THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
(Political and Otherwise)
by James R. Lowell
With 47 counties reporting to
the state tax commissioner, a de
crease of 7 per cent is apparent on
the valuation for taxing purposes
of farm properties including most
of the possessions of farm and
small town folks in the state.
The decrease is most noticeable
in cattle, other lievstock and grain.
In the sandhill region, however,
where cattle were shipped in last
summer and fall from heavy
drouth regions, the decrease in
valuation is not so great and in
some sandhill sections the valua
tion is greater than last year.
State Tax Commissioner Smith
said that Nebraska railroads will
show a decrease in valuation due
to the fact that they are assessed
under a four-year average based on
quotations of railroad stock.
Real estate in general has just
been reassessed so that valuations
this year will be the same as last.
The grand total of appropria
tions, including cash funds, fees,
and federal funds but excluding re
appropriations and emergency ap
propriations, voted by the last bi
cameral legislature to total $37,
495,415, an increase of $12,310,739
over two years ago. The grand
total for the 1933-35 biennium was
$25,184,075, but state officials ex
plain that certain funds were not
taken into account in reaching the
figure two years ago.
Considering the lower valuation
in farm and small town properties,
lower railroad valuations and the
increased legislative appropriation,
the state tax levy this year is al
most certain to be slightly higher
than the 2.1 mills levy for 1934,
according to Mr. Smith.
The new state port of entry
law probably never will pay for it
self directly, but it will indirectly,
according to Director Banning of
the state department of agricul
ture and inspections.
Last month $500 was cut from
the cost of administering these
ports and this process is to con
tinue. For example, several ports
that have been receiving $100 or
$125 a month for their work have
been cut to $35 a month. This ac
tion was taken on the basis of the
amount of work they handle.
The expense last month was
about $1,200 more than the amount
taken in. Trucks inspected num
bered 3,985, and better than 600
truck license fees were collected
from trucks from other states.
Weather conditions have delayed
the corn crop in most sections of
the west and middlewest, points
out A. L. Haecker, former head of
the university department of dairy
husbandry and now a national silo
authority headquartering at Lin
coln. Corn was not only planted
later, but, due to cold, wet weather,
it is now from three to four weeks
behind normal growth.
Favorable weather until the later
part of September will mature
much of this corn but we are quite
likely to see frosts appearing be
fore grain is hard and ripe, he
declares.
Mamy farmers aim to carry over
a crib of corn until they are sure
of another crop, says Mr. Haecker
in conclusion. Stock farmers in
Nebraska would do well to carry
over a silo filled, with good silage.
There is no more waste in carry
ing o-'er the silage than there is in
carry’ng the ear corn in the crib
for two or three seasons, he be
lives. Silage will keep many years
and retain its feeding value.
The Nebraska supreme court has
held that the Cone delinquent tax
installment payment law is invalid
because it violated a constitutional
provision that a new law which
amends an existing statute must
clearly show the amendment. This
was the first of the 1935 crops of
laws to be thrown overboard, altho
several others are now being con
tested.
The discarded law, sponsored by
the late Rep. Trenmor Cone of Val
ley, would have allowed delinquent
taxpayers to pay up with interest
cancelled under a 10-year instal
ment plan. Penalties were provid
ed in case the delinquent taxpayer
taking advantage of the measure
failed to meet jne of his instal
ment payment^.
State tax officials estimate that
the new law requiring payment of
the property tax on automobiles
before license plates can be issued
is in a position to mean additional
revenue of from? $750,000 tc $800,
000 per year tolsudivisions cf the
state.
The law which goes into effect
with the purchasing of 1936 auto
mobile licenses is termed “the most
important tax ejection step taken
for many vear&lhv the state leg
islature.”
■ i .
Walter Hager, new chairman of
the board of control, announces
that federal grants will be sought
to supplement legislative appro
priations for buildings at state in
stitutions. Applications have been
filed with the PWA for 45 per cent
grants of federal funds.
Legislative appropriations avail
able for major construction at four
state institutions total $316,677. A
full federal grant of 45 per cent
would give the board of control
approximately $143,000 additional
funds.
fONGRES?
As Seen by a Nebraskan
The sub-committee of the farm
group met with President Roose
velt in his executive office this
morning and were assured that
the chief executive is in favor of
some plan where more money can
be used for actual farm to market
roads. The president told us that
he has had considerable experience
regarding this need in New York
state, and about certain powerful
obstacles we may meet before we
actually get effective work done.
He also told us that the committee
is right, that the nation must get
“dirt-road-minded.” Meaning that
some real attention must be given
to the farmers who pay the road
taxes and are forced to travel thru
mud to reach the main highways.
He gave the committee plenty of
helpful hints and indicated that he
would join in helping the move
ment. An official announcement
he said would be made within a
week and the committee feels that
it has won a hard, fight and has
given the administration enough in
formation on which to start a na
tion-wide farm to market road pro
gram.
There is considerable talk in the
house about the possibility that

news of President Roosevelt’s bil
lion dollar tax-the-rich plan may
have leaked to Wall Street in time
to permit a market clean-up, but
some of those who seem to know
something about it are sure that
there must be some leak, because
the same story was circulated after
the gold and silver messages were
written. It is felt that the gam
blers on Wall Street have an un
canny way of guessing what is
being done in the Administration
offices, but newspaper men who at
tend the press confrerence do not
believe that there is any deliberate
leak of confidential information
from the White House, because
that information is pretty much
guarded before it leaves the White
House.
The house Indian affairs commit
tee passed favorably the bill to
enable the Winnebago Indians to
appear before the court of claims
and ask for redress for losses they
sustained when they were driven
away from their homes in Min- •
nesota in 1863. This bill was pas
sed after many appearances before
that committee and may be brought
up on the floor of the house for
action within a short time.
Considerable excitement prevail
ed in the house when a majority of
the members by a tellers vote de- 0
cided against the “death clause”
in the holding company bill. Many
of those voting against the death
>
clause are in fvaor of strict regula
tion which they believe is contained
in the house bill.
