State Capitol News . . - Curtis Leads in Polls LINCOLN — As the state board of equalization this week sat at its task of equalizing assess ments among the counties, the picture looked brighter in most respects than had been anticipa ted. At least there would be noth ing like the shuddering chang es made by the board at this same time last year when every county was affected by at least one equalization change. If this year goes off without too much trouble, it will probably mean that the practice as well as the principle of equalization is here to stay. This would mark a decided change from the 33 years before last year’s equalization ef fort-—a period when assessments gradually backslid into a crazy quilt of differences across the state. The key to the situation this year might be Omaha and Doug las county. Much might depend on what their assessmentefforts have been. At week’s end their abstract of assessments had not been forwarded to the state board of equalization. Not only does Douglas county have one-fifth of the total taxable property in the state, but also there is the political difficulty of an office holder having to vote to increase the assessments of that many voters in an election year. Fortunately, two members of the board—State Auditor Ray Johnson and Secretary of State Frank Marsh—are without op position in the August 10 pri mary. State Tax Commissioner George Peterson is an appointive officer. However, Gov. Robert Crosby and State Treasurer Frank Hein tze, the other two of the five members are up for office. Cros by is running for the long term in the U. S. senate. Heintze is running for Douglas county trea surer, and is expected to vote for decreases in assessments, a t least for Douglas county. Al though Gov. Crosby has withheld comment on his intentions, it is generally considered that he will “hold the line.” The bright aspects of the situa tion seemed to be these: 1. Most county boards have held the line, using much of the same real estate assessments as last year. It is estimated that <18 to 20 have lowered their assess meats. In some cases land values may have dropped. In others, such as Buffalo (Kearney) county where the county board took a deep slash, the prediction is that the state board will pull assess ments back into line. Overall a check of 72 out of 93 counties showed that all property assessments were down only 4.3 percent. Individual schedules dropped only 2.3 percent, bus iness schedules 7.3 percent, and real estate 8.1 percent. 2. Some county assessors and boards may have held the line so strictly that they may get a slight decrease. In other words, if the state board allows a toler ance of a few percentage points a county which stayed right at at 50 percent mark might merit a slight decrease. This could bring a merited reward to con scientious officials. Final action by the board is not expected until about the end of the month of July. * * * Who's Ahead Some of Nebraska’s political races had a neck-and-neck qual ity which made it difficult to determine who would be the eventual winners in the August 10 primary. Particulary difficult to guage is the U. S. senate six-year term race in which Gov. Robert Cros by, Congressman Carl Curtis, Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff, and David Martin of Kearney appeared to be top contenders. The race for the republican nomination in the First congress ional district was made difficult to predict because two men new to election politics are en tered—Phil Weaver o f Falls City and Ira Bey non of Lincoln. Weaver’s best hope seemed to lie in his well-known name—his father having been the late Gov. A. J. Weaver, Beynon is expected to campaign on his experience in Washington, D. C., with the de partment of defense. It was anybody’s guess in the short term U. S. senate race where 16 republicans and three democrats are entered. On the re publican side at least it seemed that names the public has heard of before—Max Denny of Fair bury, Hugh Carson of Ord, or “Mac” Baldridge of Omaha— would have the best chance. * * * Anderson Has Edge— One of the few sure races seemed to be the republican nom ination for governor where Vic tor Anderson of Lincoln appeared to have the edge. Lancaster Co. Atty. Frederick Wagener report edly was gaining votes but was not well enough known to be a real challenge. Some said he was working for a shot at the gover norship two years from now. Back to that long-term senate race, jou could hear a different predicition from any three diff erent prediction from any three erent political observers. Gov. Crosby appeared defini tely to have the backing of some of the supporters of President Eisenhower. This was made ob vious when he recently visited Washington, D. C., had a talk with “Ike” and had lunch at the White House with administration leaders around Eisenhower. It was an obvious attempt to identify Crosby with Eisenhower, but sideliners read little into the White House visit. Ike hasn’t given either Curtis or Crosby an outright blessing, and this can be interpreted as a sign he’ll stay out of the squabble. The big political question was whether this would outweigh the resentment in some quarters at Crosby’s part in equalization last year. xnt; wtrisiiL ui cue tuuaci vau.vc elements seemed to be swinging behind Congressman Curtis. This was shown when Lynn Mote, ad ministrative assistant to the late Sen. Hugh Butler, came to Ne braska to help with Curtis’s cam paign. The big question with Curtis was whether Butler’s death hurt or helped him. Some said it cut off financial support upon which he had counted. Others said it brought into the open support , which had been waiting to be | sure where Butler stood, i Curtis is sighting his cam paign on the position that Ne braka needs his experience in congress since it lost so heavily in seniority in recent years through the deaths of Sen. Dwight Griswold and Mr. But ler. Meanwhile, Terry Carpenter has been carrying out the most concentrated handshaking cam paign of all, traveling steadily since June 15. Carpenter was banking on the fact that he is well-known and also because he believes Nebraska’s farmers are increasingly unhappy with the farm policies of the present ad ministration. “Whether he likes it or not, the farmer is tied to me,” Car penter declares, “I’m the only j man in this race favoring high, rigid supports. If the farmers don’t elect me, everyone will say they don’t want rigid price sup ports. I’m their only hope. Carpenter contends that David Martin is picking up some strength. He figures this will help him because he believes Martin will get his votes from what Crosby or Curtis might have had. Curtis is expected to poll a heavy vote in his own district plus picking up a hefty batch of the conservative votes. Curtis has been leading in the various polls that have been conducted. * * * Highway Spending— Governor Crosby at a national conference of governors at Bol ton’s Landing, N. Y., went on re cord as opposing more federal encroachment on building high ways. A proposal by President Eisenhower that the federal government and the states carry out a 50-billion-dollar highway building program together brought fears by some governors that it might mean federal en croachment. Governor Crosby suggested that instead the fed eral government should stop levying a gasoline tax and allow the states to get this money themselves for highway con struction. * * * Rails Launch Plea— The state board of equalization met Saturday to receive formal appeals of railroads from the 1954 valuations prescribed by the board for tax purposes. The appeals came from the Burlington and Union Pacific railroads. The board took them under advisement. Under the formula announced earlier by the equalization board, the railroad valuation this year becomes $146,637,000, compared with a 1953 valuation of $155, 813,000. Phony $20 Bills Being Circulated O’Neill stores were warned this week by federal officials of counterfeit $20 bills now being circulated in Nebraska. Clerks and store owners were alerted for the bills which are “K” series notes on the Dallas federal re serve bank. Numbers of the bills are “K02988040A” and “K0922794 5A.” O'NEILL LOCALS Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Harding and Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Riley departed late Saturday for a week’s vacation in Yellowstone national park.

Edison in vented the first practical incandescent lamp, people ridiculed his suggested plan to string wire from a central generating plant to homes so that everyone might enjoy man’s first, truly efficient source of electric light. However, true genius that he was, Edison was determined that his new discovery should work to the benefit of all—not just a privi leged fete. The year 1954 bears witness to the fact that Edison’s dream of seventy-five years ago, the dream of a better way of life for the common man, is now a fact—a fact accepted as commonplace by millions of American families. Today, in Nebraska, Consumers Public Power District operates and maintains more than 4,000 miles of transmission lines to bring Edison’s dream of seventy-five years ago—low-cost electric light and power—to more than 350 Nebraska communities.
