THE WORLD BY THE TAIL

Once upon a time Colonel Peter o.
Night of Tampa used to beam and crate
about the low taxation in Florida, about the
several tax measures in other states to
which Florida was stranger.
I'VE have no intangible taxes, no per-
sonal taxes and SO on and on, Colonel
knight used to delight in declaring And
during his trips to Key West occasionally,
it was only necessary to mention the word
taxation for him to point out its absence
in a good many important instances in the
glorious State of Florida. We can see his
eyes twinkling now as he talked about his
beloved State that gave every man chance
to earn a livelihood without being taxed
to death.
But how things have changed since
then! No more is Florida that state where
taxation is light; instead, taxation rides on
the topmost crest of the highest wave. :
You may buy a gallon of gasoline for
your automobile, and one-third of the
money you pay for it is clutched by the
state: you buy pack of cigarettes, and
one-fifth of the sum you pay is shunted
into the state treasury, and so it goes with
almost every conceivable thing taxed
One had hope that. with the states
surplus topheavy, when the present legis-
atnre convened there would be some re-
dnetianSin taxes. But not so! The heavy
surplus instead, created a determination
among state officials to pile more weight
on the crate. "afla aal P#
Cne would have thought too that
when the ban had been raised federally on
race courses that the former insistence, in
still raising higher and yet higher the
sages on cigarettes, which are two-thirds
as high as those imposed by the federal
government, would have been quoted, but
not SOL
Up Tallahassee way, the attitude now
is, ..The more money we have the more we
want; keep building up the surplus. as
though the money in building it UP does
not come out of the pockets of the people
of the state
Reduction in taxation? BAIL "The
only thought we entertain in that regard
is to make the taxes higher and higher. As
DR.. Townsend said about the $500 month

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


WASHINGTON. May "a. = X.
Vernon Banta's motto is: Don't
confuse disability with inability.
Banta has just celebrated his
18th anniversary with the United
States Employment Service and
is chief of the governments dis
abled veterans employment pro-
gram. He describes his system OF
selective placement of the handi-
capped as revolutionary. yet
sound, practical business sense.
He contends that every single
lob is a job for a disabled person.
No one job requires every capa-
city of the normal person.
Banta, gray-haired and 40, IS
proof of his own argument. He
lost his left arm % years ago IN
dredging accident in Wyoming,
MINI. Three years later, at 20. he
entered the USES as a clerk.
In those days there was no SCI
entific technique" he says. 1T
was all by rule of thumb. Frank
ly, they didn't think ! could do
the work.
In 1921, at the peak of the dis
abled veterans problem, he be-
gan to do placement work.
There, was no technique for
placing handicapped persons un.
til 1885," Banta recalls. MY old
boss used to say, Always use job
analysis in this work
But he never explained what
he meant by job analysis ! had
to work it out by myself
|. Today the. Banta technique Is
used in finding Jobs for some
$4,000 handicapped persons every
month. #
!. The system consists Of analy--
ing each job for working condi-
tions damp, dust, hours. etc),
and the physical activities re-
quired to perform it walking,
standiag,' lifting, etc.). There are
81 conditions in all.
Similarly, the capacity of the
Handicapped applicant is analyz-
ed. Then the suitable job is pick
ed for him.
IF we can get this scientific
placement technique ingrained in
employers, they will pick a man
for his ability, for his employ
ment record" Banta says.
