tiplied millions Of dollars per year, and
produce product that would provide
additional millions Of dollars for the
empty pay envelopes OF the thousands
OF railroad employees who would other
wise be on the list Of unemployed and
maybe some Of them on Harry Hop
kins' relief rolls. The coal they would
produce would bring back to the COM
munities where produced other mil
lions of dollars to go around and
around in the marts of trade and COM
merce and make happy the wives and
children OF the men who work in and
around the mines; to create business,
to produce taxes with which to con-
struct and maintain churches, schools,
roads and homes in the communities
that have not yet surrendered to the
beneficent influence Of the central
Government in Washington. All this
time the placid waters that flow
through Norris Dam roll on to the
sea, without the aid Of single hu-
man being. During all this time the
railroads, our greatest transportation
facility, would be engaged in trans
porting these millions of tons of coal
that will produce millions OF dollars
in revenue to their needy treasures
and perhaps save the Government
from having to take them over.
And Norris Dam is but one, and far
from the largest, Of IL gigantic dams
now planned by the T. v. A.
The only possible justification for
spending this money is that hydro
power will be cheaper-so much cheap
er, in fact, as to justify the enormous
social and economic waste involved in
the injury to the coal, railroad and
private utility industries. But that is
not the fact. BY the testimony of the
administration own experts, coal is
so much more economical and eff
cient as to render obsolete most Of the
hydroelectric plants in this country
today.
Built Out of Earnings.
Thus our Federal Government pro-
poses a subsidized power policy in
competition with a $4,000, 1000, 900 coal
industry, s14,oOO,OOO,oOo power in
dustry and a $4,000, 900 900 railroad
industry, each of which are rich
sources OF revenue to Federal, State
and local governments, and without
the revenue from which our tax bas-
ket would be minor affair. These
great industries, every one of which
are vital to our economic freedom, are
built out Of the earnings of millions OF
our people of the common class, whose
industry. thrift and frugality has made
it possible for them to furnish the
capital with which to promote and
create these great business concerns.

than $500, ,000, 900, and in the face of
such reckless and wanton waste of
money they have had the audacity
recently to come before the House
Appropriations Committee with a re-
quest for an appropriation Of $112,-
600, 900 additional for the commence
ment of the construction of what is
known as the "Gilbertsville Dam" in
Western Kentucky. What does it all
mean? 1t means that when all these
dams have been completed, and Gill
bertsville, If ever built, they will have
submerged and put out of use forever
more than a million acres of the most
fertile and productive lands in the
Tennessee Valley. They will have
taken out Of taxation in over 40 coun-
ties all this valuable, taxable property
and will have left on the adjacent
hillsides and mountains along the Ten
nessee River, subject to wash, waste
and erosion Of soil to fill up and de-
stroy in the next 30 to so years, every
one of these dams in order that a few
dreamers Of dreams and socialists may
show the world what they can do with
unlimited amounts Of money expended
at their own will and pleasure.
The House Of Representatives re-
fused to authorize the construction of
Gilbertsville Dam, but it went to an
other body and was there inserted in
the legislation, which admittedly
would require not only the expenditure
Of a minimum sum of $4,000, ,OOO
Evening star., 1938-04-05

but in all probability from $3.50, ,00O, 900
to $200,000000 If this dam is con-
structed 1t will be nearly 5000 feet
long and will submerge and destroy
five towns and cities and require the
relocation of $500 families aggre-
eating population of approximately
$4,000 people, and will require the
relocation and removal of $500 dead
bodies. A worse performance than
the action Of all the ghouls Of all
history in order that 10000 additional
kilowatts Of electricity may be pro.
duced to suit the fancy of David e.
Lilienthal, the power director Of the
T. v. A.
Displacement Of jobs.
The United Mine Workers news.
papers assert that this dam alone with
its workless, jobless power will displace
and permanently throw on the relief
rolls of the State of Kentucky 1000
coal miners and railroad workers.
which proportionately means 1900
heads Of families from my own district
alone. At this point might add that
with the ultimate production Of TO-
600 900 kiloWatt hours of workless
energy T. v. A, will displace the jobs
of $3.50 miners and railroad workers
within the blighting area Of trans
mission.
What else does it do? 1t will sub.
merge and destroy 166 miles of hard
surfaced highway for which the tax

