Throughout the %• and 1-ton

pickup, stake, panel and package
delivery chassis models that offer
Hydra-Matic Drive*—
as well as the highest-compression gas
aline truck engines ever designed.
Dual-Range Hydra-Matic Drive
has one setting lor traffic — another
lor gas-saving open going. Hydra
Matic takes over all gearshifting
effort AND judgment.
An ultramodern engine brings the
tremendous lift of 8.0-1 compres

even more power delivered to
the wheels, there’s more mileage
squeezed from the gas!
There’s a new electrical system —
greater stopping power — heavier

Current Land Values Compared to
20-Year Term Thought Best Yardstick
_
<<K
LINCOLN—The Nebraska leg
islature turns its attention this
week to highways, a matter pret
ty much crowded out of the
spotlight so far by the property
tax headache.
The revenue committee has
held public hearings on two
bills which would re-enact the
1949 revenue laws knocked out
in the 1950 referendum.
A poll of the committee indi
cates' that both measures com
mand enough votes to win them
advancement to the floor of the
legislature. Their fate after that
isn’t so certain.
The bills—-4o raise the gas
tax a penny and to raise ve~
hide registration fees —
brought out two of the ses
sion's biggest crowds.
Highlight of the two hearings
was a suggestion by the Nebras
ka Farm Bureau federation,
spearhead of the attack on the
1949 laws, that another statewide
vote be taken to test the con
tention of the bills’ backers that
the people have changed their
minds since 1950 when they vot
ed to repeal the revenue laws.
Meanwhile, the public works
committee was seeking to coord
inate two bills providing lor a
new agency to oversee the state
ii^hway department
And * State Engineer Harold
A tken went before the legisla
ture this week to present an up
to-now report on the exact sta- i
tus of Nebraska’s highway sys
tem.
* * *
Defense—
The state board of equaliza
; tion, faced with the prospect of
being in contempt of the Nebras
ka supreme court, sought to get
out from under last week by
taking action in the now-famous
Johnson county case which
caused all the trouble to start
with.
The board cut Johnson county
farm land valuations by 15 per
cent and said it was done “with
the hope that such action will
be considered to be in compli
ance with the mandate” of the
high court.
The board faced the contempt
charge because it had failed to
change Johnson county valua
tions which are the highest in
the state when measured against
the average 20-year sales ppice.
The nut in valuations moved
Lewis Laflin, the Johnson coun
ty landdowner who brought the
original action, to drop his ap
peal from the board’s February
4 action but the board still must
show up in supreme court on
March 5 and defend itself
against the contempt allegation.
The board lowered Ihe John
son county valuations on the
third try. When Val Peterson
was still governor, Laflin ask
ed that the assessment figures
be trimmed but nothing was
do no. Peterson, who had urg
ed "equalizing downward,"
was moved to advise Laflin,
"If I owned land in Johnson
county, I'd mandamus this
board lo reduce the valua
tions."
Laflin took the advice and the
supreme court ordered the
board to meet again and do
>
something. The board met but
did nothing. That’s what prompt
ed the contempt threat.
This time the board finally
discovered that Johnson county
assessments in 1952 were “dis
proportionate to the state aver
age.”
Members of the board now are
Governor Crosby, Secretary of
State Frank L Marsh, State
Treasurer Frank B. Heintze,
State Auditor Ray C. Johnson
and Tax Commissioner Norris
J. Anderson.
* * •
Proposal—
Sen. O. H. Uebers of Lincoln
has come up with a new pro
posal to chart the way out of the
state’s property tax tangle.
Put simply, it suggests using
farm land, Nebraska’s most sta
ble and basic resource, as the
material from which to whittle
a yardstick ior measuring tax
valuations.
Liebers thinks the ratio be
tween the current value of farm
lands to its value over the past
20 years is the proper measuring
stick. If, for instance, the state
wide average of land sales in
1952 was $80 an acre and over
the past 20 years, the average ;
was $40 an acre, then the ratio
would be 50 percent and this
would be the figure at which all
property assessments would be
