts as
is being done in war industries.
1t is also our studied opinion that
you are exceeding your constitu-
tional authority if you veto pro-
visions referred to in the press
which are not items of appropria-
tions. This being the tenth day af-
ter adjournment, you can still act
to correct this grave error of using
your position to override the al
most unanimous opinion of the
House and the concurrence of the
Senate and we again urge you to
withhold your veto of the So
called House Philosophy and al
10y these provisions to become

TOO LATE TO
CLASSIFY

Probably the most far reaching
and constructive piece of legisla-
lion attempted by the 1913 legis-
lature was the House Appropria-
tons Bill which Chairman T. B.
Dowda and his able committee
brought out after weeks of con-
scientious study and effort.
Under its terms, continuing APP
preparations would be done away
with and the state expenditures
would be placed under strict
scrutiny and budgetary control for
the first time in history.
Z Senate and House battled for
days thru joint conference COM
mittee before an agreement was
reached and while some features
of the House bill were changed, in
the main it was still capable of
effecting worthwhile economies
and its sponsors contend would
have set up machinery that in flu
ture years would safeguard the in
terests of citizens and taxpayers.
When word came from Talla-
hassee last weekend that Cover
nor Holland proposed to veto not
only certain figures but large
portion of the regulatory pro-
visions contained in the bill,
Chairman Dowda and Represent
tative jenkins telegraphed the
Governor as follows:
Regret to read press reports
in Sunday papers regarding your
veto of portions of biennial appro-
priations bill referred to as the
House Philosophy
AS chairman of the House APP
preparations General Committee
and Chairman of the sub-commit-
tee on Continuing Appropria-
tons and as citizens and taSpay-
ers, we respectfully urge that you
reconsider your decision and re-
frain from vetoing these pro-
visions for the following reasons:
"The House Appropriations Bill
was passed by a vote of 81 to 6 af-
ter long and careful consideration
by the general and special COM
mittees any many other members
OF the House, which we believe
is ample evidence that the So
called Philosophy of the House
was not a hasty or i'll advised plan.
THE Brookings report and 9TH
er studies show that approximate
ly $lO,000,000 of the States annual
expenditures are under legisla-
tive scrutiny and budgetary con-
troll and approximately S7O,00O,-
0OOO are under political patronage
and bureaucratic control. The
House Philosophy is well con-
sidered plan to return control of
all state expenditures to legisla-
tive control and scrutiny which is
clearly the intent of the Florida
Constitution.

cry time the Administration re-

When the President established
the Office of War Mobilization,
it was conceded here that it was
no more than a reShuffle of the

exception. That exception was, of
course, Justice Fred NJ. Vinson of

appeals. why Vinson2" asked o

easy.
Vinson, as member of the spe-
ciaf court to hear price-fixing APP
peals Che was appointed by Chief
Justice Stonel made judicial his
tory with his opinion holding that
a Brooklyn bank couldn't up the
rental on safety deposit boxes.
Although he admitted that the
Price Control Act was "a breath
taking legislative departure from
our peacetime economic policy, $
he hewed TO the letter of the law.
He went further. He admitted that
the rental on safety deposit boxes
was "a milligramic weight" in
the cosfof living, but he opined
that only by holding these min
ute quanta' could the catastrophe
of initiation, be averted.
That opinion alone was enough
TO endear him to the Administers
ton and earn him the appoint
ment of director of economic sta
bilization. If his predecessor James
F. Byrnes, is right (and Byrnes
certainly had a hand in drawing
up the OWN executive order),
WILSON'S job will continue to be
one of a court of appeals in all
matters affecting the nations

things to remember about Fred
