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

. 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.
Despite the compact, a ding
dong battle was still in the mak
ing.,
