Keep the Money Moving
(From Autocaster Service)
The president of the American Bankers association said
a mouthful the other day. “It isn’t how much money is
in circulation but how fast it circulates, that counts,” he
said, in substance. “One dollar will do the work of two
dollars, if it moves from hand to hand twice as fast.”
Money lying idle in bank is hot working. It is only when
money is being spent that commodities move, factory
wheels revolve, workers are kept on the payroll. In the
reaction from an orgy of reckless spending, we seem to
have swung almost as far the other way, into a state of
mind which can only be called miserly. People are
timid about letting go of a dollar for any purpose—and in
communities all over the nation able-bodied men are ped
dling on the streets or taking money from charitable or
ganizations for the support of their iamilies.
This is more particularly true in the large cities; the
country regions and the small towns have not felt the de
ression as keenly as have the large centers of population
et everybody in the United States, broadl
knows that money is not circulating as fast today as it
was a year ago, and that people who owe money are find
ing it hard to get cash with which to meet their obli
gations..
That would not be the case if everybody who has some
thing tucked away would spend some of it now for the
useful necessary thing's which are needed and which will
eventually be bought anyway. All kinds of merchandise
are cheaper now than for years. To buy the necessary
things now is economy. There is not a home in the land
in which there are not some repairs to be made, some
contemplated additions or improvements to be installed,
some new furnishings required. To attend to those things
now means putting money into circulation at a time when
it is actively needed. Ten dollars spent today will do the
community more good than a hundred dollars spent a year
from now.
We have said it before but it is still good advice. Take
advantage now of the low cost of almost everything and

It is a common human failing to believe that whenever
a lull occurs in the progress of humanity, conditions are
going to continue to get worse instead of picking ud again
and going on as before.
Nothing like that has ever happened yet Just 100 years
ago Thomas Babington Macaulay, the famous historian
and essayist, phrased the thought this way:
