This is one of the illustrations which you
|
|
2
|
have to deal with in the attempt to use school moneys
|
|
3
|
for other purposes, and I think the retirement system
|
|
4
|
is in a sense school money, although not part of the
|
|
5
|
educational fund itself. And we have this experience
|
|
6
|
in two other directions. One is the gasoline tax.
|
|
7
|
There is a tendency once in a while to divert it from
|
|
8
|
its main purpose, and also in the national government
|
|
9
|
in the highway funds , you have a tendency to divert
|
|
10
|
those funds which are directed to a particular purpose.

So, I would address my remarks to this and
|
|
12
|
then generally and simply say that I would endorse, I
|
|
13.
|
think, everything that Dr. Pullen said. I would empha-
|
|
14
|
size the matter of this control by the legislature in
|
|
15
|
this, as being representative of the people. I told
|
|
16
|
Dr. Cook back there, I think Dr. Henry Cooper, who was
|
|
17
|
a professor of political science in Princeton, several
|
|
18
|
years ago when all this dated back to putting tremendous
|
|
19
|
authority in the hands of the governor, he sounded a
|
|
20
|
warning way back there that this was a tendency for one
|
|
21
|
person to control or a few people to control the State.
