State Apparently Votes No
On Income, Property Tax
Nebraskans now appar
ently have no major tax
system a '. t e r Tuesday's
vote. Latest returns show
an abolition of the proper
ty tax coupled with a rejec
tion of the personal and
corporate income tax.
This will force the legis
lature to form a new in
come tax, a general retail
sales tax or a combina
tion of the two. This may
be done in special session
or after the senators start
the regular session in Jan
nary.. According to Jack Rodg
ers, University professor
and chairman of the Legis
lative Council, there is no
special session scheduled.
He added that he had not
beard any "serious talk"
concerning one.
Rodgers said that any
special session before Jan
uary would have to be
called by Governor Frank
Morrison. This session
might include "lame duck"
senators whose terms ex
pire in January.

After serving three terms
as Governor, the longest
continuous period of office
ever held by a Democratic
governor in Nebraska,
Frank B. Morrison was de
feated in his campaign for
the U.S. Senate by Republi
can Carl T. Curtis.
Curtis won bis third six
year term as U.S. Senator
and is now assured of at
least 34 years in Washing
ton, as a representative
from Nebraska.
The M 1 n d e n lawyer
served eight terms in t h e
House of Representatives
before election to the Sen
ate. Before the election Curtis
had stated that inflation is
becoming a serious domes
tic issue, resulting from the
loose fiscal policies of t h e
Johnson administration.
Curtis also said that Ne
braska was one state in the
same category with several
others in the "maldistribu
tion" of federal aid grants
across the nation.

statement late Tuesday eve

to "pick up the torch" and

Tiemann has stated that he
will seek the passage of a
combination sales - income
tax in the 1967 legislature.
The amendment to repeal
the 99-year-old state prop
erty tax was sponsored by
the Nebraska Farm Bu
reau Federation. With 1,898
of 2,168 precincts reporting,
the tax was being repealed
187,593 to 183,081.
Voters also rejected the
sales and corporate income
tax passed by tine 1965 eg
islature, the 1,898 precincts
showing 262,449 to 111,729
against.
Amendment 14, returning
at least 20 per cent of any
state sales-income tax rev
enue to public schools with
a property tax for capital
improvements, was also

Number 14 was running

also been some speculation
about a federal appoint

but Morrison has denied
these rumors.
Nebraska's only Demo
cratic Representative, Clair
Callan of Odell, conceded
his defeat to Republican
Robert V. Denney of Fair
bury late Wednesday morn
ing. Denney's upset victory
was the closest race in t h e
state. Callan had held a
slim margin throughout
most of Tuesday night, but
fell behind Wednesday by a
vote of 87,752, to 84,080,
with all but 12 precincts re
porting. Had Callan won re-election,
he would have been
the first Democrat in Ne
braska in 30 years to w 1 n
re-election to a House seat.
In a pre-election inter
view, he said that more
money should be spent on
facilities for the University,
in view of increasing enroll
ment. Denney has said that he
favors increased military
action in Viet Nam.
He labeled the flow of
youth from Nebraska as a
"very serious" problem. He
said he would like to help
build an industrial climate
in Nebraska along with vo

tional programs to maintain
technical and graduate
skills for those industries.

Voters eliminated an esti

for Nebraska when they
eliminated the property tax

source of funds.
Unless legislators and
voters return to a property
tax in the future through
another constitutional
amendment, the property
tax of 1966 will be the last
in a 99-year history.
Tiemann has urged the
enacting of a two per cent
sales tax, a fixed rate cor

personal income tax with
graduated rates set by the
Legislature.
State Sen. George Gerdes

Success To Come From
EDITOR'S NOTE; This
story was written by Diane
Theisen, a University fresh
man, who waited for the
election returns T u e s d a
night with Governor-elect
Norbert T. Tiemann and his
family.
Surrounded by f a m i 1 y,
close friends and campaign
associates Gov.-elect Nor
bert T. Tiemann awaited
the election results in the
Presidentional Suite of
the Omaha Sheraton-Fonta-nelle
Tuesday night.
About 50 people crowded
into three rooms of the suite
to spend the climatic night
with the Tiemanns. Five
flights down, in the hotel
ballroom, about 200 loyal
Republicans anxiously
scanned three television
sets listening for new of Re
publican races across the
country.

In the Presidential suite,
people nosily milled about
and Tiemann could be seen
shaking hands, greeting
frineds and supporters and
listening for the returns.
Most people were crowded
into the largest room of the
three, listening to CBS elec
tion returns on a portable
TV.

Amy and many friends, sat
here, talking to friends and
listening anxiously for more
returns.
In one of the smaller
rooms, Dave Pierson cam
paign manager, and other
Tieman campaign chairmen
listened quietly and inten
ly as the initial returns
from Nebraska began to
pour into CBS News Elec
tion headquarters.
Cheers filled the room
after CBS's vote profile an
alysis gave Carl Curtis a
victory over Democratic
Governor Frank Morrison.
After this announcement,
Lorna Tiemann walked into
the third television-equipped
room of the suite and
strained to listen as Walter
Cronkite began to announce
Nebraska gubernatorial re
sults. As CBS's vote profile
analysis predicted a Tie
mann landslide, Mrs. T i e
mann applauded and a look
of elation spread over her
face.
Wait And See
In answer to premature
congratulations after this
announcement, Tiemann
simply smiled and said "Its
not over yet . . .we have
to wait and see."
He proceeded to the ball
room where he thanked the
people there for their sup
port during the campaign

and commented that things
"were looking good."
Finally about 11:30, p.m.,
Channel 6 announced a Tie
mann victory and stated
that a telegram of conces
sion had been sent by Demo
cratic gubernatorial c a n d i
date Philip Sorenson to Tie
mann. Shouts filled the suite and
the ballroom. The Tiemann
family retired to a small
private room and awaited
the arrival of the Sorenson
telegram.
The Tiemann family, after
receiving the telegram, went
to the hotel ballroom to
greet friends and the press.
In his victory statement
Tiemann said that he saw
the election was "neither a
victory nor a success
but rather as a beginning
a coming together in a un
ity of purpose".
Working Together
He went on to add that
"success will come when
we are working together.
And I do plan on working
together.
"I plan on establishing a
closer liaison between the
governor's office and the
Legislature then we've had
in the past ... I also plan
on working closely with the
cities across that state in a
concentrated effort to re
vitalize those Nebraska com

me as governor as your vote
of approval for the programs
that I outlined during the
campaign. I meant them
then . . and I intend to live
by them for the next four
years."
Four Year Plan
Earlier in the campaign,
Tiemann told the Daily Ne
braskan that, if elected, he
would revise the tax sys
tem in the state and fight
for the complete abolition
of the property tax system.
Tiemann said that educa
tional excellence in the state
would be one of his goals.
He commented that the
large budget request of the
University was a "catch-up
budget" caused by lack of
leadership by the "care
taker of the budget."
Throughout the campaign,
Tiemann emphasized the
need for the creation of a
research capacity "to at
tract federal funds and top
scholars to the state". He
indicated that this creation
would lead to a growth of
industry in the state offer
ing more employment.
Tiemann's running mate,
Republican John E. Ever
road of Omaha defeated
his Democratic opponent,
Ross Rasmussen of Hooper,
by 281,112 votes to 177,943,
in the Lieutenant Gover
