My past work in the legislatures cf 1909-1911. 1923-25-27 and 29 has given me an insight into state affairs of such scope that I think I have a very clear vision "of the needs of the State of Nebraska. While being a member cf this law making body, I served on some of the most important committees, among them being Finance. Ways and Means, Banks and Banking. Railroads, Insur ance, Agriculture and many other minor committees. I do not hesitate to refer to any of my co-workers in that body, regard less of politics. I have never made it a practice to be partisan in my views, but have endeavored to do what I thought was for the best interests of my State and the District that I rep resent. I am heartily in favor of a reduc tion in taxes, and for an Income tax. In 1929 I introduced an income tax bill in the Senate, but the majority party at that time did not see fit toj allow it to be raised from the com mittee. I am for a reduction in com missions and needless boards, and the cutting out of all appropriations that can be dispensed with at this time. Very truly, W. B. BANNING.

The finance committee was author ized to go ahead and also check up the securities and bonds held as se curity for the city funds, being in escrow in Omaha banks, the commit tee to assure themselves of the char acter and value of the same.
