Government will cost billions more, will local pre-em- pt programs, and will create more federal bureaucracy. Third: Constitutionally, Mr. Lloyd knows, or should know, that Congress does not have authority to establish a federal welfare program. James Madison, often referred to as the Father of the Constitution, wrote in a letter I dated January 21, 1972: consider the idea that Congress has unlimited power to provide for the general welfare as subverting the fundamental and characteristic principle of the Government; as contrary to the true and fair, as well as the received construction, and as bidding defiance to the sense in which the Constitution is known to have been proposed, advocated, and adopted.

Congress had President Franklin D. Roosevelt recognized in an address March 2, 1930: As a matter of fact and law, the governing rights of the States are all of those which have not been surrendered to the National Government by the Constitution or its amendments. Washington must not be encouraged to interfere ... in a great number of vital problems of government, such as the conduct of public utilities, of banks, of insurance, of business, of agriculture, of education, of social welfare, and of a dozen other important features.

The May 1972 Readers Digest pointed out that, Rather than being a cure for unemployment, deficit financing is just the reverse.

Lloyd voted Yes to this grant of authority, which conservatives CONTROLS Besides being unconstitutional, controls comprise a deceptive solution to inflation. These controls were sold to the public as the only way to stop businesses and unions from raising prices and wages. Really it was big government and its deficit spending that was causing the inflation. The only effective, worthwhile controls are on government spending. President Nixon has said, There is not a documented case in which wage price controls ever had any significant effect on inflation. WAGE-PRIC- WAGE-PRIC- E wage-pric- e work for less government.

EXTENSION OF SURTAX We must reduce government spending and taxes. President Nixon in 1968 called the surtax the Johnson Wartax and promised repeal if elected. The Libery Amendment, already passed by 7 states, would reduce federal spending to that authorized by the Constitution and thus cut spending 50 percent, and would thereafter repeal the graduated income tax and reduce revenue 43 percent.

This bill establishes the notorious Family Assistance Plan or guaranteed income ($2400 per year), which w'as hitched to Social Security to assure passage. Lloyd voted Yes on this bill. GUARANTEED INCOME (WELFARE) Congress does not have authority under the Constitution to use public funds for federal welfare. Furthermore, taking tax money and giving it to special groups is as much an act of robbery as if a single individual takes money by force for the benefit of another. I would vote No on a guaranteed income bill. Archie Davis, President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, says that HR 1 (guaranteed income) has the seeds within it to destroy our private economy.
