of coin and currency was circulating
in banks and in the hands of the

total of 1920. .000. 900.
During the week ended November

creased $54,000,000. Reductions in

SLOWING RECOVERY

Washington, for several weeks past
now, has been the scene of almost daily
conferences designed to bring about better
cooperation between government and
business as a means toward lifting the
Nation from recession bog. From all in
dications, the talks have served to bring
about better understanding, if nothing
else.
Almost TO a man, every business lead
er invited to the Capital City to express his
views on the economic problems has urged
that the tax burden on business be tighten
ed as one of the most certain means of re-
newing the recovery march, and that the
competition of government in business with
its own citizens should be tcurbed- az
These business men know-as the
government should know now-that money
paid in taxes cannot be spent for wages;
that the same dollar can't go into the tax
till and the pay envelope at the same time
This philosophy isn't something now to be
heard around Washington-Co Congress had
the same idea last December when it was
in special session
Everyone seems to be in accord on
the matter-that Sitting taxation must be
ended that tax money, if unleashed in
the business field, will go a long way to-
ward providing jobs for unemployed work
ers. Why, then, should there be any fur
Their delay in taking this important step to-
ward industrial recovery.
