No State Tax Reform? Good Indications •»> Melvin Paul State house < orrespondent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN There are Indica tions the Legislature may try to shape a tax reform program after aU. Signs early in the session were that the scions would snub Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff in his efforts to reform tax laws. Reaction against Carpenter is strong in the legislature. Rarely has it shown up in speeches, but in casual conversation it is there. Voting records seemed to indi cate that the fiery lawmaker from Scottsbluff wtjuld get turned down cold via the voting machine on any tyi>e of a try at changing tax laws. But the tide appeared to turn when the senator got one of his key^ hills, to change the property tax assessment date from March 1 to Jan, 1 advanced after a kill motion was beaten down by 28-9 margin. This is an unusual vote spread for the senator in view of senti ments of many of the lawmakers about the motives of Carpenter. Gov. Ralph G. Brooks has gone on record for a group of the Car penter bills, although he has sing led out only a few that he espec ially favors. Brooks says he did not have any tax hills introduced this session as yet because in a field of 61 that were offered he found enough to back his desires for a strong central assessing authority in the Capitol that would result in en forcement of laws. Charles Moon Resignation of Charles Moon as state athletic commissioner ended the Lincoln man's 18 years in the nost. At 66, Moon, who also is admin istrative assistant to Dr. E. A. Rogers, state health director, said he wanted to have more time to devote to his duties with the health department. As commissioner. Moon headed j a small division of government i that licensed boxing and wrestling j matches in the state and collected , a tax on gross receipts. Mixin's resignation is effective March 1. The job is part-time and pays $3,000 per year. Beginning with the late Gov. Dwight Griswold, M<x>n also has been a trouble shooter for the chief executive's office. (iovf-mor's Recount Counting of ballots in the con tested governor's race is not ex pected to run longer than two weeks. That's the guess of the chairman of the recount committee, Sen. A. A- Fenske of Sunol. Lawmakers went on record for a recount 26-16 and directed Fen ske’s committee to make an in terim report to the Legislature after first tabulating Douglas, Lancaster and Scotts Bluff coun- j ties. This was interpreted as a move to permit the Republican party, which is contesting the election of Democratic governor Ralph G. Brooks, an opportunity to drop the , recount if no change is shown in totals of the State Canvassing Board. , . „ Democratic officials generally criticized action of the Legislature, . which although it has its members elected on non-political tickets, is predominantly composed of Re publicans. School Redlxtrieting There are several phrases that appear in legislative bills that are sure-fire to bring out droves of citizens for public hearings. ( One is “school redistricting. At one [Kiblic hearing last week the small lounge in the statehouse was jammed with persons interested in the subject. . The reason they turned out is that a bill designed to correct a situation in Hooker county dealt “Sf the main school redistricting _ _,.nh to hrinir out I 1 I let l » th AnotherS is mourning doves. Whether or not to permit shooting of this bird provides some of the levity of a legislative session and some very strong debate. Included in the arguments are recipes for cooking them and he nesting and feeding habits of h'other standard crowd-drawers are sales taxes of any kind, trad *1 stHmp legislation which pro duces hundreds of housewives, SJ5S or fireworks laws change^ As a rule, one of the nv>st 1m doriant subjects that of changes K" laws',hat affect every Ne braskan produces none of the ^ droves of citizens that can kill a bm often in a committee by sheer j weight of numbers. j One Ihinc th.H 1 l»«ve -«-« ggKS, if are from the district of the solon. News Conferences r.w Ralph G. Brooks plans to hold it least one and possibly two rpeular news conferences weekly. fhe new governor has been ex tremely busy making speeches and seeing' well-wishers and job hunt ers "bat come with the change of a y administration but especial lyif ,he switch also brings a new party into power. 1 Because of his schedule it had been difficult for Statehouse news mi" to get in to see the governor. The weekly conferences were the solution.
