Down in Washington this week is discussed. What is meant by little business is very likely not what we would call little business in instance, the small grocery or filling station or modest dealer of any kind. Still, it does mean that class, too, when it is all sifted down.

Little business, in the sense in which it is being nationally discussed, means the concerns that are not so large as the gigantic trusts and monopolies but are a great part of the nation's interests; by far the major portion of the business of the country, in the aggregate. Of course, all business, big and little, it inter-related. When little business is prosperous it naturally follows that big business receives the flow just as small streams of water after a rain combine to widen rivers and cause floods. Without this in the provinces, in the widespread watershed of our country- on our farms and hillsides and mines and factories the larger streams dry up in time. That is another thought: Floods in business.

Such overflows are harmful, just as floods of water such as we had a year ago are harmful. Floods are a temporary condition. They are not a normal, but an abnormal condition that probably can he controlled. What economists (not politicians) are trying to figure out is how' to maintain an even flow of the business fix a set of on the old law of supply and demand or some mechanism to meter out over the wide stretch of our land an measure of trade, not too large nor too small. Some day the Highbrows may bt; able to figure this out.

We honestly believe that they are making some headway. Hut it must start "from that is, the means to buy goods must be provided and permanently provided, for all people according to their varied needs and their varied ability to earn. Along with that must come regulatory provisions to prevent or booms, which are invariably followed by droughts which we call sometimes depressions and at other times recessions. Hut it has begun to sprinkle and it may be well to begin looking for your umbrella. Thorp is a decided turn for the better in business after the understanding" between them men control the private money interests and the government.

The potentialities for good business and reasonable prosperity are here in abundance, as everybody has known for a long time. All that has been needed is confidence aud understanding. Private investors want to risk their money in branching out when they are uncertain as to governmental poli des. You blame them. You wouldn't do it yourself.

What we started out to say was reverse our the business clouds are clearing. No doubt about that. Big business is beginning to show its confidence in the future by starting things to going. Fear of governmental interferences have been dissipated, partially at least. The move back to normalcy is on.

The business like all of us here in Linton can help ourselves and the general movement by taking an optimistic view, also. Let us start now and go ahead with our plans and quit talking and thinking LINTON DAILY CITIZEN Printed in the Heart of the Indiana Coal Fields, in the State's Finest Corn and Fruit Belt and Within 2 9-10 Miles of the Center of Population of the United States Weather Cloudy tonight and Wednesday; snow flurries tonight; much colder tonight.
