In Nazi's Death

VIENNA, July 19.-(UP) -
Former King Alfonso XIII, Of
Spain, was cleared of responsible
itv yesterday in connection with
a motor accident last night in
which a young Nazi writer was
killed.
Alfonso was driving his own
Ford car in a suburb of Vienna,
when DR.. Carl Smetna was
thrown in front of him. He was
unable to stop and his car ran
down and killed DR.. Smetna.
The tragedy occurred when DR..

guests of a Swedish travelling
salesman, Karl Oppen-Petersen,
and his sister. Helene, of Copen-

"When IVA commenced to
create power, they, of course, had
to find a load for the plant when
the government built it, and they
found this load, not at all by de-
veloping it themselves, but by
taking it away from companies al
ready distributing power.
"When it took the load away
from these plants already serving
the territory, it did not aid the
unemployment situation-it mere
ly shifted it from one point to
another.
Gone other thing the govern
ment tried to do. was to persuade
the residents of the Tennessee
valley to increase the amount Of
money they spent every month
for electricity. and so they organ
lied another authority,
Through this authority the
government persuaded, or re-
quired the consent somehow or
other of the manufacturers of
electrical devices, to produce a
device that was cheaper than
those they had heretofore pro
duced, and had on sale in retail
stores.
Gin spite of the keen compe-
tition in this field, the manufac-
turers consented. and the govern
ment arranged that these devices
be put on the market bearing the
stamp of the IVA.
"When it came to placing these
devices on the market, the gov
eminent again exercised its un-
limited power and control and
stipulated the price at which
they were to be sold, terms and
CARRYING charges, and all other
purchasing factors incident to the
sale of these devices.
NO END IN SIGHT
"When it did that, the govern
ment got clear away from what
was the object of creating the
TVA-to aid unemployment-and
started competition with utility
companies and retail merchants
handling electrical devices, and
who knows where they are going
to stop. ae-
"Now there may be many re-

tailers who think that this is only
interesting to those merchants
handling electrical devices, such
as stoves, washing machines,
ranges, ice boxes and other ap.
pliances, but isn't it reasonable to
suppose that, if the government
can commence active competition
with the dealers cf these COM
modities, they could GO still fur
Their and commence the manufac-
ture and retailing of furniture,
rugs, clothing, or anything else
that the retailer handles?
eve retailers ought to be
alarmed about this, but unforGun-
ately we are not. While we stress
some quite unimportant points IN
our codes, and debate over trivl-
alities, this major hazard to retail
business goes on unprotected.
GAS stated, IVA needs mar
ket for the power it Is creating.
This can be secured only through
the establishing of manufacturing
plants in the valley.
"Where are these plants COM
ing from, if not from the indus
trial east and textile centers of
the Piedmont Carolinas? And can
you imagine anything quite so
stupid as enticing away these
manufacturing establishments; the
customers of privately owned util-
tiles, to the valley where they can
be supplied subsidized power by
millions of taxpayers money.
"These governmentally operat-
ed utilities pay no taxes, and
there is no control over the price
they pay for labor; yet all of the
money that has been put into this
IVA has been collected from the
citizens of these United States
without respect to their places of
residence"

patriotic citizens originally ap.

ment project, but find now that
there is a rising tide of objection
to it, due to the fact that it is

our public utilities and dfstribu-
tive trades.
ABSCLVES PRESIDENT
president Roosevelt must not
be charged with the responsibility
of this, because he cannot nersOnr
ally direct every bureau that Is
set up.
"The citizens of the country are
responsible for it, and it Is neces-
sary for them to point out to the
President where any of his hu-
reaus are encroaching upon the
rights of citizens, as this one Is
undoubtedly doing.
"The government, when it en-
tiers business, does not contine
itself to the lawful restrictions
placed Upon business done by its
citizens. The government pays no
tax, and it should not, so long as
it stays within it's governmental
function, but it undoubtedly
should when it completes with Its
citizens i'm business. The govern
ment observes no codes OF no
ruIes with respect to labor, and
it should not. so long as it stays
within it's governmental duties,
but it should observe the same
codes and the same rules with re-
spact to labor as it cOmpelS ITS
citizens to do, whenever it COM
petes with these same citizens OF
the United States who pay all the
taxes which make the government
possible.

nue. except what it takes from its
citizens in the form of taxes. In
return for these taxes the govern
mept should perform only such
functions that the citizen is not
able to perform for himself. such
as national security, security of
property, and security of life.
Originally taxes were placed
high enough only to meet the
more or less simple requirements
of the government with respect to
health. safety, and other legiti-
mate functions, and no one ever
thought that our American gov
eminent would levy taxes to put
that government in competition
