Here in Wisconsin I would argue for DST in the summer because without it, in mid-June our sunrises would be at 4:18 AM and sunsets at 7:39 PM. Moving those to 5:18 AM and 8:39 PM is much better. I wouldn't mind moving them another 30-60 minutes.
Anyway, there is no "natural" time. The time was set arbitrarily. Why base it roughly upon when noon occurs in Greenwich, England? If it had been based upon another location, it could vary by several minutes from what we have now.
Even England advances the time in Greenwich by an hour in the summer, calling it British Summer Time.
