Show The Paper That Dares To Take A January 23, 1980 The Utah Independent ' Page 5 Stand ! . , . Continued from page 4 V V.-- ' Representation by classes (i.e., capital, labor, farmers and professionals) is substituted for representation by parties and the corporative state is a part of fascist dogma Now turning to the description of corporative state (page 660), we read: Economic system inaugurated by the Fascist regime of Benito Vy Mussolini .. .preserves the framework of capitalism. . .legisla- tion of 1926 and later years set up 22 guilds or associations of employees and employers to administer various sectors of the national economy. These were represented in the national council of corporations DAN MARRIOTT Chrysler Enslaved Chrysler is now an association of employees and employers and is represented (and managed) by a federal board composed of appointed bureaucrats. This is a clear example of corporative socialism. Perhaps more importantly, this is the way the control of the production and distribution of goods is to be melded into the federal bureaucracy and its system of Regional Governance. The federal bureaucracy already has general control over all aspects of health, education, welfare, labor, commerce, agriculture, housing and urban development, environment, energy, transportation, etc. Chrysler represents an example of direct control over one part of a specific industry . Fourth Branch of Government is the author of an article entitled "Recent EnRep. Danforth Quayle counters with the Fourth Branch," in which he says, "Our constitutional form of government, with its three separate but equal branches, has been radically changed with the emergence of the federal bureaucracy, a fourth branch of government more powerful than the three others. This unelected bureaucracy, which has the power to create regulations with the force of law. . . .employs a task force of 2.9 million people in civilian capacities. They are responsible and administering 2,040 for spending $458 billion annually (1979 figure-ed- .) domestic programs . This means one out of every six Americans works for the federal, government, whereas in 1935 one out of every 204 was employed at the federal level.. .The bureaucrats staff 11 major cabinet positions, 59 agencies and more than 1 ,200 boards and advisory commissions. .. our government pays over 84,700 people to do nothing but regulate its citizens. Their job responsibility' requires them to study products, situations or conditions which the government wants to.control. .Thermit is the. regulator s' duty to' write legislation to give the bureaucrats the control they desire. Bureaucrats are not interest7 ed in money, but only in the power to regulate and control." (unquote). In this context, Chrysler is a landmark case. Bureaucratic regulators, preorviously, controlled industries in general; now they control an industrial ganization in particular. In our government's drive toward total Corporative Socialism, it thus has progressed from the general to the specific., ECONOMY. ( (R-In- d.) The federal government will BORROW of its budget in the fiscal year or REFINANCE almost one-ha- lf of 1980, which began October 1. Treasury Secretary G. William Miller testified in a Senate hearing recently that the government will go into the money market for $260 billion" during FY80. Despite promises to balance the budget by 1981, the Administration is financing $60 billion in new debts and refinancing $200 billion in old debts. Federal spending for the year is projected at $548 billion. The amount borrowed is equal to 47.4 of total projected spending. This. will only add to the already heavy pressure on INTEREST RATES, which in turn discourages construction and economic growth. Since July the prime interest rate has climbed from As a result, mortgage lending has declined 34. to nearly 1 Down payment requirements for homebuyers have shot up to as much as 50 of the sale price. Mortgage interest rates have risen as high as 15 in some areas. Mortgage applications s. Homes that would have dropped by as much as usually sell within 2 to 3 weeks will be on the market for as long as 6 months. Also hard hit are SMALL BUSINESSES. They are finding it difficult to obtain an adequate amount of credit. The Small Business Administration is predicting that new small business starts and expansions that depend on credit will simply have to be postponed. In this Administration's first 1,000 days, inflation has gone from 4.8 to over 12. Taxes are almost double what they were in 1976 and are rising 43 faster than prices. The prime interest rate has skyrocketed from 6.84 toalmost 16. America's per capita income, 4th in the world three years ago, has dropped to 7th. I have some sound solutions to these and our other economic problems: FIRST, it is essential that we BALANCE THE FEDERAL BUDGET. Deficit spending is the government's major reason for printing more money and thus fueling inflation. SECOND, we must have a sound ENERGY policy. Most of the money leaving the U.S. goes to pay for oil. Let's keep that money here and put it into increasing our own production of new and reliable energy sources. 11-- 6. two-third- . . Regional Government Rep. Quayle says there once were three branches, now there is a fourth that is more powerful than all the rest. He might have added that there once were three types of government: Federal, State, and Local. Now there is a fourth, called Regional Government which is more powerful than the rest. In order to expand its power to regulate and control, this fourth branch of government has created a fourth type of governance. By dividing the Nation into Ten Federal Regions, each with its own capital city, these unelected bureaucrats can worm their way into every sphere of human activity to control and regulate. Now, in the case of Chrysler they can also manage, even hire and fire its executives, or force the sale of the entire establishment to a foreign buyer if the Bureau- - ' .. cratic Review Board thinks this desirable!

But up to this point, the Bureaucrats have been only partially successful. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was one of the first attempts to control the output of electricity. There was a great campaign to convert all power plants into, "public power" plants. But the utility resisted, successfully in most cases. President Truman tried to "nationalize", the steel industry, almost succeeded. Then. came the railroads, where government control has virtually destroyed a once great industry. The same can be said of maritime shipping. The "foot of the camel" got into the tent in the case of the aviation industry when Lockheed was granted an unusual subsidy. Now, with Chrysler, the whole camel has got into the automotive tent. .. 7 Energy Crisis a Collusion In this same relationthere is the constant reference to the probability that the whole energy crisis syndrome is the. result of corporative state collusion the Subrosa Government and the Seven Sisters oil cartel. There is the charge that independent oil producers are being "controlled or priced" out of existence.- The independent local banks could be next. L.T.
