Hindsight on State Election
LINCOLN— Why do Nebras
ka:;.-; %oto the wav they do on
special issues or constitutional
amendments?
That question is under dis
cussion following the general e
lection which saw, contrary to
normal trends, three of six issues
win, and the remainder lose.
Normally voters either approve
them all or frequently, turn all
down.
The thinking in the past has
been since voters don’t under
stand the sometimes complex is
sues, they just vote "no." How
ever, the November 6 general
election doesn’t bear this out.
The proposed ton-mile tax, of
course, was highly controversial.
It wa- defeated, probably partly
because people didn't understand
it, and partly because of the
arguments of a strong, organized
opposition.
There was strong, organised
opposition to the amendment to
permit transferring of truck
overloading fines. Seventy-five
per cent would go to the high
way department, the remainder
stay in the counties in which
the 1? truck-weighing scales
state operated—are located.
tsut voters approved mis. me
amendment directs the legislature
to pas - a law taking the money
from school districts in the coun-!
lies and allocate it under the new
system.
School groups, led by the Ne
braska State Education associa
tion, and the state board of Edu
cation, vigorously opposed it and
conducted an extensive campaign
against the proposal.
An amendment to permit a dif
ferent method of taxing grain
had strong, organized and wide
spread support. It carried.
An amendment to permit a
change oftener than every eight
years in salaries of statehouse
executives, carried. It had no or
ganized opposition or support.
Neither did the amendment to
abolish the state board of equa- j
lization in favor of a tax com-1
mission. It lost.
The other loser wa* the
amendment to put a limit on
collection of back taxes. It had
no widespread support or op- j
position from organized groups.
Outcome of the balloting on I
the six issues might lead to a
conclusion that voters didn’t
want anything to do with any
proposal to change the tax sys
tem.
But, this does not entirely hold
true since they approved a dif
ferent method of taxing grain.
The theory held by election
observers that in order to carry a
proposed constitutional amend
•
ment must have organized sup
port didn’t apply either.
About the only thing that can
be noted with any certainty is
that voters apparently were
selective.
This showed up in balloting on
candidates. President Eisenhow
er, like he did nationally, got a
whopping vote. But from there
on it was anybody’s guess.
One thing in Nebraska was
different, however. Most people
believed statehouse republicans
would go back in and they did.
But the margin of victory was
smaller in four out of six cases
than in 1954.
Likewise, the democratic vote
was up. and barring a final, un
expected decision, Lawrence
Brock, Wakefield democrat, got
elected to congress in the third
district. The three other repub
lican congressman swept back
into office.
This «how» only, it it thought,
that the democrats had a good
candidate in the third diatrict,
and not as popular ones in the
others.
Noteworthy democratic vote
getters were Frank Sorrell, run
ning for governor, and Frank
Morrison, who sought the lieu
tenant-governor’s chair.
On the republican side, secre
tary of State Frank Marsh again
led the ticket, running second
only to Mr. Eisenhower. And Ray
C. Johnson, auditor, got his usual
large vote.

Legislative Council
Several important recommen
dations were made this week by
the legislative council, research
group tor tne legislature.
The committee on the institu
tional building fund tax recom
mended this levy be continued
bovond its 1957 expiration date.
But, it said the levy should be
cut from $1.1 for each $1,000
worth of property, to 75 cents.
However, the committee said
the 10-year period should be re
tained to permit realistic, long
range planning of institution
physical plants.
And. it said, construction re
quirements at the statehousc,
possibility of a new state office
building, and the Milford Trade
School should receive some of the
levy money.
On county government, a com
mittee recommended that the
state auditor notify the board and
attorney of a county in which he
discovers any irregularity.
If this is not taken care of
within 30 days, the attorney
general then should bring ac
tion against the offending of
ficial and the county attorney.
The committee said it did not
feel that answers to the county
government problems lie in re
vising functions of the county
board, combining certain existing
offices or in bringing about a
general reorganization of county
governmental machinery.
And, another recommendation
was that mileage payments of
all county officials be set at sev
en cents per mile. They now
range from five to 10 cents.
Further study should be given,
the committee said to the follow
ing problems:
Whether county officials, when
incapacitated because of physical
or mental illness, should remain j
sn office until the end of theii
terms, drawing a salary.
Whether it is necessary to have
a separate office of register of
deeds for each county and if this
could not be combined with the
office of county judge, especially
in thinly populated counties. .
The reports were taken up this
week at the council’s regular bi
ennial meeting

AK-SAR-BEN...
FOUNDED FOR PUBLIC SERVICE—
NOT FOR PROFIT
.A.k-Sar-Ben was founded to serve the people of tha
Midwest This non-profit corporation belongs to
all the people of this great area.
The Ak-Sar-Ben Board of Governors Is composed
of 12 civic and community leaders. They manage
Ak-Sar-Ben*s affairs without one cent of compen
; sation. They are assisted by the 12 members of the
Ak-Sar-Ben Council, who likewise serve without
pay. Each of them gives much of his own time and
money to Ak-Sar-Ben’s program of public servioe.
Ak-Sar-Ben's purpose is to build a better Midweek
This purpose is achieved by contributing liberally
to agricultural, educational and charitable
programs in this area.
Each year, some of Ak-Sar-Ben’s income is used
to maintain and improve its physical plant. It
is well that funds are invested in this way because
the activities at Ak-Sar-Ben Field . . . largely
thoroughbred racing ... provide the revenues
that permit Ak-Sar-Ben to contribute a quarter of
a million dollars per year to building a better
Nebraska and a greater Midwest.
