MEISSNER Chief State Probation Officer 45-46c “The real purpose of intelligent conservation is simply to guard against willful waste so that fu ture generations need not be handicapped by woeful want.”— John Hays Hammond State Capitol News . . . Heavy Weather for Tax Reforms LINCOLN — The legislature this week was taking its first hard look at proposals to reform the property tax system alminis tration. The first bill to sail across the boards ran into heavy weather right off the bat. It was LB 150, a proposal to exempt from taxation all but seven items of household goods. It would replace the present sys tem where all household goods are taxed but the householder gets a $200 exemption first. In two days of debate the leg islature refused to sink the bill. But the loaded on some extra items such as fur coats, diamonds, jewelry, m u s c i a 1 instruments, and electric dishwashers not in cluded by the writers of the mea sure. LB 150 was one of seven tax re form bills written by a special le gislative council tax study com mittee, headed by Sen. Otto Lie bers of Lincoln. This same com mittee recommended the consti tutional amendment proposals placed on the November ballot by the legislature in a special session last spring and upon which the voters acted in the general elec tion [ * Another of these bills, LB 148, received approval by the legislature revenue committee. But some heavy going was ex pected. LB 148 would change the de finition of value. The Nebraska supreme court has said that un der the present law value for as sessment purposes means “mar ket value.” This sounds reasonoble at first glance. But the trouble is that some types of property sell so seldom that using figures from the few sales in a year may be unfair in determining all assess ments of that type of property. For example, in some counties very little farm land is sold. Yet according to present definition all assesments of that type of pro perty. For example, in some counties very little farm land is sold. Yet according to present definition all assessments must be pegged to the few sales. The same is true of downtown real estate in towns and cities Some of these business and com mercial buildings have never been sold. How, then, is an asses sor going to figure out the sale value? New Formula— LB 148 would allow assessors ! to base their valuations on such factors as relative location, earn ing capacity, desireability, re production cost and amount of depreciation, and comparision with other property of known value. Purpose is to give assessors “more tools” than just the inflex ible “market value” factor. Ernest Woodard of Hebron field man for the tax commission er’s office said that homes prob ably wouldn't have been assess ed as high the past two years if such a law had been in existence. But opposition is reportedly in the offing for the measure. * * * Railroad Opposition— It will come largely come from the railroads. Here is said to be the reasoning behind this opposi tion. Since railroads are not bought and sold every day or even every year, the present definition of “market value” doesn't fit them, therefore the railroads don’t want it. So attempts are expected in the legislature to either water down the bill so it won’t mean anything or to try to get it back ti where it really means “mar ket value” all over again. The fight over the measure thus might be one of the most crucial of this session. A third tax measure, LB 151, was killed by the revenue com mittee and then revived The point of this bill is that everyone keeps books on the basis of the first of the month and the present 10th of the month dosen’t fit any body’s system. * * * Business Inventories— The other tax measure to be heard thus far, LB 149, would provide for assessing merchants on the basis of their annual aver age inventory. At present they are taxed on the basis of what they have on hand on March 10. Witnesses at the revenue com mitte hearing on this bill said that the present system disrupts business because many merchants intentionally let their stocks get low for March 10. Many farmers sell their cattle before this date depressing the market. Using the average inventory over the year’s period would mean there would be no point in juggling inventories. Testimony was that it probably greatly in crease the tax revenue from this source. * * * Other Measuaes— Still to be heard are three other bills: LB 152, to allow the state tax commisioner to set up rules and regulations for tax assessing. LB 153, to place on ballot a constitutional amendment to set up a state tax commission. (This same proposal was narrowly de feated last November). LB 154, to place on the ballot a constitutional amendment to al low grain to be taxed on a per bushel basis, instead of the pre sent ad valorem method * A * Gas Tax Extended— The legislature by a resounding 37-6 vote re-enacted the sixth cent of gasoline tax for another four years. Gov. Victor Anderson immediately signed the bill into law in plenty of time for the May 9 deadline on which the present tax would have expired other wise. This sixth cent all goes to the state highway department and has enabled it in the past two years to push through a $35 mil lion highway improvement pro gram. A similar program is in store for the next two years. The vote was a resoonding pat on the back for the high way department, showing that the thinking of Nebraskans has changed markedly from four years ago when a voters’ refer endum took away revenues from the department. Part of this has come because citizens have become slowly con vinced that it is going to take money to clear up many of the highway problems. The other was that the high way department has done a spe cial job of wooing some of its strongest foes—the truckers, pe t r o 1 e u m interests and farm groups. > A lobbyist for one of these groups said that much credit should go to State Engineer L. N. Ress “who has bent over back wards to work out these things with us ” * * * Highway Program— The passage of the gas tax ex tension came on the heels of the highway department’s announce ment of its two year program. It includes 461 miles of black topping and 52 miles of new con crete road. Major highways sche duled for improvement are US 30, 81, 83, and 20, and Nebraska highways 3, 29, 50, and 93. A major tip-off of things to come was contained in the list of highway projects planned. It was a listing of one mile of road from Ogallala to the interstate system. Newspaper reporters followed this up and learned that if the federal bureau of roads continues to demand high standards for this defense highway project such towns as Ogallala will be bypassed. Ogallala widened its streets in 1948 and 1949 to head off such ■ —* a by-pass. Oljservers immediate ly speculated that if Ogallala were to be bypassed, it looked as though many other towns on US 30 from Grand Island west might be in for the same treatment. Swedes Need 2d Overtime to Win _ Tigers* Hopes for Lincoln Fade PLAINVIEW—The Inman Ti gers’ hopes for a place in the state tournament were blasted Thurs day night in the finals of the class E playoffs held at Plainview. The Concord Swedes came from behind to win, 59-57, in a game that went into two overtime per iods. Wylie Erwin, Concord hot shot, was responsible for making those two all-important points. Concord trailed during the first three quarters, but managed to tie up the score, 51-51, as the final buzzer sounded. Each squad managed to collect six tallies in the first overtime period. Butterfield of Inman had a pair of freethrows but was not able to put the ball through the hoop. Erwin was the only player able to tally in the second over time. The Inman team did the best job on the floor, but Concord’s freethrow performance earned the game. The Tigers scored 23 field ers while Concord was collecting 20. Concord hit 19 of 29 gift flips and Inman dumped in 11 of 20. Erwin hit 11 field goals and five of six chances from the foul line for 27 points. Don Kelley of Inman did one better. He scored 12 times from the field and four times out of five from the gift stripe for a nifty 28-point tally. Arlen Magnuson hit 15 for Con cord and Gene Couch scored 13 for the losers. On Wednesday night, March 2, the Tigers defeated Merriman in the first playoff game. Inman earlier had captured the Bruns wick tourney and Merriman had won the class E title at Valentine.

Hart ington led 19-10 at the end of the first frame. In the second period, the winners hit five tallies and Spencer scored four. Don Edwards plunked in 11 points in the last period to spark tre Spencer rally, but his work came too late.
