State Capitol N ews ... Public Will Remain in Dark on How Legislators Vote in Committe< LINCOLN—Roads moved back into the legislative spot light this week as two committees sent out bills to setup an advisory high way commission and to reenact the penny-a-gallon gas tax in crease voted down in the 1950 referendum. Because the Nebraska consti tution requires certain state of ficers to live in Lincoln, spon sors of a full-time “board of di rectors” commission bill last week gave up on their attempts to create an executive commis sion and settled for the advisory Sroup provided for in the mea - sure sponsored by Sen. Karl Vo of Omaha. The gas tax bill, which would ° bring an estimated $4% million fin state funds came out of the _ revenue committee with only cine dissenting vote and was giv «en a good chance of passage. The proposal raises the state Ux on gasoline from five to six cents a gallon. If it passes with fctoe emergency clause, it will become effective upon signature by the governor and the high way department could take ad vantage of the heavy spring and Summer travel in the state. a By the time the money is matched with federal funds, the gwospective additional revenue is nearly $10 million. A plan whereby the state could keep the services of State Engineer Harold Aitken was un der consideration this week by Gov. Robert B. Crosby. Aitken has tendered his resig nation to accept a post as No. 1 assistant to former Gov. Val Pet erson, now head of the federal civil defense administration. The plan, suggested by Sen. Arthur Carmody of Trenton, chairman of the legislature’s budget committee, is intended to poor Aitken a salary comparable to the one offered by the Wash ington post. Aitken now gets T7J500 a year and he has been offered nearly twice that. Carmody suggested that Ait hen resign as state engineer and that somebody else be appointed to the job or that°it be left va lor a while. Then, the sen proposes, Aitken could as the post of business mana ger and public relations director —-a job especially created for bow-—at any salary Crosby cares to name. Aitken is known to prefer his 's ML H. D. GILDERSLEEVE. * OPTOMETRIST 'Permanent Office* in Hageneick Bldg. ° O’NEILL, NEBR. Phone 1«7 c Ere* Examined .

Secret— The public will have to remair in the dark on how senators vote on bills being considered by leg islative committees. That became evident last week when the law makers, by a vote of 23-18 turned down a motion to repudiate the “uryvritten rule” against report ing"" individual votes in commit tee.0 Some of the debate on the proposal shocked even the hard ened lobbyists, who ironically, are among the first to know how members vote in committee. * * * Diversion— Thursday of next week, March 26, will be a big day in the leg islature. That’s ° the day Sen. Hugh Carson’s public works com mittee will hold a public hearing on Sem Richard Marvel’s LB gll, the water diversion'hill. In past sessions, diversion bills have attracted huge throngs to the statehouse. Proponents of diversion were claiming victory of a sort "this week with dthe agreement be tween Tri-County and Mid-State on a water use compact. Sen. Marvel hailed the event as “a step toward progress” but Sen. Joe Martin of Grand Island, the arch-enemy of diversion, said°the Mid-State board had ex posed itself to reciBl action by the voters.
