Amendments Cover Elig
By Randy Irey
Senior Staff Writer
Ten of the sixteen pro
posed amendments to t h e
Nebraska constitution which
appear on the Nov. 8 bal
lot deal with matters other
than tax proposals.
The first proposed
amendment, if approved by
the voters, would eliminate
the present ineligibility of
elective state officers to
any other state office during
the term for which they
have been elected.
: The Supreme Court has
ruled that the present con
stitutional provisions prohi
bit an individual from hold
ing another state office sep
arate from the one to which
he was elected. In addition,
it prohibits the office-holder
from becoming a candi
date for any other state of
fice. The lieutenant governor
is the only state executive
officer, either elective or
appointive, who is eligible
for any other state office in
the period for which he has
been nominated or appoint
ed. The lieutenant governor
is eligible only to become
a candidate for governor.
Per Diem, Travel
The second amendment
proposes that the members
of the Legislature be paid
for their travel expenses
and on a per diem basis
while the Legislature is in
session.
If passed, this amend
ment would make no
change in the present sal
ary of $2,400 per year which
provides no expense allow
ance during the sessions.
It would change the total
payment in two ways. First,
instead of receiving expens
es for only one round trip
to Lincoln and back during
any session of the Legisla
ture, a senator would re
ceive expenses for one
round trip once every month
that the Legislature is in
session.
Second, the legislator
would receive a daily al
lowance for each legislative
day served (not to be more
than 120 days per session.)
The amount of the allow
ance would be determined
by the legislature.
Enter Into Contracts
The third amendment on
the ballot would permit the
state or governmental sub
divisions to enter into con
tracts for service or train-

This amendment was pro
posed as a result of the
Federal Manpower Act of
1965 which authorizes the
states to provide vocation

through arrangements with
private educational or train
ing institutions, in case that
it is not available through
public institutions.

Pros, Cons Compared
In Contested Tax Issue
The following chart shows the advantages and dis
advantages of the three tax systems, as explained by
Clayton Yeutter of the University's department of agricul
tural economics.
INCOME TAX
Advantages
1. Based on ability to pay.
2. Convenient for taxpayer
because it is based on the
federal income tax.
3. Simple and inexpensive
for state to administer.
4. Spreads the tax burden
more equitably since all
citiezns are subject to the
tax.
SALES
1. Everybody pays.
2. It doesn't hurt much since 2
it comes only a few pen- 3
nies at a time. 4
PROPERTY TAX
1. Stable base because land
values stable.
2. Flexible.
3. Simple to collect, counties
do all the collecting for
the state.
4. Well accepted, been the
tax system for 100 years.

1. The tax base is less stable
than either property val

ulation and to decrease the
terms from the present six
years to four years.
If the amendment is
adopted, our members of
the newly enlarged board
will be elected in 1968, two
to two-year terms, and two
to four-year terms. Then,
beginning with the election
of 1970, four members will
be up for re-election, each
on four-year terms.
This would mean that in
each election, there would
be the possibility of four
hold-overs to provide con
tinuity on the Board.
Bus Transportation
The sixth amendment is
to authorize transportation
services for children attend
ing any elementary or sec
ondary school.
The second sentence of
Article VII, Section 2 of the
Constitution states, "Neith
er the State Legislature nor
any county, city or other
public corporation, shall
ever make any appropria
tion from any public fund,
or grant any public land in
aid of any sectarian or de
nominational school or col
lege, or any educational in
stitution which is not ex
clusively owned and con
trolled by the state or
a governmental subdivision
there of . . ."
This has been interpreted
in the past by the Attorney
General to prohibit the ex
penditure of any public
funds to provide bus trans
portation for pupils attend
ing either parochial or pri
vate schools.

