millions of dollars in taxes. It was
with no thought that T. v. A. would
create jobless, workless hydroelectric
power to the destruction of many
thousands of jobs.
To all that I have been and shall
continue to be opposed. 1t is nothing
short of dishonesty for any govern
ment, in the exercise of the power to
tax, which is the power to destroy, to
lay the drastic hand of taxation upon
the burdened backs of the working
man and taxpayer and extract blood
money from them and turn around
and blight and destroy the jobs and
the business from which the tax money
is gathered. Later I shall point out
how this is being done.
Every man in public life and hum
dreds Of thousands of private citizens
know that during and Immediately
following the World War the Govern
ment constructed the Wilson Dam at
Muscle Shoals, in Northern Alabama,
and also the large Sheffield steam
plant for the production of electricity
to run the mammoth nitrate plants
constructed and now standing silently
by, and which were constructed under
the war power of the Congress for
the production and manufacture of
war munitions. The Sheffield steam
plant was intended as standby aux
1llary to the hydro plant installed in
Wilson Dam because it was recognized
by Congress and the Wilson admin
istration that the flow of the Tennes-
see River was not sufficient to operate
the Wilson Dam hydro plant full time,
and that the river was subject to the
certainties of droughts and result
ant inadequate stream flow. while the
steam plant could be relied upon not
only to meet the shortages sure to
occur at the dam, but to operate with
regularity and certainty as long as the
coal producers of Alabama, Tennessee
and Kentucky could produce from the
inexhaustible and unlimited coal de-
posits of those States coal with which
to run the steam plant.

I. Y. A. PROGRAM
ASSA|LED BY MAY
Loss of Jobs Is Faced by
Thousands as Result,
Kentuckian Says.

Following is the text of an address
on THE Tennessee Valley Authority,
It's Administration and the Need for
a Congressional Investigation" de-
livered by Representative Andrew j.
May of Kentucky last night in the
National Radio Forum, arranged by
The Star and broadcast over Nation-
wide network of the National Broad
casting Co.:
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
BY invitation of The Washington
Star, and through the courtesy of the
National Broadcasting Co., am privi-
American people and tell my constitu-
ents and the public at large why
have opposed the program of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority and my reason
for still opposing many of its activities
under the authority of the Federal
Government.
I have been a member of tn House
Military Affairs Committee since I
first came to Congress in 1881 and was
member of that committee at the
time the basic act creating the Ten
nessee Valley Authority was written
and framed by the committee. 1t was
written and reported to the House
after many weeks Of extended hearings
and after the corporation had been set
up, the directors appointed and the
work was well under way it came
back to the House Military Affairs
Committee in 1885 for an enlargement
and wide extension of its powers and
authority. The original act was the
answer to an agitation which began
with the construction of the Wilson
Dam and the nitrate plants for ma
tional defense purposes during and
following the World War, and the
authority of the Federal Congress to
enact such legislation was upon the
constitutional theory that the Federal
Government had and has no power to
engage in business within the States
except and only in furtherance of the
war powers of the Congress under
authority of the commerce clause of
the Constitution which authorizes the
Federal Government to develop for
navigation purposes interstate streams,
thus to regulate commerce in the sew
eral States. 1t was upon this idea
and with this view that the Congress
felt that the activities of the T. " A.
should be limited to these Constitu-
tional functions Of national defense
and commerce between the States.
Direct Competition.
It was upon that theory that the
bill was reported and acted into law.
There was no idea, thought or intent
that the corporation thereby created
would go out and engage with Federal
funds in direct and destructive COM
petition with tWo-an@ indirectly
third-of the great basic job-giving,
pay roll-building, taxpaying industries.
It was not with any idea, thought or
intent that this Federal corporation
would engage unnecessarily in spend
ing many millions of taxpayers dol
lars in deliberate and carefully
planned effort to annihilate those very
industries which form an important
segment in the economic backbone of
the Nation, creating hundreds of thou
sands of jobs and earning revenues
from which the Federal and State gov
ernments assess many hundreds of

War the question was debated from
time to time in both Houses of Con-
gress and the argument always was
that these great investments, the Will
son Dam, Sheffield steam plant and
the nitrate plants, that cost more than
$3.50 100000. were a waste and an
utter loss to the Government unless
rehabilitated and operated for the
production of fertilizer for farmers
in peacetime and for war munitions
in wartime.
Is it not strange that notwithstand-

money the Tennessee Valley Authority
has already expended in the Tennessee

CONF US|ON ARISES
ON TRAFFIC LAWS
Motorists Unable To Com
prehend Variations in
Many Regulations

Charlotte, Jan. 19-The confusion
created by conflicting state traffic
laws appeared to be worse this year
than ever before, according to a re-
port to Coleman w. Roberts, president
Of the Carolina Motor club, from Anne
rican Automobile Association head
quarters, which has just completed
compilation of its 1928 Digest of
Motor Laws.
I'm the matter of drivers licenses
alone there is an amazing lack of uni
for.nity,' M. Roberts said "Some
states do not require any license at
all; in some the licenses are good
permanently, and in others the IL
censes are good for various periods
ranging from one to three years. Fees
charged range from nothing at all to
$500 or more. Some states require
examinations; others require driving
tests; some require both, and others
require neither.
Hand signals are another source
OF confusion to the travelling motor:st.
Some states do not require hand G.
mails. In many states the arm ex-
tended horizontally means that the
motorist intends to make a left turn,
and in others it means that he intends
to stop or slow down. To indicate a
right turn in most states the motorist
must hold his arm upward; in others
he must rotate his hand in circle;
in still others, he must extend his
ann horizontally.
