Business Outlook Mon* Kavomhlr

CENTRAL BANK OKI DIAL DK- ( LAKES I |\». > ARE SHOAV INI, IMPROVEMENT By Fred L. O’Hair With increa eit employment and government expenditures il is appar ent that business i, showing improvement. County wide reports indieHte the best holiday volume since 1929. These facts, combined with the < us tomary now year hope are iesp( nsihle for a more 'iptimistic feeling than has prevailed for several years Liquidation of the past four years, | tapering off of distress .-elling, shift ing of much individual indebteilness to governmental agencies, and a saner attitude toward personal fi nances, 'ire all contributing factor in an impioved business structure. Balanced against the favorable factors, however, are numerous un und features. The arlifieial stimulant.., being ado blistered ire causing an unpre edented increase in public debt, with its inevitable increase in taxation on all classes. Government doinination of and conipetition with private business stifles bu.-ine:- - initiative. Experimentid tampering! with m mey has invariably brought | disaster if continued long enough. . Local business continue, on as sound a basis a* could lie expected considering w i Id wide influem es. A return t» first principles of thrift and industry on t a* part of individual f can be expected to result iu an even j tual though gradual improvement. With common sen s, and individual effort business and farming can build their way back within the next few years if left to their natural instincts.
