Political Activity Increases
LINCOLN — The holiday
“slump” settled on the statehouse
this week with activity not ex
pected to pick up until after the
first of the year.
The political pot probably will
start bubbling shortly after the
holidays. There has been a notice
able increase in activity political
ly in the waning days of 1955.
Interest will center primarily
on what presidential candidates
plan to enter the 1956 Nebraska
elections. And more hats will be
tossed into the ring for state con
tests.
Meanwhile, state departments
turned to summarizing accom
plishments of 1955.
The school building services for
the state education department
said Nebraskans voted a record
$45,171,400 worth of school con
struction bonds this year.
Floyd Parker, services director,
said the month of November
alone, with a bond election total
of $30,75,000, surpassed the rec
ord for any previous year. Thirty
nine communities approved bonds
this year. The biggest issued
included $20,000,000 in Omaha,
$10,000,000 in Lincoln and $7,500,
000 in Lincoln and $7,500,000 in
the Omaha Westside district.
Eleven communities turned
proposed bond issues totaling $6,
299,000.
Parker said 41 or more com
munities put new, enlarged or
renovated school buildings into
use in 1955. The most costly of
this category was the $2,725,000'
senior high school at Grand Is
land.

Retirement Votes Checked—
State Tax Commissioner Fred
Herrington is busy this week
checking eligibility of teachers
who balloted on whether they
want to come under social se
curity coverage.
Herrington supervised the elec
tion, authorized by the last session
of the legislature.
Ballots are contained in enve
lopes. On the outside of the enve
lopes are the names of voters.
These will be checked against a
list of those eligible.
Those eligible were teachers
and school employees who are
under the Nebraska school retire
ment system.
Herrington estimated there are
some 10,000-11,000 ballots to be
checked. A representative of Her
rington’s office, the Nebraska
State Education association, and
the retirement system, will judge
eligibility and supervise counting
of ballots.
* * *
Practical Nurses—
Mrs. Louise Casey of Omaha is
the first to be registered in Ne
braska as a practical nurse.
The state board of nursing an
nounced Mrs. Casey and 117 oth
ers were in the first group to
take examinations after the new
licensing law passed by the 1955
legislature.
Nebraska is the 46th state to
have licensure of practical nurses.
Mrs. Casey is secretary of the
Practical Nurses association of
Nebraska, and was active in the
movement to obtain passage of
the law.
* * *
Farming Summary—
One of the “noteworthy” fea
tures of Nebraska farming in 1955
was the huge increase in the ir
rigated corn acreage, according to
Agriculture Director Ed Hoyt.
Hoyt, in summing up the farm
situation, said that while slump
ing livestock prices toward the
end of the year “p/ill hurt farm
income, we still had pretty good
returns” earlier in the year from
livestock and livestock products.
Experts said feeder cattle prices
held up fairly well throughout
the year, but hog prices dipped to
their lowest level in more than a
decade. Part of the swine price
trouble was blamed on excessive
production.
Said the experts: “In brief, 1955
was generally a good year for Ne
braska wheat, irrigated corn and
cattle producers, but a rough one
for dry land farmers and swine
raisers.”
The state’s total corn produc
tion was 95,200,000 bushels, with
irrigated land accounting for half
the total. The crop was only 41
percent of the 1954 total and av
eraged only 16 bushels per acre,
the lowest since 1939.

Unfrozen Funds—
Nebraska’s 93 counties are
sharing nearly $3,000,000 in stite
gasoline tax money, until recently

cording to the letter of the Jaw

the counties could not recover
past-due funds.
Several counties appealed The

frozen in Lancaster county district
court.
The money was being held
pending a ruling on Nebraska’s
gasoline tax distribution laws.
Former State Treasurer Frank
Heintze brought the suit against
all the counties and deposited the
funds with the court. He wanted
an interpretation of the distribu
tion laws.
Some of the populous counties
had contended that Heintze used
an outdated formula in determin
ing how much of the gasoline tax
money the counties should get and
thus they did not receive their
fair share.
The suit was decided substan
tially in favor of Heintze. The
court held that while Heintze
