Editorial
The Cattlemen's Stiff Opposition
The Nebraska Legislature is hammering out a
feu reform program, but progress has been painful.
Two key bills were passed by the lawmakers—
to change the tax assessment day from March 1 to
Jan. 1, and giving more power to the State Tax
Ommissioner.
Both were the result of the one-man tax violation
fiivestigation carried out between the 1957 and 1959
sessions by Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff.
Cattlemen put up stiff opposition to the assess
ment date bill, and it squeaked through on final
passage by the bare minimum, 22-18.
On first debate, the measure got off to a flying
■tart, was killed, then revived and pushed on to
passage along a stormy trail.
State Tax Commissioner Fred Herrington, saved
the measure from the graveyard lor axed legisla
tion by issuing a public statement. Herrington said
fee hoped the action of the Legislature was not an
indication of sentiment among the people for no
tax laws changes.
The next day senators breathed life into the bill
std attributed the switch to Herrington’s statement.
Another measure, giving Herrington broad auth
ority in enforcement of tax laws, was passed by the
Legislature by a big margin. It empowers the com
missioner to require tax officials "act in absolute
aompliance" with state laws.
It also gives the commissioner authority to adopt
(dies and regulations regarding revenue laws.
Welfare Rolls
There are fewer persons on the financially needy
toils but it's costing the state more for them.
The State Welfare Board noted that in January
itol age cases dropped from 16,501 to 16,162, but
to* cost per case climbed from 666.67 per month
to 969.21.
This January figure continues a trend started
many months aga fewer people but higher pay
ments, most of which are the result ot higher living
A much-amended bingo bill finally got out of
Mw Legislature’s government committee.
There was some criticism of the proposal on
•rands there is no state agency provided for state
saflorcement of provisions of the law. But Sen.
Brain Williams of Broken Bow, committee chair
man, said the attorney general’s office advised the
aaaomittee enforcement should be kept at the local
WreL
Gnat November, Nebraska voters authorized the
i&ViBl&ture to pass a law permitting the playing of
MggD; which previously had been considered gamb
Bgg under the Constitution.
Bingo licenses, under the amended bill, would be
Maned only to the State Fair Board for the annual
slate fair, county fairs or agricultural societies only
tfaring county fairs or expositions, any organization
sacognized by the federal government as non-profit,
and churches.
Licensees must have been in existence for at least
Bar years before applying for the permit, cost of
flNch would be HO per year.
No bingo would be permitted on Sundays or for
afaUdren under 16 years of age. No liquor can be
served in the area In which bingo is played while
ggmes are in progress. Limit per game is 15 cents
pr sard, with a two-card maximum.
The bill authorizes cities and villages to decide
Ml g vote of the people whether the game should be
prohibited.
Air 8ervtce
An airline workhorse, the twin-engine, DC-3, has
same to Nebraska to cover a state-wide local alr
Me network.
Frontier Airlines has begun serving the state on
what will be a wholesale basis, putting Nebraska
sb top of the heap nation-wide in the matter of feeder
«r commuter type airlines.
Service began MMa week to Lincoln, Beatrice, St
Jsseph and Kansas City, and western flights to
Denver via Hastings, Kearney, McCook, Imperial
and Sidney. Other segments of the network in Ne
braska begin in April and July.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Edtor:
Being one of those from Holt County attending
the hearing in Lincoln on February 24 in regard
to Legislative Bill 247.
The Amendment reads in effect that the Com
missioner and the Board of Education request the
power to establish rules and regulations based upon
a program of study, guidance services, health train
ing, library training, the number of teachers, pre
paration of teachers, instructional materials, and
equipment, science facilities and equipment, library
facilities and materials, building and grounds, health
and safety factors, number of pupils, financial sup
port and for the establishment of any newly created
or enlarged school districts.
The first setback was the chairman of the Edu
cation Committee, (because of the large represen
tation—approximately 500—a time limit was set on
the introduction and opposition of the bill to 45 min
utes each. This had not been the procedure of the
education committee hearings up to that time. The
chairman of the committee (from Omaha) feared
the hearing would run into the wee hours of the
morning.
Possibly so, but can a time limit of minutes
be placed upon the discussion of an issue which
would affect the people of Nebraska for years
to come?
The issue: Removing the right of the local peo
ple to make decisions concerning the education of
their children.
It was obvious to many people present that it
was not intended to give opposition to the bill or
the necessary time to answer to the statements of
Dr. Decker and Mr. Brown and the handful (10 or
15) in fttVflT nf tha Kill A ftnr annh ci/in'a AK minntAr
had expired those in favor of the hill were given a
chance for rebutal with no time limit, which gave
them plenty of time to discredit these people.
Many knowing we were getting the short
end, went to speak with the chairman of the
committee tor a fair hearing. Chairman Syas
(from Omaha) would not listen and ordered the
Sargeant at Arms to clear the delegation from
the chambers.
It is my opinion that the people from the less
populated areas being in a minority had better start
taking an active interest in the laws being enacted
in our legislature or suffer the consequences. If
you are opposed to this bill, LB247, I urge you to
write letters to your senator and many of the other
senators and state your oppositions.
Respectfully.

ON A HATFUL OF GAS
—regular, low-cost economy gas! A mere sprinkling of It take!
*Bhe Lark for miles and miles with peak performance, whether you drive
the spirited six or the super-responsive V-8. ^9*" And you drive it so easily*
park it so tidily, turn it so neatly—because it’s a sensible three feet shorter
outside than conventional cars. (But plenty of room inside for six-)
And with all its economy (cuts insurance, repair and maintenance costs)*
it’s so richly, rightly styled, it’s fashion approved by Harper's Bazaar.
And beautifully engineered. This is common sense on wheels, folks—and
about time you tried it. You can—today. Do it!
