KARL IIINMAN Ihone: Farmington the TVA area they are finding out that the socialists' pay-l- y pain ted. word pictures of what happens when government gbes into business dont exactly Jibe with the facts produced by hard expeDown in rience. Every time TVA, a government business venture, takes over private property, that property is removed from the tax rolls. And the TVA pays next to nothing in taxes itself, by comparison with what was paid by the private power companies it has absorbed. The result is that state and local units of government have been trying, unsuccessfully, to make both ends meet without soaking the remain- ing taxpayers. A considerable number of public officials in Tennessee are now demanding that Congress pass a law removing TVAs tax immunity. And the Georgia legislature Jiaa passed two bills attempting to give taxing bodies the right to tax federal property engaged in proprietary business in competition with private enterprise. Now it apepars, according to eminent lawyers, that these efforts are likely to prove all in vain. There is no" precedent whereby congress could give states the right to tax Federal property and even if Congress did pass such a law there are grave doubts as to its constitutionality. And the same legal experts .are convinced that Georgias laws will never survive attack in the (federal courts. S6 the Southeast is learning that it cant have its cake and eat it too. This same problem is faced by every section where government projects compete with heavily-taxe- a private enterprise.

According to the press dispatch telling of - this, it was obvious that the most strenuous methods were used by - officials to get out the largest possible vote. Those who have watched the . technique of dictatorship can judge . what those methods were you sup- - . port the man in the saddle or else. And this little event, while it didn't make the headlines, is a biting commentary on what happens when the people surrender their rights and liberties to ironclad political rule. No one attempts to win over the opposition by argument, as in a democratic nation after all, machine guns, exile and brutal persecution are temporarily more effective instruments for keeping in power. The man who raises his voice in dissent gets short shrift indeed. Here is America we pride ourselves on the fart that we may still speak our mind that no man is master of our destinies that the forces of dictatorship have been kept firmly in leash. But pride in this is not enough. It cannot too often be repeated that the price of is eternal vigilance at home. liberty X can unconsciously surrender rights until one day we awake to realize, too late, that liberty is gone. America watches events abroad with wonder and horror. Let America also learn from them.
