Henning Mother Kills
Son, Turns Gun on Self
Worry Over Health of Boy Said
TO Have Been Responsible for
Tragedy

In one Of the saddest incidents
ever reported in this section of the
state, Mrs. George Wendell, living
five miles northwest of Henning,
Sunday night shot and killed her
month old SON, Duane, and then
turned the rifle on herself with IA
tai results. ~
The shooting occurred Sunday
evening about $50 o'clock. Mr..
Wendell was in the barn milking
and Mrs. Wendell's sister was feed
ing the turkeys. The mother took
a % calibre rifle and shot her in
FAINT through the abdomen and then
through the head, the last shot
causing his immediate death.
For some time the mother had
worried as to the health of her son.
There was no reason for her con-
Germ as a physician had but recent
ly examined the infant and pro-
nounced him normal in every re-
spect and gaining nicely. That
there had been no quarreling is ap-
parent from note left by Mrs. Wen
dell in which she stated she had
spend three happy years with her
husband, whom she loved dearly,
but saying she could no longer
stand worrying about their child.
When Mr.. Wendell entered the
farm home in which the shooting
occurred, he found his SON dead on
a bed and his wife on the floor.
There is little question but what the
rash deed was committed during a
spell of temporary insanity and the
tragedy has shocked not only the
residents of the Henning commun-
ity, but those living in this COM
munity as well-Bertha Cores
pondent, Long Prairie Leader.

DIR. Ragnar ID. Naess, director of
research for Goldman Sachs Trad
ing Corp, show that total interest
bearing debt in the United States
in 1881 was $165, 1000, 900;
1880; $161. 44S, 100000 in 1929.
that it was $16O,52S,0O0, 900 in
and $158.130,0 100000 in 1928.
These figures compare with Tech
nocracy's only published figure of
1918, 900, 100000.
DIR. Naess says this debt is a
crushing burden but he doubts
that it should be given the stress
laid ON it by Scott.
Debt increased about 38 percent
between 1928 and 1881.
Statistics of the National Bureau
of Economic research for the
years 1922-1929 show that physical
Ivolume of all production increased
about 81 percent. Such figures
fare not fully comparable but serve
TO indicate the difference in the
lamount of change.
Since the depression started. pro-
duetion has declined considerably
more than debt, but this always is
true in depressions. DIR. Naess
points out that large amounts of
debt are defaulted in depressions,
and that such is certain to be the
case in this one,
This check, DIR. Naess believes,

such defaults or other means of re-

sihle to say that debt alone or
even primarily would be respon-
sible for a systems collapse-be-
cause it can be and is in fact re-
duced. Ii is rigid, DR.. Naess says,
but not quite so rigid as Technoc-
racy holds.
DR.. Naess calculates that 9.34
percent of the national income
went for the paying of interest on
the total debt i'm 1928; that it was
to.12 percent IN 1925; 1I.62 per-
cent In 1929 Is percent in 1891
and probably between - aud "a

with Technocracy's assertion that
bali the national income goes for
the debts fixed charges.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.--Debt,
says Teehnocracy, is crushing the
life out of the economic system,
burdening the machine so that it
cannot produce to the full, giving
dictatorial power to the bankers
"debt merchants" as Technocracy
calls them.
Debt is overwhelming, Technoc-
raey holds, because it increases al
most constantly and thus requires
the nation to pay an ever-growing
burden of interest, while, in the
meantime and as at present, prof
its do not increase proportionate-
". Debts are fixed charges, T"
varying little. while income goes
up and down violently.
Technocracy, a group of engi-
neers at Columbia University work
ing under the direction of Howard
Scott, is delving into the effect of
the machine on the present eco
monte system. Its findings have
led Scott to predict the existing
structures collapse unless drastic
changes are made in the methods
of control.
Debt Base OF Price System
Debt is a major aspect of Tech
.nocracy's theories, perhaps the
major aspect. because debt is the
base of the price system, and the
price system is the general name
given this and any other political
entity which uses a commodity
gold in this instanee---as measure
of wealth, and which seeks to pro-
duee for profit instead of for use.
Technocracy estimates that the
total of Understanding debit
mortgages, bank loans. bonds aud
SO on-~-in the United States is
about S2iS 600, 0OO, 900: that the
fixed charge on this debt is equal
to more than half the nation 5

has been Increasing faster than
production.
