Full Scale Blowup
on Power Scene
Might Goto Hands
of Lawmakers
LINCOLN — State government
circles are buzzing again with a
full scale blow-up on the public
power scene.
The latest hassle raises the I
possibility that the compler and j
' poUtically-explosive subject could |
wind up in the legislature next i
j year.
The lawmakers traditionally J
hav > shied away from the power j
issr.i But some observers feel the
problem might be hard to avoid in j
1 the coming session.
Setting off the flare-up was
the continuing question of which
power agency will build a heavy
transmission line from Ft. Ran
dall dam in South Dakota to a
load center in Nebraska.
After all agencies had agreed
to the line being built by the Ne
braska Electric Generation and
Transmission cooperative. This ar
rangement was abruptly objected
to by the Loup River Public Pow
er district.
Also invoked was a proposal by
Loup to make far-reaching chan
ges in the whole power arrange
ment in the state. In a resolution,
Loup proposed to:
1. Withdraw from the Nebras
ka Public Power System,
the state's present generation and
transmission agency. NPPS is a
contractual partnership between
Loup and the Platte Valley Public
Power and Irrigation district.
2. Pursue negotiations to create
a "unified, intergrated electrical
system” in eastern Nebraska.
3. Become strictly a generation
agency, such as the Central Ne
braska Public Power district at
Hastings is now'.
Behind these factors, however
veteran observers saw a more
potent force: a struggle among
the power agencies for domina
tion of the electrical business in
Nebraska.
This was the real reason Loup
reneged on its earlier support for
the G & T cooperative to build
the transmission line, they said.
They also saw this as the prime
force behind Loup’s plan to re
vamp the whole system.
Loup left no doubt tnat it iears
the move of the G & T, made up
of rural power districts, into the
generating and transmittng field
now served by the NPPS.
Its resolution said that superim
posing the G & T on the present
system "would only compound the
exsiting confusion and further
duplicate duties and responsibil-1
ites.’’
Key to the Loup proposal is the
"unified, integrated s y s t e m." j
Loup officials explain this is in- j
tended to take charge of the far
flung transmission system and
generating plants now owned by
the Loup-Platte partnership in the
NPPS.
The big question to be worked
out is who will take over the func
tions now performed by NPPS.
Conceivably this could be any of
the exisiting power agencies or a
new district created for this spec
ial purpose.
Whatever the answer, officials
felt sure it would require some
legislative action. The big prob
lem for the districts now appears
to be agreeing on a new arrange
ment so that a major controversy
can be avoided in the legislature.

Tax Crackdown—
On the ever-boiling Nebraska
tax front, Tax Commissioner
Fred Herrington has made it
plain that anyone caught omitting
stocks and bonds from personal
schedules will be slapped with a
penalty.
Herrington explained, "If I find
that intangible property has been
omitted, I have no choice under
the law but to impose the required
penalty.”
The field of intangible property
—such as stocks, bonds and cash—
is the only area in which the tax
commissioner has clear cut en
forcement authority, Herrington
explained. i
Authority for assessing tangible |
property—such as real estate, busi
ness inventories and personal be
longings—is vested in county asses
sors.
First step in Herrington’s "get-1
tough" policy on intangibles was
a hearing at which seven Adams
county residents explained their
stocks and bonds listings. All con
ceded that some items were omit
ted from their schedules but they
called this "inadvertent.”
A major point brought out at the

hearing was an apparent lack of
understanding on listing of rail
road stock. Several of those ap
pearing said they had been infor
med Union Pacific stock is not
taxed as is a domesticated fore
ign corporation.
Herrington explained that
the law states that railroad stock
is taxable even though the corpora
tion is domesicated.
The tax commissioner indicated
that the Adams county case is just
the beginning of a major effort to
get more complete listing of in
tangible property for tax pur
poses.
The incentive to list all intan
gibles, in the form of a penalty,
could force an errant taxpayer to
hand over 15 or 20 times as much
in tax as he would had he listed all
his stocks and bonds. The penalty
is taxation at the tangible pro
perty rate—62 mills in the Adams
county case—rather than the 4
mill rate regulary applied on in
tangibles.
• • •
Conservation Tools—
Two new organizational aids for
soil and water conservation in Ne
braska have been put to use. Both
result from state legislature pass
ed last year. They are:
—Appointment by Gov. Ander
son at a watershed planning board
for the Big Blue River Valley, the
first such body in the state.
—Formation of the state's first
watershed conservancy districts—
in Thayer and Jefferson Counties
The new agencies are designed
to work with existing local, state
and federal agencies to protect
the state’s soil and water re
sources.
Planning boards are designed to
do extensive flood control and
conservation planning over a lar
ge area, involving several coun
ties. Conservancy districts will
provide the machinery ta apply in
tensive conservation measures on
a small area.
In forming two conservancy
districts, Nebraskans for the first
time, have in effect, agreed to tax
themselves specifically for soil
and water conservation work.
Among the powers of such dis
tricts are levying up to two mills
in taxes, condemning land, hir
ing technical personnel and con
tracting to build dams and other
structures.
