Some educators have questioned wheth er it would curtail income to school districts. The attorney general’s office has said that whether it does or not is entirely up to the legislature. The primary need for the change, according to Sen. Richard D. Marvel of Hastings, its spon sor, is the loss of many thousands of dollars in delinquent moior vehicle taxes every year. Briefly, the amendment would allow the legislature to “provide for a different method of taxing motor vehicles.’’ Motor vehicles are now classed as tangible pro perty and are taxed at the own er’s home. Said the legislative council: “When the public hearing was held on this proposed amend ment, no one appeared in opposi tion to it. The bill was supported by the chairman of the County Commissioner’s Association, who stated that his organization was unanimous in its support. Rctire senthtives of the Omaha city ► council and of the Omaha school district also spoke in its favor. Tne Nebraska Motor Carriers as sociation also appeared in its be half and it passed the legislature without a dissenting vote. “The fact should be emphasized that, while the amendment en visages s, me sort of motor ve hicle tax system to take the place of the present property tax on these vehicles, the proceeds from whatever new tax may be levied, will continue to be allocated -o each county and taxing district in the same proportion as under the present tax law. * * * Salaries of Legislators— This is a proposal to raise the salary of members of the legisla ture from $872.09 a year to $1,250. Present legislative salaries were set in 1935 and have not been changed since. Said the council: “Most legis lators do not expect to be highly paid for their services, but many cannot afford to serve at present because the salary scarcely covers the actual and necessary ex penses.” , * * * Slate Board of Education— This proposal would hand the “supervision and administration of the school system of-the state.” to a six-member board, elected by the people from six districts, as regents of the University of Nebraska are now elected. They won If >r six-year terms without pay, except for their expenses. le board would name, and fix the salary of the commisioner of education who would serve as the executive officer of the board. Freeman B. Decker, the present state superintendent, testified in favor of a state board before the last legislature. He said the plan was educationally sound. Numer ous other organizations sent rep resentatives to the legislature’s hearing to endorse the proposal. There was some opposition to the ^lan The legislative council says, “Mr. G. E. Kolterman of the Rur alSchool Board associa ] tion of Pierce county stated that he Ihought the amendment would j lead to centralization in the edu- j cational system and that his or ganization was in favor of keep ing the -superintendent on an elective basis as at present.” * * * Constitutional Convention Membership— This proposal does not provide for the calling of a constitutional convention. The legislature killed a bill which woud have provided that. Instead, it proposed that when and if a convention is call ed, it shall be made up of more than 43 members, as the present constitution provides. The amend ment would set the number at no more than 100, with the exact number to be prescribed by the Legislature. * * • Publication of Proposed Constitutional Amendments— The council’s report says: “The present provision of the constitution requires proposed amendments to be published once each week for four weeks immed iately preceding the election at I which they are to be voted onf and in at least one newspaper in each county. The only purpose of the proposal now under discus sion is to reduce this requirement to three weeks and thus reduce the cost to the state of publish ing proposed amendments.” W. F. FINLEY.
