Youthful Senators Forming Bloc?
LINCOLN—The first signs that
a progressive bloc may be
emerging in the legislature were
to be seen this week in the legis
lature.
One sign was an innocent look
ing letter from four young sena
tors to State Tax Commissioner
Fred Herrington asking for in
formation on the taxation of rail
roads and of motor vehicles.
Signing it were Sens. Mon
roe Bixler of Harrison, William
Metzger of Cedar Creek, Joseph
Martin of Grand Island and Don
ald McGinley of Ogallala.
Observers believed that the
letter was sent to obtain some
ammunition with which to over
power any roadblocks the rail
roads set up in the way of the tax
reform program.
It asked for the record of val
uations and formulas used for as
sessing railroad property the past
10 years, income from this source,
and formulas used for assessing
motor vehicles. Tax Commission
er Herrington was asked for his
“scientific estimate” of the sound
ness of past formulas used by the
state board of equalization in de
termining the valuations of rail
roads and motor vehicles.
By law the railroads them
selves provide information on
which they are taxed. The state
board of equalization accepts it
and valuations are set on that ba
sis.
Two years ago at assessment
time Gov. Robert Crosby remark
ed in surprise at a state board of
equalization meeting that the rail
roads seemed to be the only ones
in the state who pretty much set
their own valuations. He said he
imagined a great many real estate
owners would like to have that
privilege.
But of considerable importance,
also, the letter to Herrington
might indicate some new blood
stirring in the legislature.
Some observers felt the Her
rington letter might be a bonding
of some of the younger senators
to work against this status quo
elements in the legislature. It
might form the nucleus to attract
other legislators
It could not be conveniently ]
labelled anything like a “sales'
tax group” because Senator Mar- !
tin, for example, is strongly j
against a sales tax. But it could j
be an element for the state to
watch in the coming weeks.
* * *
Toll Roads—
Just when it began to look as
if a toll road effort was doomed
in Nebraska, Gov. Victor Ander
son came out strong for the idea.
Every indication was that the
legislature would refuse a $150,
000 loan to the Nebraska Turn
pike authority for engineering
studies to see whether a toll road
would pay in Nebraska.
A bill is even before the legis
lature to abolish the authority.
But then Governor Anderson
attended a governors’ conference
at Evansville, Ind., and signed a
resolution endorsing the toll road
idea. When he came back, he said
he wasn’t-“crusading” for a toll
road but said he believed one
eventually will span the United
States. Whether it will cross Ne
braska or some other state is the
question, he said.
Governor Anderson said he
would like the people to have the
facts and then let them decide by
a vote if possible. He said later
he had no particular plan for
this. It might be done either
through an initiative or a refer
endum.
* * *
Mental Health—
The state board of control, al
ready under fire for its operation
of the penal institutions, got some
severe criticism on Nebraska’s
mental health program.
At the invitation of the legisla
ture, Douglas county Welfare Di
rector, Philip Vogt of Omaha, and
Dr. G. Lee Sandritter, superin
tendent of the Hastings state
mental hospital, gave talks on
their opinions on the subject.
Vogt was out-and-out critical
of the board of control, contend
; ing it had shown “cynical atti
tudes , uninformed leadership,
lack of concern and poor plan
ning.”
Doctor Sandritter with charts
and diagrams showed the results
of a program of “intensive early
treatment” of mentally ill pa
tients to cure them before their
condition becomes permanent. It
requires a staff of highly trained
doctors and ward aides.
He said that because the board
of control had held down salary
scales at the mental hospitals the
effectiveness of the program had
fallen off the past two years. He
declared there are 2,000 persons
in the state mental hospitals who
needn’t be there if Nebraska had
carried out “an up-to-date pro
gram.”
* * *
Right to Know—
Representatives of the Nebras
ka Press association and of other
newspaper groups were sucessful
in getting the legislature judi
ciary committee to kill LB116, a
bill which would have excluded
the public and the press from ju
venile court proceedings.
Dr. Frank Court of Lincoln said
the bill was good because it would
protect the child from bad publi
city.
But Stu Bohacek, editor of the
Wilber Republican, noted that
most newspapers in the state
don’t use the names of juveniles
—at least on their first offense.
Guy Ludi of Wahoo, chairman
of the NPA legislative committee,
said the bill was an example a
gainst the people’s right to know
what was going on in their
courts. Lester Walker of the Fre
mont Guide & Tribune and Arch
Donovon of the Lincoln Star also
spoke against the bill at the com
mittee hearing.