the figure at which all property
assessments would be figured.
If the ratio worked out to be
figured,
of its value.
A bill establishing the prin
ciple has been introduced at the
request of Governor Crosby.
* * *
Prompt—
Governor Crosby lost no time
signing a hill which the leaders
of his party had hoped he’d veto.
The 'measure repeals the pre
primary law and means the par
ties will no longer endorse can
didates in the primary elections.
State GOP Chairman Dav.d T.
Martin of Kearney had opposed
the bill and there was some spec
ulation at the statehouse that
Crosby would refuse to sign it.
But sign it he did on the very
day it hit his desk.
Capitol insiders pointed out
that even had the governor
wanted to veto the bill, it was
unlikely that he could make it
stick. The measure passed with
23 votes, one more than was
needed, with 16 votes against
it and four members not vot
ing. Twenty - six votes are
needed to override a veto.
One senator who voted against
passage of the bill told me he
would switch and vote to over
rule the governor “simply be
cause I don’t think a governor
should tell us how to vote.”
* * *
Trouble—
LB 9 is in for trouble.
That’s the measure allowing
county boards to fix salary lim
lits of county officials and em
ployees. The bill had a little dif
ficulty getting past the govern
ment committee and was in pret
ty wobly shape when it reached
the floor.
And at week’s end, Sen. W. J. i
Williams of Kearney had pre- i
pared a motion to kill it and it
appeared he had the votes to do
the job.
* * *
Batting .500—
The city of Milford batted .500
in the legislature last week. The
lawmakers passed a bill to abol
ish the home for unwed mothers
and the budget committee kill
fcd a bill to close the state trade
school.
Sen. George Syas of Omaha
was the sponsor of both mea
sures and Governor Crosby had
told the legislature in his budget
message that he thought they
should be closed.
Although it may take a trim
ming on its budget, the trade
school seemed likely still to be
in business when the legislature
goes home.
* * *
No, Thanks—
The lawmakers said, “No,
thanks,” to Sen. Terry Carpen
ter’s invitation to pass Governor
Crosby’s budget recommenda
tions and go home right now.
Carpenter could scare up only
five votes beside his own for his
resolution which was made on
the basis that if the governor
thinks he can run the state on
the budget he proposed, let him
try it and if the people think the
legislators haven’t the intellect
to pass good laws, then let’s go
home.
* • *
No. 43—
Nebraska soon will have its
43rd legislator. Sen. Ed Lusien-1
ski of Columbus, who represents
Nance and Platte counties, has
been absent since the start of
this session and newspapers and
voters in his district have com
plained biterly abrout not being
represented.
His resignation was expected
seme time this week from Om
aha where he has been ill for
several weeks.
Governor Crosby’s office de
clined to indicate who is under
consideration but there is con
siderable speculation on behalf
of Robert C. Brower of Fullerton
who lost to Lusienski last No
vember by only 89 votes.
* *
Spanking—
The teacher in Hamilton
county who spanked her pupils
still holds a license from the
state education department.
Superintendent Freeman B.
Decker who held a hearing on a
parent’s charge that her son wus
spanked until he was black and
blue said he warned Mrs. Ida
Bell that “the evidence indicated
she was using this means of pun
ishment more than should be
necessary in a well - operated
school.”
Decker stressed that his fail
ure in revoke the license, as the
outraged mother had asked,
“does not mean to establish any
principles” in regand to spanking
since each case will be decided
cn its own merits.
• * *
Watershed—
The legislature’s committee 1
on public works has given the j
green light to a bill authorizing
the establishment of watershed
districts in Nebraska.
Stripped of most of the con
troversy which surrounded a
similar measure last session, the
bill drew a crowd only a frac
tion the size of the one which
jammed the hearing room two
years ago.
The bill, LB 99, is the result
of a legislative council commit
tee study and is given a better
than-even chance of passage by
the legislature, although it is
certain to be amended in many
places.
