And Solar Energy Research Corp. of Denver (OTC .20, .23) hopes to have that unit and claim a royalty on each one built. That, according to executives of the firm, is what the company can provide now, a working solar heating system built with readily available materials. The kicker is that the to company has the know-honot only the list of provide necessary materials, but also engineering knowledge and through a computer system being assembled, the ability to tell the homeowner or builder how large the system must be, how much it will cost and the returns he can expect. The heating unit can be built in a variety of ways, either nestled against the side of a home or business or within a practical range of 250 feet from the building to be heated. The company hasnt yet designed a rooftop unit but is working on it, and the price will be higher. DENVER-Somed- ay, w free-standin- g, Tax Protest Brewing continued from page three ding.

Box 11778 Salt Lake City, Utah 84147 Sir: The National Enterprise has justifiably made fun of Richard Nixons view of sovereignty, but the subject should not be dismissed so cavalierly. There is a difficult question to be answered, and the disputes over Congressional checks on Executive power illustrate it. on-goi- ng hold that it is undeniable that the Sovereign must occasionally break the law. The problem is that the Sovereign in the American system is the people, usually identified with their elected representatives in Congress assembled. However, only the Executive can really act, especially in foreign policy, and thus the President must be accorded the undeniable right. I This power was known in Renaissance England as the Dispensing Power, and it wras asserted by English kings long after Parliament assumed true sovereignty. Lincolns suspension of habeas corpus and Trumans seizure of the steel mill are examples of the same power. The treatment of these two examples illustrates the crucial question we need to keep in mind. The Congress justified Lincoln ex post facto ; the Supreme Court refused to allow Trumans action. And now a look at the latest statistics on what you can count on in the coming year . . . The point that needs to be maintained is that when the Executive oversteps his bounds, he has in fact broken a law. The law remains, and must be applied. Congress (or the Court) can rule that his violation of the law was justified, but it remains a violation of the law. Nixons error, and that of the English kings, was in thinking that he could dispense with the law. He could have explained his unlawful action, and asked for exoneration. He did not, and thus had to be punished, that the law could remain supreme. Faithfully, Scaevola |
