State Capitol News— New Legislative Year Nears LINCOLN The statehouse is geared for a surge of activities that will last through June of next year, Legislative council committees are holding final hearings on sub jects studied since members sat as state senators in the 1957 ses sion A meeting of the entire council, composed of all 43 state senators, is slated for November IX-20 At the time, committees will submit their reports and the group go on record on problems that may be handled by the 1959 unicameral. In addition, political talk is high in the capital. With the November 4 election fast drawing near, statehfjuse officials and em ployees alike are keeping a weather eye on the situation. Budget hearings to get ready for the governor’s recommenda tions to the 1959 legislature will get underway in November or December. These will reveal spending plans of state agencies. Then, on January 6, the legis lature will convene in what could lie the longest and most difficult session in history. If lawmakers hold true to form, they will get home again no earlier than June. An additional round of activi ties pops up on weekends when there are home football games at the University of Nebraska. Many committees and hoards hold meetings in Lincoln, staying over for the gridiron contest. • • * Labor Relations— Both labor and management representatives have told a legis lative council committee they would like to see a state labor re lations act in Nebraska. This could well signal the in troduction of such a bill in the next legislature, either with or without the committee’s recom mendation which first must go to the entire council before going on to the next group of law makers. The council either will accept, reject or amend such a report. There was disagreement be Paul Shierk INSURANCE AGENCY O'NEILL, NEBK. Insurance of All Kinds tween the labor and management l people on whether a court or board should be used to adminis I ter such an act, with labor land ing out for the board. The committee primarily was set up to study the problem of I secondary boycotts in Nebraska. • • • Ground Water— The legislative council will get a recommendation for establish ment of locally controlled ground water districts. Such districts would be set up in areas which could conceivably develop a shortage of under ground water in the future. A proposal calling for 45 dis tricts wras adopted by the ground water committee of Sen. Don Thompson of McCook. In size they range from 537 to 6,013 square miles, with an average of 1.700. The idea includes provisions for corrective and conservation mea sures in areas that might find themselves short of underground water. Before the 1957 session, the committee came up with recom mendations later put into law re quiring spacing and registration of irrigation wells. O’Neill’s State Sen. Frank Nel son was up at 3 a m. one morning last week to drive to Lincoln and arrive in time for the ground wa ter discussions. • • • • Freight Rates— All railroads operating in Neb raska have been given an aver age of 2.3 percent hike in rates for hauling freight within the state. Authority was given by the state railway commission, to conform intrastate rates with those between states. Livestock increases went up three percent, and milk, cream and related products, two percent. • * • Traffic Volumes— There has been no increase in traffic on rural Nebraska roads for the first eight months of this year, as compared with the same time in 1957. That’s the report of the state highway department, which also said August travel was up one per cent over July but down one per cent over July but down one per cent from August, 1957 . Traffic is reported by the de partment at 15 checkpoints, through the use of automatic counting machines. _ O’NEILL TRANSFER JOHN J. TURNER, Prop.
