Coach Paul Baker’s O’Neill
Nigh Eagles were obliged to pull
the game out of the fire thrice
during last Thursday evening’s
clash with the Valentine Badgers
, in the semifinals of the North
Central Nebraska conference
basketball tournament. The Eag
les finally won, 42-40, in an ov
ertime.
Valentine, however, was *hever
in the lead. Forward Davey Eby
of O’Neill was the star of the
show while his running mate,
Larry Chace, experienced a
nightmarish evening.
The Blues built a 12-point lead
at one stage of the third quar
ter. Gary Buckmaster’s two free
throws in the overtime gave the
Blues the victory. The gratis
flips accounted for the only
scoring during the extra inning.
O’Neill led 9 - 4 at the first
quarter mark; 20-15 at halftime:
33-28 at the end of the third, and
the game was knotted 40-all at
the end of the regular playing
time.

38th Anniversary of Big Storm
Today is the 38th anniversary of one of the much-talked
about blizzards of yesteryear. The blizzard of February 12, 1915,
obliged the Burlington to put into action a double-header “V”
type snowplow at Haypoint about five miles east of O’Neill. The
object in the left foreground, Charles Johnson, was buried by
snow from the plow a few seconds after this picture was snapped.
The man in the extreme left background, Henry Phelps, dug out
the curious spectator who suffered no ill effects.

Measures to Untangle Knotty School
Lease Problems Get Good Treatment
LINCOLN—Taxation was far
and away the number one prob
lem before the legislature this
week.
Spurred on by Gov. Robert B.
Crosby’s personal request for a
legislative policy before February
25, the lawmakers buckled down
to face what has emerged as the
prime headache for the session.
Crosby came before the legis
lature last week to sketch the
situation:
Time is short; the assessment
date is the tenth of next month.
The Nebraska supreme court
held, in the now-famous John
son county case, that property un
der the constitution must be as
sessed equitably and uniformly
at 100 percent of itsvalue.
Present law provides for as
sessment of real estate every
tw0 years and that class of
property is not up for reas
sessment in 1953. Sen. John
Aufenkamp of Julian has sub
mitted a bill to provide for an
nual assessments.
Two other bills have an im
portant bearing on the tax prob
lem, LB 272, by Sens. Earl Lee of
Fremont, Art Carmody of Tren
ton and Hal Bridenbaugh of Da
kota City providing that all prop
erty be assessed at just half its
actual value; and LB 89 by Lee
and Sei Dwight Burney of Har
tington limiting tax collections
to 105 percent of the total col
lected the previous year. The
second measure is important be
cause if all valuations are raised
to 100 percent and the levies are
not lowered, the total tax dol
lar take will be staggering.
All three measures are sched
uled for hearing this week and
the senators were preparing to set
aside other matters in Order to
clear the decks for speedy ac
tion.
* * *
School Lands—
Measures to untangle the knot
ty land lease snarl and receiving
generally good treatment in the
first stages of consideration by
the legislature.
The education committee has
reported out to the floor two
bills which were written as a
result of a study of the problem
by Sen. Bob McNiitt’s legisla
tive council committee.
One, LB 97, repeals the pro
vision that half the payment for
the assignment of a lease should
go to the state and the other,
LB 95 provides for appraisal of
the lands every three years in
stead of every five as at present.
* * *
Undecided —
The miscellaneous appropria
tions committee couldn’t imme
diately decide what to do with a
proposal by Sen. Herbert J. Duis
of Gothenburg that county boards
be allowed to fix the salaries of
county officials.
The officials themselves ap
pared divided on the bill, LB 9.
Leslie Stull, Box Butte county
Commissioner contended that be
cause of widely differing condi
tions between counties, the of
ficials’ salaries could be better
determined locally.
A delegation from Sarpy coun
ty also spoke for the bill but a
group from Wayne county op
posed it.
* * *
Delay —
This week’s sh9Wd9Wn fight cm
the highway battle has been de
layed &t least a week.
Sen. Arthur Carmody of Tren
ton,who with Sens. Tom Coffey
df Ataia and Hugh Carson of Ord,
has Introduced * highway com
mission bill, LB 4, agreed to held
up floor debate on the measure
until a watered-down "highway
committee” bill, by Sens. Karl
Vogel of Omaha and Hal Briden
baugh of Dakota City can be con
sidered.
*
Both Vogel and Bridenbaugh i
are opponents of the highway
commission bill. Their mea
sure. LB 268. will be heard by
Sen. Carson's public works
committee this Friday.
ljs There is a strong possibility
that this session may see re-en
acted the breakup of highway
legislation which took place in
the closing days of the 1951 ses
sion.
The backers of bills to in
crease highway revenue by up
ping the gas tax and registra
tion fees have threatened to
withdraw them if LB 4 passes.
And by the same token, the
Carmody-Carson-Coffey group
will not support the revenue bills
unless the commission bill is ap
proved.
* * *
Go Home —
Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scotts
bluff has offered a resolution
calling on his colleagues to ac
cept Gov. Crosby’s budget recom
mendations and quit.
He said he realizes it’s a dras
tic step but he knows no other
way to convince the public that
the governor’s budget isn’t all
right the way it is.
In effect, he wants to toss the
ball to Crosby and say, “Here,
it’s yours, run with it.”
* « *
Fight —
Battle lines are already being
drawn in what could be one of
the warmest rhubarbs of the ses
sion.
It’s over Sen. Glenn Cramer’s
LB 467 which would impose a
2 percent severance tax on oil
and gas produced in Nebraska.
The income would be earmarked
for the permanent school fund
and Cramer offered it at the re
quest of the Nebraska State Ed
ucation association.
Leading the opposition will be
Sen. A. A. Fenske of Sunol in
whose district the fast-develop
ing oil and gas industry is cen
tered. Sen. Terry Carpenter of
Seettsbluff is another ardent foe.
Several eastern Nebraska sena
tors think the time has come to
slap “reasonable” tax on th new
industry and they reject the ar
guments of industry spokesmen
that development has not reached
the point where taxation and reg
ulation will not be deterrents.
* * *
Fired —
Governor Crosby has “ac
cepted the resignation’’ of an
other appointee of ex-Gov. Val
Peterson. The governor handed
reporters a statement saying that
Assistance Director Neil C. Van
demoer’s leaving gave him a
“feeling of regret.”
And at the same press confer- ;
ence, he announced the appoint
ment of Mayme J. Stukel, an 11
year veteran of the aid depart
ment to succeed him.
But Vandemoer said he’d been
fired and that he hadn’t been
given a reason. He said he
thought he still had some val
uable service to offer the state
as he has for the past 16 years.
