C. E. Jones. Manager O'Neill i Nebraska * 0 ° 8 J I t Capitol New* . . . Board Hears Quigley Defend $1, $2 Bids LINCOLN — One of the most cogent arguments yet made by a group of school land leaseholders before the state board of educa tional lands and funds has come from Judge James C. Quigley, of Valentine, representing a group of Cherry county lessees. Briefly, this was the position taken by the sandhills ranchers: The board has no right to reject —as it has indicated it will—bids of $1 or $2 for leases on grazing tracts, so long as the law has been fully complied with and there was no collusion to hold the bids down. Quigley’s appearance came aft er so-called “buyer resistance” showed up at Cherry county sales. Sales agents of the board re portedly told the bidders that their “bonus” bids would be re jected unless they were for sub stantial amounts. Nonetheless. $1 each was bid on 3 tracts and $2 on another. The board has not yet either approved or rejected the bids. The purpose of the bonus, ot course, is to compensate for the value of the land to the renter above the 6 per cent of the ap praised valuation which he pays as annual rent. The board has taken the position that under the recent supreme court decision— as well as a series of earlier de cisions—it must do everything it can to get as much revenue as possible from the lands for the benefit of the schools. Bonus bids, Quigley insisted, is not the way to do it. The way to get more revenue is simply to raise the valuation on which the rental is based. That’s not so easy, explained Robert A. Nelson, the assistant attorney-general who serves as the board’s legal counsel. Valuations, he said, must be changed on a countywide basis and that would lead to inequities because it doesn’t consider such factors as location of highways, proximity of towns, etc. Judge Quigley made these 12 points regarding the Cherry coun ty leases: 1. in offering the leases at public auction, the board has ful ly complied with the law. 2. Each was the highest and best bid at a public auction held in conformity with the law and ydur rules and regulations and this board is morally bound to approve such bids. / 3. bach bidder has offered to contract and pay whatever rental may be fixed and determined by this board and that |s or should be a full and adequate considera tion. 4. It is the legal duty of this board to keep its land rented to provide a continuous and ade quate rental for its beneficiarie;. 5. These tracts of land should be rented without delay to main tain soil conservation. 6. A bonus for a lease, whether voluntary or forced is not within the purview of the law. 7. If the board considers the rental inadequate, it is the duty of the board to reappraise the land for rental purposes, rather than to demand an unequal, not uni form, haphazard bonus payment. 8. The high bidder, invited to bid by this board, has a legal right that should be paramount, in the absence of frand and col lusion. He bought the lease. 9. A public auction of a lease contract is mandatory, the ap proval of a lease to a high bidder is ministerial. 10. Hy demanding an arbit rary b nus payment of money, the bo. rd is in effect a bidder and the amount of the bonus re quired is the bid of the board at its own auction. This board has no legal right to bid. 11. A public high bid, plus the annual rental fixed by this board establishes the value of the lease. 12. An arbitrary refusal to ap prove lease contracts to high bidders, coupled with either an expressed or implied demand for a bonus is not sound public policy and is beneath the dignity of the state of Nebraska. The board listened politely to Quigley's lengthy presenta tion but whether he did much convincing appears dubious. He did score a couple of points: 1. Gov. Val Peterson ordered that sales personnel stop warn ing that low bids might be re jected. “That’s none of their busi ness,” he said. 2. The governor agreed with Quigley that "some distinction should be made” between grazing land and wheat land, and perhaps between other classes. “But it’s not an easy policy, to establish,” he said. 1 Peterson reminded Quigley that if the board accepted $1 bids, persons interested in the state’s schools would likely go to court to enjoin the acceptance of such bids. Archer Burnham, sec retary of the Nebraska State Ed ucation association, and a watch dog for the school people in the school land lease dispute, was present at the hearing. • 9 • Disgruntled— A man described by Governor Peterson as "a discharged, dis gruntled employe” was back in the news this week. Joe Nekuda, who was booted from his job as a motor fuels in spector in the department of ag riculture for “insubordination,” has charged that he was sent at state time and expense to politick for the governor. He also alleges that he was a member of a “5 percent club” which was required to make campaign contributions. Nekuda said he kicked in two $10 contributions last year. Both of these showed up on campaign re ports filed by the Val Peterson : committee and the republican party. Peterson denied the existence of such a contribution club and said it had always been his policy to disapprove of the use of state time or money for campaigning. He ordered Argiculture Secre tary Rufus Howard to investi gate the whCle anair. • • m One Term— State Sen. Hugh Carson, of Ord, a republican candidate for governor, this week said that if he is elected, he will ask the legislature to place before the voters in the 1954 election a con stitutional amendment limiting governors to one 4-year term. That would do away with the necessity of the governor’s cam paigning and would do a lot “to put a breath of fresh air in the capitol,” Carson said.