miles Of Transmission lines constructed
by the T. v. A., reaching across noun
tains and along the fertile valley Of
the Tennessee River, paralleling the
lines and systems Of five great South
ern power companies to destroy them
by subsidizing Federal competition,
while thousands of coal miners in my
district and adjoining coal fields beg
aims at the scrip Office of the coal
company or 60 upon relief either from
their own union or from the public
relief organization to ward off starva-
ton from their loved ones am in
tensely interested in the economic
welfare and general prosperity of the
people Of my district and while am
on this phase of the subject desire
to show how vitality and seriously the
T. v. A. program is affecting and will
affect the coal industry, and therefore
my constituents whose economic life
Is almost wholly dependent upon the
production Of bituminous coal.
Some may ask how can the T. v. A.
affect the market for coal from the
seventh congressional district Of Ken
lucky, when 1t operates in another
State or area. Do I have to tell my
constituents that less than per cent
Of all Of the 20,000,0OO tons Of coal
produced in my district annually is
sold within that community? think
not. The coal from my district finds
its market and is sold in other States
and in the Dominion Of Canada.
Every time coal al-consuming plant that
produces steam-generated electricity is
shut down and replaced by hydroelec-
tricity, to that extent the market for
coal is destroyed, and every time the
Federal Government or any local mu-
nicipality constructs dam for the
production and distribution of elec-
tricity they not only reduce the con-
sumption of coal as producer OF
power. but make available a greater
supply Of electricity subsidized by Fed
eral taxes to compete with coal as a
fuel This is all the more alarming
and even distressing when We realize
that hydro DAMS such as the Govern
ment has constructed and is con-
structing in the Tennessee and other
rivers, are not labor employing
projects.
Cost of Norris Dam.
To illustrate, the Norris Dam on
Clinch River, now complete and in
operation, cost the taxpayers of the
United States $38 900, 900 and employs
less than 20 men in its operation
With the same money you can con-
struct 38 100000 coal plants with
housing facilities and equipment for
the employment for an average 24O
days per year of approximately 10000
men, whose wages would run into null

I shall never cease In my efforts to
protect them. q
The activities of the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority have been carried by the
members of the board to such wide
extent, and 10 far-reaching as to be-
come the most stupendous wasting and
spending institution in all history and
it has become so notorious that the
chairman Of the board, from within,
has publicly In the press and else
where denounced the majority of the
board for their wasteful extravaganza
and for their vicious policies, which
has resulted in the enactment by the
Congress Of resolution for its inves-
tigation. AS evidence OF their reckless
expenditure of the peoples money,
call attention to the fact that last
year alone they expended for gasoline
for the operation Of passenger cars
for their employees $l90,379. which,
figured at 10 cents per gallon, the price
they claim to have paid and probably
did pay, meant 1908, ,790 gallons of
gasoline. II used in Ford or Chev-
rolet car, they ought to get Is miles
per gallon as a minimum, and that
would mean they travelled on that
quantity Of gasoline 28,556, $50 miles,
and If they used the gasoline. and
none of it is on hand, that means they
have Travelled $3.50 miles per day for
300 days in the year, and If, as we
have always been taught, it is approxi-
mately $4,000 miles around the world,
1t means they Travelled each day as
much as four times around the entire
world. and at that rate, for 800 days,
you bet they have been going some!
Continued Appropriations.
As evidence OF the fact that the
directors Of the T. v. A. have not only
engaged in many wild and unauthor-
lied expenditures Of money, but they
have ignored and f1outed the will of
the Congress In refusing to report to
the Congress, as directed by the legis-
lation which created the Authority in
the original act, and at the time of
the enactment of the original legisla-
ton it was believed that $50,000,000
would be sufficient to accomplish the
purposes for which the Authority was
organized, and the act itself contains
provision authorizing the Authority
to issue s50,0Oo.00O in 31a per cent
bonds, both principal and interest of
which is fully guaranteed by the Fed
eral Government under the provisions
Of the act, and yet they have kept
coming to the Congress and demanding
and receiving vast appropriations Of
money, now far beyond 5000, ,000, 900,
and have begun the construction Of
seven dams. several Of which are al
ready completed. which will, as ad-
mitted by the corporation, cost more
