CAPITOL NEWS
State Board
In Limelight
During July
lty Melvin Paul
State house Correspondent
The Nebraska Press Association
LINCOLN Every July a state
government board comes into the
limelight from relative obscurity
the remainder of the year. It is
the State Board of Equalization
and Assessment, composed by
law of the governor, secretary i*f
state, auditor, treasurer and the
tax commissioner.
During July, the board meets to
equalize the assessment of pro
perty in the counties preparatory
to fixing the state property tax
levy. The board has great powers.
It fixes the assessed valuation of
railroads for the purposes of
taxation and the franchise value
of public service corporations. A
franchise is the right to do busi
ness.
It also equalizes the assess
ment of property in the counties
and has the power to raise or
lower the taxable worth of any
county, or a class of property in
a county, such as town lots and
improvements.
The board determines the
amount of all taxes required for
state purposes and the rate of
taxation upon all property in the
state necessary to raise the
money to operate state govern
ment.
This is done before August 2 of
each year. The current state levy
is $8.45 for every $1,000 assessed
value of property owned in Ne
braska.
That means if a Nebraskan had
a house whose assessed value is
$2,000, he would pay $16.90 to the
state on it, in addition to local
taxes.
Actual work on how much
money is needed and the prob
able levy required to raise it is
done in the tax commissioner's
office, then presented to the board
for discussion and action.
School Petition
A proposal to abolish the State
Board of Education will be on
the November ballot It calls for
approval of a constitutional
amendment abolishing the elected
board and provides for election
of the State Commissioner of
Education.
Now, the board appoints the
commissioner and fixes his
salary'.
A petition drive by the Nebras
ka School Improvement Associa
tion got the necessary 42,107
valid names of voters on petitions
asking that all voters be given the
opportunity to ballot on the pro
posal at the November election
Before 1053, the head of the
education department was eject
ed on a non-political ticket A
constitutional amendment approv
ed by voters authorized estab
lishing the elected board.
A similar campaign by the as
sociation failed in 10,>8 and a bill
introduced in the Legislature in
1957 was defeated. The Associa
tion has said it feels the board
has too much power and author
ity which should bo kept by the
Legislature.
The group anti the board and
Commissioner F. B, Decker have
been at odds many times over
policies but Asaxnatkm spikes
men say there were no personal!
ties involved in its campaign to
oust the board in favor of an
elected superintendent.
The Association feels that the
people would have a more dir
ect say on school matters if they
could vote on the commissioner,
rather than the individual com
missioners.
Safety Patrol
Members of Nebraska's Safety
Patrol for the past five years have
bigger paychecks. Col. C. J. San
ders, patrol chief, said raises av
eraging $20 per month will lie

first five years with the patrol.
The pay scale for the first time
remains the same. Patrolmen put
in 6 i-heux weeks, have no Sat
urdays, Sundays or holidays off

ertime. Each trooper averaged 141
hours of unpaid (overtime last
year, Sanders said.
