What your everyday life would le in a Technocratic world is described in the following article arti-cle the fifth in a seiries of six written for this newspaper. s sfc JJ: By PAUL HARRISON (Copyright 1932, N.E.A. Service) TECHNOCRACY has attracted at-tracted widespread public attention at-tention because, together with its propaganda of panic, its scientific data on our machine ma-chine age and its forecast of national control by engineers, there has been woven a vision of a marvelous new civilization civiliza-tion an era of leisure of cul-. ture and of plenty. Of course the movement dares not dwell officially upon such hap- ! py hypothesis, lest it be accused j . i i i j , ., i ! even more wiueiy man it aueauy is of departing from its self-defined realm of factual science. But in the evenings when Technocrats gather to talk among themselves, then comes the story of what they believe every-day life would be like under their plan. FIRST they contemplate a breakdown break-down of the economic system, and an invitation to Technocracy to take control. During such a state of near-chaos, the engineers plan to say to all productive workers: "Go back to your jobs, or to the jobs you used to have. Fire up your boilers if there are materials to work with. Otherwise stand by and we'll get materials for you. "You won't be paid far awhile. But take aonryrt from the fact that you can't go into debt, either. Nobody will come around to eoitect your rent, or to dun you for old bills. Your debts are all cancelled and your dollars are good only as souvenirs. "You won't eat truffles, or wear new overcoats until our system gets into operation.

"Agriculture must present a solid front to maintain the strength necessary to keep abreast with other industries," indus-tries," said Clyde C. Edmonds, Ed-monds, general manager of the Utah Poultry Producers association, who spoke at the opening session of the Utah County Coun-ty Farm Bureau annual meeting, held Wednesday at the city and county building. Nearly 150 farmers from all parts of the county heard Mr. Edmonds Ed-monds make a plea for the cooperatives cooper-atives in the county to stick to the parent organization, the farm bureau, bu-reau, and to keep the state bureau financed. New Finance Plan The speaker urged that the farm bureau be financed by alloting funds from the overhead of each coo-perative for the organization. The executive setietary of the state bureau, he aid. should not be faced wjj.h the problem of financing. fin-ancing. r" One of the problems the state bureau ought to deal with, he pointed out, is that of legislature. The executive secretary should have a service in which each cooperative co-operative should be kept informed of all legislation that would affect them. In the past, Mr. Edmonds showed show-ed by illustration, that the farmers, farm-ers, and the individual cooperatives cooper-atives have not had power to deal with problems that dealt with finances and other things pertinent pertin-ent to their well-being, because they were not organized well enough into a unit. It is the purpose pur-pose of the new method of organization, organ-ization, which brings all cooperating cooperat-ing units as a part, of the central bureau, to solidify the bureau and make it a power comparable to the organizations of other industries.
