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

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.
