“North-Central Nebraska’s Finest”
State Capitol News . . .
Nebraska Is ‘Blank Spot’
LINCOLN—Distances between
many Nebraska cities might be
shortened in the next 12
months.
The-way that can come about
is through the action of the civil
aeronautics board in Washing
ton, D.C. Pending before the
board is the request of the Ne
braska aeronautics department
for local feeder airline service.
Nebraska right now is in the
center of a "blank spot as far
as feeder airlines go.
Feeder lines chanel passengers
and freight to terminal points.
In Nebraska these would be
Omaha and Lincoln.
Now, there is transcontinental
service to Grand Island, North
Platte and Scottsbluff by United
Airlines, to Sottsbluff and Alli
ance by Western and to Norfolk
by Braniff.
But the state aeronautics de
partment wants CAB to order
the trunk" line service dis
continued in favor of local ser
vice to 13 cities — Beatrice,
Hastings. Kearney, McCook,
Imperial. Sidney. Grand Is
land. North Platte. Scottsbluff.
Alliance, Chadron. Ainsworth
and Norfolk.
The dzpartment feels tnai ,
local service would better serve
Nebraskans and keep the state
abrest of commercial aviation
trends. .. _„
But Scottsbluff, North Platte
and Grand Island told CAB ex
aminer they don’t want to lose
I the trunk service of the United
which flies Convairs and oper
| ates without government subs
idy. for a local line, using DC-)
| equipment and which would re
quire supplemental federal
I funds. . .. . ,.
United said also it doesn t
want to pull out of the three
cities But Rolland Harr, director
of airports for the department,
said United is providing only
••token service”.
And, he said, the area cant
support a trunk line as well as
local carriers.
Harr says the network of lo
cal carriers would "change the
economy" of Nebraska and help
attract new industry. Cities, iso
lated virtually in the past,
would have access to an airline,
hlMany businesses could profit
by the fast service offered by
the airlines, he added.
The CAB will have three
questions to decide:
1. Should Nebraska have feed
er service?
2. If so. who should serve the
state? Four feeder lines—Ozark,
Central, Frontier and North
Central—are bidding to serve Ne
braska and six other states in
the midwest.
3. If feeder service is authoriz
ed should the three trunk air
lines be required to suspend
their operations?
Harr believes the decision will
have a far reaching effect on the
progress of commercial aviation
in Nebraska.

Railroad Values— *
The value of railroads in Ne
braska for tax purposes this
year has declined about five
percent, to a total of $138,782,
. 556. The 1955 amount was $147,
! 200,105.
, State tax Commissioner Free
Herrington announced the fig
; ures. They showed the taxable
value of the Union Pacific in
■ Nebraska dropped to $68,549,

Bold Action—
Gov. Victor Anderson says the
states that have made the most
progress in slashing traffic fa
talties have used “bold action".
Nebraska's not going to try
this right now, he said. Instead,
the governor favors an educa
tion campaign.
Said the governor: “If that
doesn’t work, we will have to
take more drastic action.’’
In some states, governors
have reinforced state police
with national guardsmen. But
the governor said experts be
lieve the job can be done with
education of cltiiens.
In Nebraska, said the govern
or. the state has built safer
r ids. added 34 \ atrolmen on the
highways, errected new speed
lit iijns and also ones pro
claiming that speed limits are
adar enforced.
• • •
Wage Earner—
If you consider yourself an
average wage earner, you made
about $3,597 in 1955, or just
about $108 more than in 1954,
according to the state labor de
partment's figures, the Univer
sity of Nebraska business re
search department came up with
the statement that the upward
trend in wages is "marvellous”.
And, said the publication,
"though causes for it are ob
scure, we can only hope that it
continues year after year into
the future.”
• • •
Sets Record—
Colorado's cross-ton-mile on
trucks, in effect for 18 months, is
bringing in record revenues to
the state highway fund. A ton
mile tax will confront Nebraska
voters in November.
In the first 12 months receipts
were 5ti-million-dollars compar
ed to 3-million for the last full
year under the old net ton mile.
