Aims OF Both Held to Set Up

GHICAGO, January f4.-Tectnoc-
racy, in the opinion CT Thomas Quinn
Bses,ey, author and crime analyst Is
seeking the goal which he says has al
ready been touched by racketeering.
They had reached the same conclu-
sions. he said today.
"Technocracy," he said, "is overlook
ing one Of it, strongest arguments when
it does net point to racketeering a.
proof of its theories"
Three major conclusions, Beesley de-
clared, have been reached by racketeers
after experience in the brutalities Of
business" and by technocrats from
detached science"
!. That the price system Is all out Of
adjustment to need of the times.
2. That better social control Is re-
quired for industry.
3. That workable Plan Is needed for
regulation and stabiiization of produce
tion, employment, competition and
profit.
Held National Result.
Rscketezring, Beesley contends. Is "an
x-ray picture Of Americas Industrial
sickness whose machinery roots tech
nocracy is exploring"
"Rsckets," he said, "ilave become an
increasingly common answer TO the
problem Of how to end disturbances to
competition and price structures which
have been developing steadily for so
years.
These rackets offer system where
by one can continue to make profit
In competition, under conditions of
constantly improved manufa cturing
processes" Beesley explained.
"Rsckets have agreed with technoc-
racy for at least years, that no system
based on price could stand the present
strain Indefinitely, unless there was
slavery among workers and a DICTATOR

THE rackets have supplied the dc

"Technocrats say their research IN

and faScism, but not suggesting any

"So-called price wars in metropolitan

a teeming colony OF men, women and
children, brought from cities Of the
South b. the Goodwill Industries.
The town and tract OF land was do
mated to tho Goodwill Industries by a
humber company. The money to pro-
vide the initial impetus has been pro-
vided by friends Of the Goodwill plan.
Farm on Cooperative Basis.
Chauncey E Becman, superintendent
Of the Goodwill Industries plant at
Louisville, is president of the new prof.
ect, incorporated in Mississippi as the
Goodwill Industries and Plantation.
Designed primarily es a practical lab
oratory for the rehabilitation of poverty
stricken families who were 'lured to the
cities during prosperous times, the farm
end town will be operated on o CO.
operative basis. Tie town, whose name
is to be char rged 10 Goodwill, will be
governed BY It's own mayor and City
Council. The usual activities will pre-
vail; there will be churches, schools, a
hotel, Office buildings and stores.
The families will be paid for their
work in money and supplies. AL prod
uce will be pooled and sold through CO.
operative associations. and all purchases
will be made in the same manner. Some
10000 feet of timber left on the
tract will BE- worked into products and

ESCAPE INTO MARYLAND
FAILS TO HELP DRIVER
Policeman Jenkins Files Charges as
Private Citizen and Starts
D. C. Action Also.

Policeman j. r. Jenkins makes 1t
a point to get his man-even II ne
has to chase him into Maryland ana
file charges against him as a private
citizen.
In the case of William r. Metz, jr,
the policeman did the job so thor
oughly that both District and Mary
land authorities were called upon to
dispose of reckless driving charges
against the man.
Jenkins testified in Police Court yes
terday that On January he chased
Metz, who is 25 and lives in the 170O
block of Taylor street, from Four
teenth street and Delafield place to the
Silver Spring police station. There ne
forced Metz to the curb, summoned a
Montgomery County policeman and
filed reckless driving charge. Metz
was ordered to appear in Rockville Po-
lice Court Tuesday.
That wasn't enough for jenkins,
however. When he encountered Metz
in the District a few days ago, he ar
rested him on a reckless driving charge.
Judge Isaac r. Hit fined Metz S25,
but suspended sentence when the young
man surrendered his permit.

FARM TAXES DROP
20 PCT. IN a YEARS
Reduction Fails to Keep Pace With
Decline in Price of Prod.
ucts, However.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Farmers tax bills have dropped con-
siderably but the reduction has not
kept pace with the decline in prices OF
farm products.
The Bureau Of Agricultural Eco
Monies yesterday reported farm real
estate taxes per acre in 1882 were 20
per cent below the 1929 peak. but still
ere approximately double the 1913 rate.
Prices of major farm commodities are
below the 1918 level
Figures from % representative States
show reductions of 6 per cent per acre
between 1880 and 1891 with the re-
mainder Of the cut between 1881 and
1882.
Because many farmers have been un-
able to meet their tax payments, the
bureau reported an increase in delin-
quency and suggested that actual taxes
paid per acre probably declined more
than 20 per cent.
One district. New England, showed no
appreciable decrease in taxes per acre
while a downward movement was ap-
parent throughout 1882 in every other
section of the country.
