Tho announcement of the Standard OH coru-
pany cutting tho price OF gasoline is simply an
other indication that We finally on the road
to That dependable and desirable state charac-
terizod by Senator Harding "normaIcy."
We find 1t difficult to accept that part OF
the Standards statement wherein the assertion
Is made that thcre has been mo recession in
the demand FOR gasoline" That Is surprising
For the htuestioncd recession" In the demand
Tor motor cars now universally acknowledged.
we had thought a certain indication that the
demand for gas and oils was also lcssened.
What the actual cause OF the recession is need
not be inquired into. The tendency on the part
OF large interests to anticipate and begin at
once sharing profits with the large army ot
consumers ls gratifying And we think 1t is the
best OF business. For those who continue to
stand against the tendency OF the times In the
hope OF staving Off not losses by an adequate
sharing OF very unusual profits realized when
tho markets was advancing daily, but the re.
sponsibility Of sharing with the consuming pub
lie portion OF those unusual gains are very apt
to awaken when it is H. inte to save their bust
ness from bankruptcy.
1t is the literal truth that most business con.
Germs will find 1t impossible to make profits on
both turns ot the general market when the
market was approaching rapidly tho business
that did not realize enormous profits was so
rare and unusual as to command no serious con-
sidcration. These unusual profits were justified
at the time hy tho argument that I'VE are cn.
titled to these profits on rising market, Cor we
