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

4,000 miles
to bring you
one man's dream
In 1879, the year Thomas A. 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.
