the sum of $1,000.00 was paid

A
Train-Saving Bill Surprises Experts
LINCOLN — Sen. Frank Nel
son’s bill LB 554, which was giv
en a rousing 27-11 vote Monday
morning upon final reading, was
a distinct surprise to the experts.
Veteran legislative observers
gave the Nelson bill meager
chances when it was introduced.
But the hard-working descendant
of Denmark, who has operated a
combination ranch-farm up Holt
county way for 49 years, rode
herd on the bill all the way, gain
ing momentum as the proposal
moved along.
Nelson was up against stubborn
and powerful labor resistance,
had virtually no help, and now
LB 554 awaits only Governor
Anderson’s signature.
* • *
Inching Toward Close—
The state legislature
inched its way toward adjourn
ment, bothered with budgets,
highway revenues, and investiga
tions to the last.
This week it took up its re
cord-breaking budget bill, al
ready providing $219 million for
state agencies to spend and
threatening to go over the $220
million mark. This figure—which
includes property tax funds,
cigaret, gasoline, and liquor tax
revenues, tuition at state schools,
and federal matching funds—is
up $25 million from the previous
biennial budget.
About $11 million more in pro
perty tax income will be re
quired. The general fund levy
probably will have to be in
creased a little more than a mill
to take up the slack (that is, $1
more tax per $1,000 of assessed
valuation).
Where does it go:
Sen. Hal Bridenbaugh of Da
kota City, chairman of the bud
get committee, explained to the
legislature that four major areas
swallow up 86 percent of the to
tal budget. They are:
Highways, $76,561,500; higher
education (the University of Ne
braska and the teachers’ training
colleges) $43,322,687; the public
welfare (assistance) program,
$33,194,900; and state penal,
mental, and educational institu
tions $32,703,015.
Bridenbaugh placed the blame
for even higher budgets directly
on the demands of the people for
more and better services.
“Such factors as inflation and
growth in population alone would
explain much of the upward spi
ral of expenditures, but pri
marily they have resulted from
the demands of the people for
more and better services,” said
Bridenbaugh.
He added, “Without a reduc
tion of services, a significant de
crease in state expenditures will
net be possible.”

Ton-Mile Tax—
The legislature, already wea
therbeaten in battles over high
ways, took some more buffets.
By a slim 22 to 17 vote the sen
ators revived the controversial
LB 362, which would place a ton
mile tax on the largest trucks.
In another switch from pre
v i o u s action the Legislature
adopted the shortened version of
the state highway system submit
ted by the state advisory highway
commission. The vote was 23-18.
Still up in the air was the
question of whether an increase
in the license fees of trucks
would stand up.
The ton-mile tax affair de
veloped into a battle royal be
tween two of the biggest lobbies
in the state—the railroads and
the truckers. The railroads want
to saddle the tax on the big
trucks, their major competition,
and have worked with various
organizations to get the tax pass
ed.
The truckers through their Ne
braska Motor Carriers association
have bitterly resisted the effort
and succeeded in getting the bill
killed late in May.
But Sen. John Adams, sr., of
Omaha, who had voted to kill the
bill, asked reconsideration and
got the 22 votes to breathe life
into the measure again. Later
when he was criticized for jump
ing the fence,” the Omaha legis
lator delivered an oration prais
ing the railroads—and incidental
ly stripping the last facade off
the real backers of the measure.
The bill was eventually advan
ced 21-19. The margin was so
small that at week’s end it seem
ed nip-and-tuck that the bill
would survive all the way.
There were good arguments on
both sides. Those for the bill said
the big trucks should pay more
of the share of highway construc
tion and maintenance.
Those against it said the trucks
already are paying their way and
that passage of the bill would
destroy reciprocity agreements
with other states. They would
start charging a ton-mile tax on
Nebraska trucks going through
their states, increasing the costs
to Nebraska shippers.
Spokesmen for the truckers
warned that this would drive
trucking firms out of Nebraska.
Paul Halpine, executive secretary
for the motor carriers, predicted
it would cost Nebraska $1 million
in taxes and license fees.
* * *
Highway Map—
Just as touch-and-go and every
bit as filled with bitterness was
the proposal for a shortened ver
sion of the highway system. The
highway commission had propos
ed lopping off about 900 miles
and adding 400 more for a net
shortening of 500 miles. The leg
islature first adopted this map,
then an hour later they junked it
in favor of retaining the present
system. Several days later they
reconsidered and adopted the
commission map again. This
came over bitter protests of sen
ators from districts losing the
roads. They contended there
should have been public hearings
to allow their people to state
their cases.
* * *
School Lands—
School land leaseholders groups,
which had been skating on thin
ice' all session, finally lost out as
the legislature killed the last of a
group of bills trying to change
the present system. Knocked out
was LB 521, which had been kill
ed in the committee and then re
vived on the floor. This measure
called for a 25 percent cut in the
rental of school lands, now leased
at 6 percent per year of the ap
praised value set by the state
board of educational lands and
funds. The bill also called for
setting up a “pilot” system of unit
valuation—similar to share crop
ping. The feeling apparently was
that it was to late in the session
to try to work out anything so
complicated.
• • •
Investigation—
Hearings got underway on a
probe by a special legislature in
vestigation committee into al
leged “improper practices” on the
part of certain senators. The five
man committee is headed by Sen.
Robert Brower of Fullerton.
The legislature launched the
investigation after sworn testi
mony was offered in connection
with introduction of a bill to tax
coin vending machines. Sen. Sam
Klaver of Omaha has vigorously
denied all statements mentioning
him.
However, the hearings opened
with the bringing of witnesses
from the Nebraska Mobilhomes
association, a group of trailer
court owners. They were ques
tioned in connection with raising
a $2,500 fund for fighting LB 8, a
measure to regulate the trailer
courts.
This bill was favorably report
ed to the floor of the legislature
on February 9 by the Govern
ment committee of which Sen.
Klaver spearheaded a successful
effort in his own committee to
have the bill killed. Klaver ex
plained he had learned the bill
would be injurious to servicemen
from Offutt air force base living
in trailer courts near Omaha.