If the amendment is ap
proved, it would remove this
prohibition.
Removal of Judges
The seventh proposed
amendment on the ballot
would provide procedure for
the removal or retirement
of any justice or judge of
any court in the state.
The only process now in
the Constitution for the re
moval of a judge who is not
fulfilling his duties is
through the process of im
peachment. The Constitution
does not state clearly the
grounds for impeachment
and the procedure is com
plicated, involving the ac
tion of the Legislature and
a subsequent trial by a
court of impeachment.
In some cases, as with
illness, a judge should be
removed or retired but
should not be subjected to
the process of impeachment.
The proposed amendment
would establish an alterna
tive manner for the remov
al or retirement of all
judges in the state.
Any citizen in the state
could institute proceedings
requesting the Commission
on Judicial Qualifications to
make the necessary inves
tigation concerning the re
moval or retirement of a
judge.
The commission then
would make its recommen
dation to the Supreme Court
and the court could either
remove or retire the judge
or reject the recommenda
tion of the Commission.
The removal procedure

would be carried out in cas
es alleging misconduct in of
fice, habitual intemperance,
conviction of an offense in
volving moral turpitude, or
disbarment.
Another proposed amend
ment would make the Gov
ernor ineligible to the of
fice of Governor for the
next four years after the
expiration of two consecu
tive terms to which he was
elected.
If this is approved by the
voters, it would limit a
Governor to serving eight
consecutive years in office.
Then, he would have to
wait four years before seek
ing the office again.
The eleventh proposed
amendment on the ballot
would provide for the de
duction of costs of admini
stering unsold school lands
before distribution of in
come is made.
The costs of administering
the lands and investing the
funds are now appropriated
to the Board from the State
General Fund. As the con
stitution now reads, it is not
possible to deduct these
costs from the land income.
If this amendment is ap
proved, it will enable these
costs to be deducted from
the Income obtained through
the unsold school lands.
The twelfth amendment
contains two provisions. The
first is that the educational
funds shall be invested as
the Legislature may pro
vide by statute.

Youth isn't wasted on the young. And the young don't
waste their time at Celanese.
Our top people are never old-fashioned about any new
idea, whether it comes from middle management or
from our youngest college grad. We have a master plan
and the vitality to make it work. Marketing is way-out
and zeroed right in. Finance knows that we have better
things to do with our money than let it grow barnacles..
shelled out $465 million in capital expenditures
over the last 3 years. In the scientific department, we
combine technical insight with an unusual grasp of
marketing dynamics.
Thinking young explains how we chalked-up one of the?
most impressive corporate rebuilding jobs in recent
history. How we turned what was basically a one-product
business into a solid and diverse international corporation
dealing in chemicals, miracle fibers, plastics, paints,
petroleum and forest products. How we multiplied sales
5 fold in 10 years. How we now have 100 plants in the
U.S., Canada, Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia.'
Possibly we could afford to relax a little. But success
makes young blood run even faster.
Which means that the ambitious college grad couldn't
find a more provocative opportunity anywhere else in
American industry.

state educational funds in
securities, such as corporate
stocks, would be in viola
tion of the Nebraska Con
stitution. It prohibits giving
or loaning of state credit in
aid of any individual asso
ciation or corporation. The
proposed amendment would
remove this restriction.
This, In turn, would en
able the Legislature to au
thorize the investment of
these funds in other than
government securities if
this seemed desirable.
The second part of the
amendment would authorize
the Legislature to provide
for investment of state
funds and funds of cities,
villages, school districts,
public power districts, and
other governmental or po
litical subdivisions as pro
vided by statute.
This would allow the Le
gislature to undertake a
broader and more diverse
investment program for sur
plus state funds.
Apportionment Methods
The last proposed amend
ment also contains two
parts. The first would
change the method of ap
portionment of the members
elected to the Legislature.
If this is adopted, it will
provide that the Legislature
redistrict the state after
each federal census, the
next one being in 1970.
The second part would
authorize the Legislature to
specify representation in
districts changed by reap
portionment. With the 1966 general

election, all members of the
Legislature will be serving
four-year terms with ap
. proximately half of the
membership coming up for
re-election every two years.
At the times of later re
apportionments, there could
be several members with
two years remaining in their
terms whose districts would
be affected.
Under the proposed
amendment the members
affected would remain tn
office through the remaind
er of their term. The Legi
slature, in enacting the re
districting, would specify
the newly-established dis
tricts that these individuals
would represent.
In order for an amend
ment to become part of the
state constitution it must be
approved by the voters at
a general election in which
a majority of all votes cast
upon the amendment must
be in favor of it, and the
votes cast in favor must
equal at least 35 per cent
of the total votes cast in
the election.
