THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
(Continued from page 1.)
per cent which represents the sys
tem’s tax valuation basis in Ne
braska. Not only the main line,
but all other lines of the road in
the state are considered, however,
and the pro-rated valuation placed
on all the mileage in Nebraska rep
resents 25.23 per cent of the com
bined trackage and earnings of
the Burlington for the entire coun
try which it serves.
This system is used for all the
railroads operating in Nebraska,
and if it were not used, such com
munities as Chicago, where the
greater proportion of the railroads
property and equipment is centered
would derive the greater share of
the tax benefits, leaving Nebraska
with only a fraction of its present
tax revenue from railroads.
One of the political bodies most
bedeviled by the actions of the re
cent legislature is, perhaps, the
board of>nanagers of the Nebraska
state fair. Confronted with mount
ing financial troubles, the board
has been casting a furtive eye at
the newly legalized parimutuel sys
tem, but has refrained from com
mitting itself to date.
Several so-called experts on the
suoject of betting on horse racing
have been given an audience by
the fair board, and these experts
have assured the board that the
fair could be brought out of the
red by the use of the pari mutuel
system.
The fact was brought out that
inauguration of parimutuel betting
had brought in enough revenue to
balance the books for several coun
ty fairs where in the past sponsors
>
were forced to dig deep into their
pockets.
Just when the fair board was be
ginning to sec a rift in the clouds,
the Methodists attending the an
nual Epwoith assembly at Lincoln
adopted a resolution urging the
beard to continue the ban on racing
and betting. In addition to their
opposition to the pari-mutuel, the
Methodists objected io holding any
kind of races on Sunuuy at the fair.
The upshot of the whole matter
was that the fair board ased its
political acumen to the extent of
not deciding on the pari-mutuel
betting question "until the time
comes.” With a sudden burst of
“ruggetf individualism,” however,
members of the board decided to
stand by their previous action to
hold automobile races the first Sun
day of the fair, despite severe crit
icism from church groups.
The average Nebraskan who
would have diffculty in recognizing
a $10-bill if he saw one will be
interested in the monetary figures
that have been floating around the
state house in recent days.
To begin with, highway paving
bids of $1,300,000 are to be called
August 22, and this doesn’t even
represent a portion of the $7,500,
000 WPA road funds to be forth
coming soon in Nebraska.
Next, the federal government
has come to the aid of the flood
damaged Republican river valley
by allocating $500,000 from WPA
funds for rehabilitation purposes.
This is the first actual allocation in
Nebraska under the works progress
program.
This sum is exclusive of the
$194,000 federal program for re
construction of secondary bridges
wiped out by the flood, and funds
aggregating $540,000 which will be
used to reconstruct major bridges
on state and federal highways in
the flood zone. The total funds
earmarked now for rehabilitation
of the flood damaged area is more
than $1,200,000.
Plans for seven camps of rehab
ilitation workers in the valley have
been announced. The camps are to
be located at Oxford, McCook,
Benkleman, Trenton, Cambridge.
Alma and Red Cloud. Approxim
ately 90 per cent of the labor is
expected to come from relief rolls.
Nebraska’s FERA relief grant,
drastically slashed to less than a
third of the first budget request
for August, is $341,500. This cur
tailment is a positive indication of
the federal government’s avowed
intention of cutting relief to a
minimum under the FERA in pre
paration for the WPA program.
Critics of the new deal have been
prone to forget certain events of
the Hoover administration, as in
dicated by documents recently ex
humed by disinterested? parties
around the state house.
One is ar» unofficial endorsement
of the home improvement and
building program similar to the
FHA but minus the government
loans. •
The other, produced by 0. S.
Bare, extension entomologist of the
college of agriculture and a repub
lican, is a bulletin issued by the
federal farm board of Sam McKel

states in part:
‘‘Grow Less—Get iMore. Mil
lions of dollars and hours of work

of the crop depends largely on

“One thing successful manufac

to increase demand.
“The agricultural marketing act
recognizes the need for applying
this same principle to farming if
that industry is to get on a sound
financial basis. Government as
sistance is provided not only for
building up a farmer-owned and
controlled marketing system, but
also for adjusting production to
the potential consumer demand. . .
“It is the judgment of the Farm
Board that the American farmer
can not continue to compete suc
cessfully with other countries in
the production of wheat and that
production should be gradually ad
justed downward until we reach a
domestic consumption basis. , . ”
A prime feature of the 1935 state
fair will be a home improvement
exhibit par excellence engineered
by John Aldrich, administrator for
the FHA in Lancaster county.
A ramshackle house will be
moved to the fair grounds and re
modeled on one side, while the
other half will be left in its origin
al run-down condition. After the
fair, the house will be completely
renovated and auctioned off to the
highest bidder.
FHA men during the fair will in
