Capitol News - By Melvin Paul SlaU-house Corres|H>nrient ltie Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN—The process of reor ganizing state government is a continuous one. It results from de mands of the people for services, new federal programs occasion ally, and sometimes from new concepts and ways of handling problems. Nebraska is no exception. There usually is at least one or two groups engaged in surveying how to better do a government func tion. One of the late studies was made of the State Health De partment. Recommended by a planning committee of the State Board of Health which supervises the department, was division of the department into four sections. This is designed to relieve some of the work load from the State Health Director who now must devote too much tune to detail, the report said. Recommended was a deputy director of health, a director of preventive health and one of lo cal health administration in ad dition to the department director. The report said the lack of per sonnel and funds are the most MONEY At50/° Interest 1 am nack in my office and can loan money at 5% interest on land and City Property. See or write to R. H. PARKER O'NelU, Nebr. serious deficiencies of the depart ment. A separate study of the depart ment was made by the U. S. Public Service. Although the Health Board adopted recommen dations of its planning group the recommendations are only pro posals for the present time. Nebraska’s Future l'he Nebraska Resources divi sion is anxious to get going on a substantially stepped up pro gram to develop the natural as sets of the Cornhusker state. Says the division: ‘‘Time is on Nebraska’s side—but the next 10 to 20 years could see a tragic decline in our population that could moan oblivion for many communities.” Adds the division which is de signed to attract industry to Ne braska: “We do not feel we can afford to wait”. The division, operating under David Osterhout, proposes contin uing work on the stabilization of agriculture, thus halting the downward trend of agricultural employment that has been go ing on for 50 years. It also says there should be a concerted effort to expand exis ting industry and acquire and develop new industry. And, it said, there should be promotion of the physical and social aspects of Nebraska com munities, thus creating better living for Nebraskans and making the communities more attractive to new enterprises. The division said it does not believe in "irresponsible promo tional schemes as a lure to new industry.” But, it adds, neither should the state close its eyes to change. Concludes the division: Nebras ka needs industrial expansion to balance its economy and provide employment for its people who otherwise will continue to leave for greener pastures. State Game Commission Direc tor Mel Steen feels a mill levy of 35 cents on each $1,000 worth of property would be an invest ment by Nebraskans in their own social and economic wel fare. This levy, Steen says, would aid outdoor recreation and the welfare of the entire state. The additional tax cost would be about 50 cents per person per year. This investment, Steen says, will aid in developing an out door recreation and tourist trade in Nebraska that could be made to gross a half billion dollars a year by 1975. Highway I'ersonnei The highway department has adopted a new policy. It is or derly replacement of key person nel as they near retirement age. This was announced by act ing State Engineer John Hos sack. Hussack said the fact that an engineer has readied retirement age “is no indication that his services are no longer required.” He said men who have highly re sponsible positions for many years have expierence and judgement that inspire and encourage young er engineers. The acting engineer said the long time employes deserve to be relieved of some of the tre mendous burdens of responsibility that go with a key post and be allowed to utilize some of their special talents for the depart ment and the state. Voter Registration A majority of county clerks feel there should be no state law requiring all voters to regis ter. The survey was conducted by a committee of state senators studying the possibility of chan ges in election laws. It is not nt'cessary to require registration in rural areas, the bulk of the clerks said, because election boards and officials are familiar with the people and fra udlent voting would be difficult. They also said registration would place an added burden on the voters and many would not do so, cutting down the number of those who vote. There also would be an increase in the cost of election administra tion, the survey said. Those who favored registration said it would ease the problem of determining residence of vot ers where registration is not now required, would cut down waste in election supplies and aid in cementing party lines, loyalty and responsibility.
