TECHNOCRACY
(The Minnesota Union Advocate

(The Minnesota Union Advocate)
Technocracy has taken hold of the
public imagination for the time being.
and as a diverting subject it is a
marked success. Under the general
title of scientific research the tech
nocrats have been able to get some
very pregnant facts into public print.
For one thing, the great mass of the
people are now quite familiar with
the fact that the machinery of in
dustry has displaced millions of
workers. Most of these workers have
been driven directly from the payrolls
of industry to the breadlines of public
charity. The old order has changed.
Time was when a worker in one line
of industry would be readily absorbed
by some other department of indus
trialism. The machines have stopped
this absorption. And arbitrary age
limitations, devised by the efficiency
experts of industry, have done their
share of pauperizing willing workers
of middle age.
Technocracy has opened the eyes
of the nation to the latent facts or
ganized Labor has been trying to
point out for 10, these many weary
years. Organized Labor saw the
danger of labor displacements by ma
chimes long before the technocrats
even dreamed of a scientific dictator
ship. But labor could not get hear
ing in the public prints. 1t had to
establish its own independent press
to carry on program of education
and warning.
Apparently the technocrats have
encountered little difficulty in secur-
ing a public hearing. Most of the
leading magazines have carried a gen.
erous proportion Of publicity for this
new panacea for all the social, eco
nomic and moral ills of the nation.
The opposition of Industrial leaders,
bankers and the so-called best minds
in America" has tended to bring tech
nocracy to the fore. No one under
stands it, but sufficient intelligent in
formation on the menace of mass pro-
ductiOn and abor-displacement has
filtered through the arguments made
for this new theory to give it some
value as an educational force.

SPARE THE KILLERS
(Bert Meurling in Minneapolis
JournaD

The recent bank robbery killings
prove society as bungling in the solu-
ton of the human problem of the
anti-social as were our tribal an
cestors. Thousands of years have
elapsed. but still crime stalks through
our civilization. And we namely COM
mand, Kill the Killer!' The re-
vengeful and Intellectual philosophy
of savagery! Instead of approaching
crime as a socio-medfcal problem, we
still practice the troglodyte philos-
ophy of punishment. Are we to re-
main blind forever to the futilfty of
revengeful punishment? Can't we
acknowledge that punishment does
not deter, stamp or eradicate crime?
Isn't it high time we tried another
avenue than punishment to meet and
check crime? Isn't it time we placed
psychiatrist in our school houses?
Isn't it wisdom for our welfare to
study minds and emotions?
We know the criminal is a mental
and emotional cripple. What brought
about the emotional warpfng? He is
minus compassion, mercy, gentleness
and respect for life. Why? Were the
destructive emotions-anger, hate ac-
quisitiveness and selfishness trans
mitted by heredity or developed by
faulty family and home environment?
What, in his childhood, blocked and
distorted the humane feelings of
kindness, benevolence, tolerance and
sympathy? What brought about his
reimbursement, And when killing is
the result of maladjustment can we
stop it in other killers by slaughter
ing the one we capture?
What do we gain by capital punish

been gained in the past 20 years for
no rational reason whatsoever.
As far as getting state bonds is
concerned this could not be done un-
til our present bonds are due in 1885,
and If we now change to the unor-
ganized territory this may never be
done, as the uporganized territory
cannot legally assume any of the
bonds of any districts coming in.
So the whole underlying structure
lof reasoning was false and not APP
plicable to our Willow River school in
its present splendid condition.
There must be other selfish mo-
tives back of this movement What
are they?
There are still sufficient number
of loyal thinking people who will
stand by our present high school
which is a living monument to the
spirit of education.
Two imported speakers frankly ad-
mitted that our situation here at Will
low was entirely different than at
Bruno or Cloverton, and hence no
change at the present is needed or
wise.
One imported speaker was asked
frankly if he thought that the Willow
tax problem would be benefited by
this proposed change, and he refused
to answer ''yes" or mo" In face of
the facts an answer of yes" would
have been an untruth; and his answer
of mo" would have broken up the
meeting. Why a representative of the
State Department of Education could
thus be so unfair and one-sided is a
surprise and mystery.
Why a few leaders around here
should try to thus upset the fruit
basket and bite off their own nose to
spite their face. is as clear as day
light. But let it be known that Will
low River appreciates their school
and will make a fight for it's preserv-
alton.

ter I'm the Kanabec County Times:
When the House and Senate passed
bill, to reduce the assessed value
on horses and other draft animals
from 80 1/3 per cent to 10 per cent
of the true and full value, this was
done to put them in the same rate

GERMANY'S DILEMMA
Capital TimeS)

