Politicians to Launch Campaigns;
Nebraska Farmers Get Spotlight
^v.uln- Thvrt Will be much
nows copy in coming weeks over
^ plight irf the Nebraska far*
mer It will be voiced in the
presidential campaign and in the
r«e for the U. S. Senate m Ne
braska The U. S, Comm tree De
partment had some figures on this.
*9*t department says there was
an "unusually large drop in farm
income” in the stale last year.
The depart men! said the net
lncutm- per farm in Nebraska
was $3,642 last ymir as compar
ed with $3,164 in 194M. Farmers
gol mure money fur livestock
and livestock products but less
for crops.
Overall, the average Nebraskan
had just about the same income
in 1959 as for the previous 12
months. The actual figures show
about a one percent increase
while the national hike was six
percent. Nebraska ranked 31st
among the 50 states with a per
capitu income of $1,981.
Constitutional Amendments
There will be two proposed
Constitutional amendments on the
November ballot carrying the
same number. Aniendents are list
same number. Amendments are
listi-d by number on the ballot.
There will be nine up for voter
consideration, seven submitted by
the 1959 Legislature, one by peti
tion and one by the recent special
session of the Legislature
Roland Luedtke, legal counsel
for the Si«cretary of State’s of
fice, explains the double num
bering this way: State law says
proposed amendments shall be
numbered on the ballot in the
sequence in which the secretary
of state receives them.
The law applies to each separ
ate session of the Legislature. So,
carrying the number one will be
each at the following two amend
monts: Authorizing the Legislature
to provide for the continuity of
government in the event of en
emy attack Permitting cities and
counties to issue rt venue bends
to buy or build sites to attract
industry.
Appearing cm a separate ballot
■will be a petition proposal to
make the state1 education com
missioner an elected rather than
an appointed official.
Irrigation Wells
There still are plenty of Irri
gation wells being drilled in Ne
braska. But the pace is slower
than that prompted by the drought
of 1955-56, according to statistics
in the State Water Resources Di
vision.
It is expected that in the next
year there will be more than two
million acre's of land in the state
irrigated by wells. Seven years
ago, only a half million acres
were being irrigated by water
from we'ls.
Drilling hit a peak in 1956 when
4,OX) new wi lls were put down.
Dan Janes, head of the division,
says there now are 23,273 wells
registered with the state. Land

Water specialist estimate Ne
braska's underground wider re
serves total about 10 years of to
tal rainfall To store the supply
above ground would require a tank
as large as the entire state and
20 feet deep
, There currently is little regula
tion over drilling of weHs by the
state except that they must be
reg.stered and properly spaced.
Driving licenses
The State Motor Vehicles Divi
sion is considering pushing in the
Legislature a proposal to require
a picture of the holder of a driv
ing license be affixed to the per
mit.
Alvin Scissors, department di
rector, said such a photograph
would leave no doubt in the mind
of any law enforcement officer
that the person was authorized
to have the license.
Scissors also has proposed that
the licenses be issued from the
Capitol, instead cf by county trea
surers. This is sure to kick off
a storm if pursued, observers
noted, especially by those who fa
vor local retention of as many
government services as possible.
Scissors said there is high in
terest in the photograph proposal
by liquor dealers, bankers, mer
chants and insurance companies
who feel such a license would
serve as an “excellent means of
identification.”
Interstate Highway
The Interstate Hignway bridges
across the Platte River in Cass
and Sarpy counties are expected
to be completed by January 1.
Flooding in early June caused
some delay in construction of the
bridges and only bad weather
could make the project miss the
December 31 deadline, the high
way department says.
Completion of the bridges will
permit motorists to travel from
Lincoln to Omaha on the super
highway, the department said.
