(leftI is holding his 24-pounder and Jerry Cald Carpenter Committee Presses LINCOLN It is increasingly apparent that the Carpenter tax committee is not going to let any grass grow under its feet between now and 1959 when the next legis lature convenes The committe, with Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff as chair man, was authorized by the 1957 legislature to investgate violations of exisiting tax laws and recom mend corrective legislation. Since its inception, the com i mittee has weathered the prob I lem of internal strife and lack of | operating funds, and is plunging ' ahead with systematic county-by county investigations. Saunders county has been check ed. Hall is now being investigated. More will follow, including Doug las and Lancaster, Scottsbluff, Box Butte, Kimball and Chey enne. Sen. Cai^enter, a fiery senator by record and man by nature, has already gotten into fields where most politicians fear to tread. He summoned representatives of big corporations, with major offices outside the state but who operate businesses within Ne braska, to explain their records on tax assessments. If any refuse to come voluntar ily, Carpenter said, subpoenas will be issued. So far, the committee has dis covered that the big corporations keep accounting offices outside of Nebraska and therefore pav no intangible tax on cash and credit accounts. • • • Ignore March 1— The firms do not list March 1 ,for tax purposes, goods in ware houses as of that date, claiming a new law passed by the legis lature requiring this does not apply to them. Carpenter said some firms have been getting special tax advan tages in that a state law allows the groups to assess themselves. Then there has been the prob lem of county assessors discussed. Carpenter, who for all practical purposes, is the committee be cause of the time he is spending on the investigation, said the state tax commissioner should be giver more authority regarding assess ors. The legislature should also give the commissioner more funds perhaps as much as a half million dollars. This money, reasons Carpenter would permit the commissioner tc check the work of local assessors in every countv. In addition, people should back up their assessors when they are faced with a showdown with big tax paying individuals or organ izations, Carpenter said. This is not now the case univer sally. and as a result, the Scotts bluff senator said, the home own er is getting “murdered" because he is the only property owner paying at 100 percent of actual value. • • • Urges Repeal— Big out of state firms should be required by law to keep rec ords locally, for tax purposes, Carpenter commented. He ad ded that a law giving oil com panies special tax rights should be repealed. Observers said the zeal and vigor of the investigation is go ing to produce some strong leg islation for the 1959 legislature to consider, thus resulting in a bet ter equalization of the tax load.. Carpenter himself has promis ed, funds or no funds, whatever looms in the way of an obstacle will be met and ovecome because he feels tax cheating has "been feeding upon itself” for long enough and now is the time to try to remedy the situation. He has also gone as far as to ask some firms to produce cop ies of their federal income tax returns, so they can be compar ed with the amount of property turned in to Nebraska for state tax purposes. The returns can be obtained legally and are going to be used more often by state officials. * * * Road Safety— One of the big, but somewhat intangibl.*, features of the pro posed interstate highway across Nebraska will be the safety ad vantages. Nation-wide, a safety official estimate between 3,500 and 4,000 lives will be saved annually be cause of safety features of the new four-lane superhighway. M. R. Darlington, jr., Washing ton, managing dirctor of the In ter-industry highway safety com mittee, said safety features on the route will be the same as j those which reduced fatal acci dents on toll roads. There will be no cross traffic | at the same level. Vehicles can , enter and leave the road only at certain, limited points and a wide strip of land will separate the two opposing lanes of traffic. • * * Power IJne— The state railway commission has indicated it is probably go ing to give the green light to two groups to build a 230 kilovolt line from Ft. Randall, S. D. Applications for such a per mit have been received from the Nebraska Electric Generation and Transmission Co-operative of West Point, and the Consumers Public Power District of Colum bus. The G&T application was tak en under advisement last week. The Consumers request was heard this week. Before the case went before the railway commission the two groups agreed not to oppose each other’s application. Legally, the commission can only approve the requests as to safety and whether they would interfere with existing facilities. It can not determine which of the two groups should build the line. Bringing power down from the South Dakota dam to meet high summer demands in Nebraska has been the source of contro versy, much of it political, for a long time. But, it appears the federal government will have to decide which can carry the pow er. A group of officials represent ing the G&T plans to go on to Washington soon to try to get a j commitment from the bureau of! | reclamation on acquiring power from Ft. Randall. • * • Washington Trip — Gov. Victor Anderson's trip to Washington last week for a state federal meeting on federal grant in-aid programs was made in a Nebraska national guard plane. Several advisors of the governor accompanied him. His office said the plane was on a military mis sion and was not flown to Washington specifically for the governor. Normally, the 047 makes the trip on military business about every six weeks, the governor’s office said. Anderson is a member of a committee which has been studying, with federal officials, the possibility of transferring to the states, several federal aid programs, along with funds to run them locally. It was felt this would cut the overhead on the programs and save taxpayers’ money. Riverside News Mrs. Anna Miller spent Sun day afternoon at Johnny Miller’s.
