THE EMPLOYMENT BARRIER
The Jefferson, Ohio, Gazette,
has made this- interesting edi
torial observation: “Many a boy
through his high school years
earned enough to get a start at
college. Often this part-iime em
ployment led to a career in the
business.”
But now, the Gazette goes on,
all this has changed. And one
of the reasons is the minimum
wage requirement. In its words.
“Minimum wages have their
place in the modern industrial
scheme of things, but they have
deprived . . . lads of an oppor
tunity to earn spending money
and to save for their future , . .
in the hundreds of small towns
and rural communities, the so
cial reformers, with their well
intended laws, have barred youthl
an opportunity for self inde
pendence.”
The record supports this view,
Take, for instance, retail busi
ness — large or small, chain or
independent, Large numbers of
retail stores can offer jobs, often
on a part-time basis, to people
who are without experience or
any particular skill. Obviously,
their value to the store is limit
ed. Yet the work they are given
can prepare them for advance
ment to more responsible, bet
ter-paying positions, But, if an
arbitrary wage-hour law forces
the costs of this kind of employ
ment to unprofitable levels, it
will be cut to the limit,
The moral is a simple one: The
fundamental element in determ
ining earning power is an in
dividual's productivity. The two
can't be separated.
PATH TO BONDAGE
From the taxpayer's point of
view, which agency collects his
taxes, or what way it does it, is
of comparatively small import
ance, The total tax bite is the
big thing, for that determines
what he has left in his pay en
velope to spend or save or in.

The moral, certainly, is plain,
A cut in federal income taxes
will do little or nothing to stim

creases in taxes elsewhere. Com
pounding taxation is the path to
bondage.

A Thou:"! for Today . By: Edsel W. Brvan
There is the scheol of thought which maintains
that yeuth is a state of mind. There is perhaps
more t-an a kernel of truth in this belief. At any
rote. the same belief was entertained by the an
cients, as witness the following words of Marcus
Cicero:
“For as I I’)ke a young man in whom there is
something of the old. so I like an old man in whom
there is semething of the young; and he who fol
lows maxim, in body will possibly be an old man,
but he will never be an old man in mind. . , .”
