Roads have been a trouble spot for many years and for many gov ernors In the recent election, wage rates on them, set by the state highway department, strongly ag itated Nebraska unions who went all out to defeat Gov. Victor An derson. Now a new item has been in jected into the controversy the matter of the sufficiency system. State Engineer L. N. Ress said the law requires that the system— under which roads are rated by engineering standards to deter mine construction priority — lie used only when "practical This could pave the way for the "s|»ils" system in future adminis trations, the engineer said. He added there has been considerable apprehension about this through out the state. lilt* suite hu\ ia»or> uiKiiway commission reaffirmed its policy | of improving roads through use of1 ■lie system. State Sen. Terry' Can>enter of Scottsbluff made a comment on the rating method which drew fire of State Senator-elect John Coop er of Humboldt. Cooper charged Carpenter has i said said the present system of building roads is a lot of "bunk." The truth is. Cooper continued, that com potent men have spent a great deal of time and effort orig inating the program. He said Gov. Victor Anderson has follow ed the system religiously. The role State Engineer Ress will play in the democratic ad ministration is one for speculation. He has irked unions, and unions helped elect Ralph Brooks gover nor. A multi-million dollar road pro gram of considerable magnitude is underway, actually, and on the drawing boards. It will take a competent person to pick up the threads if Ress is replaced. The other alternative is to soothe the ire of unions through a change in attitude by Ress and thus keep him as engineer. That is one of the many prob lems that will face Brooks if and when he is sworn into office. Official returns of the election, which Brooks claimed as a result of unofficial counting, will not be known until December 1. * * * Ittttt Legislature— Many veteran observers predict a hot session of the 1959 legisla ture. It is faced with many problems, the most important of which con cerns taxes. That matter boils down to wheth er lawmakers want to keep or scrap the state property tax sys tems. If they decide to retain the property tax the problem will be to pass laws that can be enforced. State Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff said he intends to work hard toward that end and if the leg islature doesn’t pass laws to his liking and if the governor, who ever he may be, does not aid in the situation, Carpenter will run for governor in 1960. He made the announcement at the biennial meeting of the legis lative council. Carpenter said the statement __ I As in days gone by . .. "( r the hills and through the woods” .. The pleasure of homecoming on Thanksgiving... the pudding, pumpkin pie, turkey and all the trimmings.,, the spirit is still the same at Grandmother’s. But what a contrast in the kitchen! Grandmother joins in all the family festivity because her time-saving, work-saving elect r,.- appliances have freed her from yesteryear’s drudgery. Modern, automatic electric appliances plus low-cost electric power means happier Thanksgivings ... better living the year around. CONSUMERS E Nebraska's Self-Supporting, Efficiently-Managed Source of Dependable, Low-Cost Electricity was not a ’ threat” merely a truth ful recitation of his political in tentions The council, composed of all sen ators who work as committees studying state problems lie tween sessions, got a report from one of its committees making no recom mendations on a sales or income tax. * • • County Assessors— Nebraska county^ assessors, at an association meeting in Hast ings, said they don’t want assess ment of property by classes They passed a motion to that effect, which meant the assessors voted in favor of keeping the uni formity clause in the state consti tution The clause requires all property to be assessed uniform ly. Senator Carpenter has said he feels the uniformity section of the constitution should be removed. Action of the county assessors is only an expression of the group's feeling, based on a majority vote, and anv changes in tax laws must I>e made by the legislature. The assessors opposed changing the date of assessment of person al property front March 1 to Jan uary 1, and said the grain tax law should be repealed because it opens the door to taxation of classes, of property separately rather than uniformly. They said if the grain tax is not repealed, the levy should Ite doub led. Under the grain tax statute, grain is .assessed on a per-bushel basis, whereas before it was treat ed like any other property sub jeet to mill levies in the area in which it was located. * * * Legislature Officers— The biennial meeting of the leg islative council is a sounding board for who might get top posi tions in the legislature which fol lows two months later Mentioned as likely choices for speaker are State Sens. Harry Pizer of North Platte and Otto Liebers of Lincoln. Licliers is men tioned also as a likely choice for chairman of the powerful budget committee. He now is chairman of the legislative council. Sen. Hal Bridenbaugh of Dako ta City is mentioned as a possibil ity for council chairman.
