Gas Tax Allocation Hot Issue LINCOLN—The legislature this week squared away for business now that the period for introduc tion of bills had ended. Monday of this week was the deadline and everyone, it seemed, got into the act and under the wire. Lines now will be formed on major issues and the slow, steady work of writing laws will begin. As always in legislation, com promise will be involved, not “compromise” in a cowardly sense, but the working out of problems to the satisfaction of as many different factions as possible. This principle was being ap plied to what could have been one of the most explosive issues in the session — allocation to the counties of their share of the state gasoline tax. The more populous counties like the present formulas which are based on census figures and motor vehicle registration data. As they grow more populous, they gain more of a share of the gas tax at the expense of the more thinly-settled counties. This has brought a demand by the less populous counties for a new formula. One day of sharp debate on the matter showed that the situation could cause more strife this ses sion than any other conceivable issue. * * * ‘ComDromise’ Formula— So the wiser heads began try ing to work out a formula which would satisfy as many different people as possible. In general the bill which came out would pro vide that each coumy would al ways get a set percentage. This was to assure the less pop ulous counties that each time there was a new census they would not get a smaller share. At the same time £he bill was designed to take away a good deal of money from the most populous counties, especially Douglas (Omalia) and Lan caster (Lincoln). But to keep the seven Omaha and three Lincoln senators from fighting the measure, the bill con tained a provision that Would split differently the money com ing to their counties. More mon ey would be allocated to city streets and less to country roads. So in the long run the chief losers would be the country roads in the more populous counties. But it was pointed out that Doug las county is already blacktopping its county roads and Lancaster county has most of its gravelled. Whether the compromise bill would have enough to please most of the senators could not be known until general debate start ed. Those framing the measure could only hope they were stalling off a fight that could affect other important matters before this session. Blind School— Meanwhile, early in the ses sion the legislature was dealing with a subject having all the pa thos imaginable. That is the effort by some par ents of blind Nebraska children to have the state school for the blind moved away from Nebraska City. They contend that the struc ture there is antiquated and point to a state fire marshal’s report which virtually called it a fire trap. However, they say that rath er than keeping the school at Ne braska City it should be moved to some town more centrally located and with a good college. Their choice, made at a meet ing last fall, was Kearney. So among the bills introduced in the legislature was one to move the school to Kearney, where training could be offered by the Kearney State Teachers’ training college there. This, of course, brought opposi tion from Nebraska City. Another blow came for Nebraska City when Gov. Robert Crosby in his budget message recommended the school be moved. But then Omaha Sen. George Syas introduced a bill to move the school to his city. For a while it began to look as though nothing would be done. Sen.. Norman Otto of Kearney added to the confusion by saying he thought the wrong approach was being made. He suggested a study. Incidentally, he had not been one of the introducers of the Kearney bill. At this critical point Sen. Don ald McGinley of Ogallala, who had introduced the Kearney bill, introduced a resolution calling for an immediate study. He suggested that the entire legislature should visit the present school. Nebraska City then invited the entire legislature and made ar rangements for legislators to come see for themselves before making a final decision. Lighter Side— As in every session, some bills afforded senators a chance for hu mor. One of these was a bill to curb the growing beaver population. The humor came because its in troducer was none other than Sen. John Beaver of Beemer. Beaver said he didn’t want to start a “Beaver Must Go” club but explained that the beaver pop ulation has grown so much it is bothering farming operations through excessive dam building. The bill was eventually passed. I WESLEYAN METHODIST (O’Neill) Rev.
