State Capitol News—
State Values Up, Levy Down
LINCOLN — Nebraska govern
ment will take $1 million less
from taxpayers than it did in
1 1955.
Gov. Victor Anderson made that
announcement in reporting the
state property tax levy for 1958 is
$7 97 per each $1,000 assessed
value of property.
That’s a drop of 26 cents per
$1,000 from 1957—the second
year in the four years the gover
nor has been in office that the
state levy for operating govern
ment has declined
Governor Anderson says the
reason is his "hard tack” ap
proach to state budget and "hold
ing the line” on spending.
The chief executive said he has
received good public response
from the levy cut, made by the
state board of equalization of
which he is chairman.
“We're holding the line despite
the fact everything we are buying
nowadays is costing more,” the
governor commented. "We have
to squeeze even more. That’s what
I have advocated since I have
been governor.”
A $58 miliom hike in valuations
is partially responsible for the
lower levy, the governor conced
ed. But he added, mostly it is
economical operation of govern
ment.
The state board of equalization,
besides the governor, is composed
of Secretary of State Frank
Marsh, Auditor Ray Johnson, Tax
Commissioner Fred Herrington
and Treasurer Bertha Hill.
Statehouse political strategists
say the levy cut will be good cam
paign material for the republican
party at the general election this
fall.
New Mansion —
Governor and Mrs. Anderson
are expected to move into the new
mansion sometime in September
The governor said they have
been having difficulty finding a
staff for the brand new home, and
there have had to be some minor
repairs throughout the summer.
Also, there is not much activity
during the hot months. Before the
mansion was being constructed
the governor said he and Mrs.
Anderson did not plan to close
their Havelock home.
The $200,000 building was com
pleted in March, except for min
or changes and opened for public
inspection March 15-16.

State Wheat Commission —
The state wheat commission is
continuing its drive for bigger
markets.
A four-man group from Colo
mbia, South America, was the lat
est foreign delegation to visit the
state to become acquainted with
Great Plains wheat.
Other states also were included
in the tour, one of several set up
to attract foreign markets.
* * *
.Judges Retirement—
It appears the legislature will
be called upon for an appropria
tion to put the judges’ retirement
fund on a sound basis.
There now is $63,690 in the fund j
supported by contributions from
district and supreme court judges
and fees in courts at the district
level.
Director Glenn I. Anderson of
the state retirement systems says
he is having an actuarial study
made to determine how much
money will be required from the
legislature.
The fund now will support about
five judges, he added. Two al
ready have retired.
So far Judge Williams Spikes,
St. Paul, and Frank J. Munday,
Red Cloud, have retired, each re
ceiving a maximum of $433.16 per
month for life.
Munday's retirement date is
August 16. His 10th judicial dis
trict covers Adams, Clay, Frank
lin, Harlan, Kearney, Phelps and
Webster counties.
A successor will be named by
Governor Anderson after a re
commendation from the 10th dis
trict bar association.

Rehabilitation —
Twenty-three percent of the
2.225 disabled persons served last
year by the state education’s de
partment rehabilitation division
were suitably employed and their
cases closed.
That’s the report of the division
which reported 530 cases closed.
In addition. 116 cases were closed
as not rehabilitated for reasons
! such as death, increased disability
or removal from the state.
Before rehabilitation the aver
age annual wage of the handicap
ped later served by the division
was $240. After rehabilitation it
jumped to $2,380.
Total cost of the program for
the year was $378,350, or $713 per
person.