The elevation of Adolf Hitler to the
chancellorship of the German repub-
lie has all the aspects of a tragedy.
At the same time it makes it clear
that reports of the extreme, distressed
conditions among the German people
have not been exaggerated. Only a
major crisis of national proportions
could have dared the powers that be
behind the Hindenburg administra-
ton to foist the dictatorial Nazis
chieftain on the liberty loving Ger
man people.
The rise of Hitlerism in Germany
is attributable directly to the eco
nOmic morass in which the German
people have been plunged almost con-
tinuously since the close of the war
Crushed Down by PREPARATIONS pay
ments, deprived of foreign markets,
crippled by territorial losses, and
plunged into financial chaos, the Ger
man republic since its inception has
been threatened with revolution from
the left and dictatorship from the
right.
The terror that has gripped the
great middle class in Germany has
been the real feeder of Fascism
When the Hitler movement began, it
seemed incredulous that it could
make deep inroads among the intelli-
gent German people. But the middle
class, fearful of losing what little
they have left, saw in it the only al
tentative of Communism and Red rule
The picture of revolutionary Russia
and the fate of the bourgoise was
enough to scare worthy German
burghers into supporting almost any
movement that seemed to promise Sc
curity. The inability of successive
liberal, conservative. and coalition
governments to cope with conditions
added to their fright
And back of Hitlerism in recent
years has been the secret, sinister
hand of the big industrial and bank
ing syndicateS in Germany. They
have secretly financed the Fascist
propaganda, encouraged the militar-
LSll IOl w uICl T1ltlcT StdlluS, anu ell
couraged the national hatreds which
are part of the Fascist creed Fas-
cism to these powerful interests is
way to circumvent the rise of a mill
tant labor party and keep control in
their own hands, just as it has been
under Chancellor Won Papen and mis-
predecessors.
4 =
The Hitler ascension to power in
Germany, though limited by an oppo-
istion cabinet, is the most serious
blow to the laboring class in Europe
since the Macdonald sell-out to the
British conservatives. The serious
riots which have occurred in Berlin
are only a mild expression of the re-
sentiment that is felt by the German
workers who have been reduced to the
subsistence level by unemployment,
pauper wages, and heavy taxes.
AS one of his first official acts AS
chancellor, Adolf Hitler has dissolved

STRONG CABLE
NEWS BOOSTS
WHEAT VALUES
Dust Storm in Kansas Is
Another Factor in
Grain Pits.
BY HAROLD E. RAINvILLE

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Wheat opened
firm on the Board of Trade today
on the strong cables, despite an I'M
even stock market and less favor
able world statistics.
Reports Of a bad dust storm in
Kansas over the weekend which
did additional harm to the crop and
the Liverpool steadiness brought in
some buying and checked selling
Corn was firm with wheat, but oats
was unquoted and rye was easy.
At the opening wheat was I'M
changed to = cent higher, corn was
Is cent to - cent higher, and rye
4 cent lower. Provisions were
steady.
Liverpool failed to reflect the
weakness in North America Satur-
day, and was only = TO a cent low
er at mid-afternoon. Observers
claim sentiment has changed, but
lack of constructive action at
Washington ard limited interest are
acting as curbs on the market.
The open interest in corn last
Saturday was in recess of 100000
bushels, with the visible supply
around 29,O0OOOO bushels, compared
with 12,500G00 bushels a year ago.
This is taken to indicate a large
speculative interest outstanding.
The country movement of oats is
small, with cash prices SO law as
to make it expensive to ship the
grain.

BILL TO Save
$3.50 LAW Up
Protection of Limit Act Is
Primary Purpose of
New. Measure.

Protection of the $3.50 tax limita-
ton is the primary am OF a bill
now being considered by the In
diana senate, according to its au-
thor, Senator Harry M. Williams
Dem., Ft. Wayne.
Williams was the author of the
original $3.50 law passed at last
summers special session of the as
sembly.
Senator Ward Biddle Dem,
BloCmington, chairman of the
finance committee, explains that
some courts already have held the
$3.50 law invalid because it pre-
vented tax-levying bodies from rails
ing sufficient funds to take care of
bonds issued prior to passage of
the law.
Provisions of the Williams meas
ure would give levying bodies the
right to provide for interest and
maturity of all such obligations
when levying assessments under
terms of the $3.50 law.
Friends Of the tax limitation law
and that includes most members of
the senate finance committee, realize
that in order to save it from multi
flying court opinions, it seems that
some provision must be made for
governmental units to pay interest
on outstanding bonds, as we'll as
provide for maturity Of these obli-
cations" Biddle said.

The two ecipses of the sun
scheduled for 1888 are not of great
interest scientifically, because they
are annular eclipses-the moon
passing between earth and sun will
not cover completely the sun and so
an annulus or ring of light will be
visible, creating a glare that inter-
feres with observations.
