Capitol News - Average Motorist Spends $973 Yearly to Operate His Auto LINCOLN—Yearly costs of op erating a car have been calculat ed by the State Highway Depart ment. State Engineer John Hossack says the average motorist spends $973 annually to own and operate an automobile. Of the total, tax es and fees account for 12%. Thus, reasons Hossack, the mo torist spends 9.8 cents per mile to own and operate his car, with contributions to highways of only 1.2 cents per mile. The figures are national aver ages and show the normal driver buys 697 gallons of gasoline per year, contributing about $70 in gas and oil taxes to the cost of building and maintaining high ways, and $15.15 in fees. Taxes on the automobile, not earmarked for the highways, add another $31.11. Hossack says the average state gasoline tax is 5.9 cents per gallon. This compares with seven cents for Nebraska. What happens to the tax dol lars shelled out by drivers for their share of building and main taining the nation’s highways and streets? Hossacks said 60 cents of each dollar goes for new construction, 23 cents for maintenance and re pair and 17 cents is set aside for administration, police services and debt retirement. During a year, the engineer noted, the average motorist will travel 9,969 miles. Of the total, 2,593 miles or 26% will be com muting to and from work. Shop ping, recreational, religious or so cial activities will account for 5,612 miles or 56% and the re maining 1,764 miles or 18% will be for business purposes. Capital Punishment Backers of a bill to abolish capital punishment in Nebraska need an educational campaign. That’s the belief of Sen. Edwin McHugh of Murdock, who intro duced the legislation in tne Le gislature. His bill was killed by a 5-4 vote of the judiciary commit tee. After a two-hour committee hearing, McHugh said he would not try to have the measure de bated on the floor. The senator would have abolish ed the death penalty for all crimes in Nebraska except trea son. Law enforcement officers op posed the bill while ministers were divided on the question. Legislative Districts The warning flag went up on legislative reapportionment chan ces this session when the govern ment committee of the Legisla ture killed two bills on the sub ject. Lawmakers have never agreed an reapportionment of the 43 un icameral districts, to get a more equal population per senator, but some observers had been hope ful senatorial pay boosts would aid the cause this time. Killed were LB 353 which pro posed a Constitutional amend ment increasing the Unicameral maximum number from the cur rent 50 to the 60-75 range, and LB 354, a proposed amendment to require redistricting every 10 years. Two other bills given to the committee would boost the num ber of senators to 50 as permitted under the present Constitution, and give weight to both area and population in redistricting. Four Year Terms The Legislature feels the gov ernor and lieutenant governor should have four-year terms in stead of the present two-year ones. Lawmakers passed 39-1, a bill calling for a vote in 1962 on a Constitutional amendment. Four year terms would start with the ■ BULOVA TRACK MEET SPECIAL $5 off On Any 17-JEWEL WATCH McIntosh jewelry 4«7 E.

Originally, the legislation call ed for the governor and lieute nant governor to run as a team. This idea had the Support of Gov. Frank Morrison. But the lawmak ers struck out the team provi sion, leaving the bill to provide only for four-year terms. Other state officials would continue on two-year terms. The senators also approved a measure earlier that would per mit the lieutenant governor to run for governor during his term as lieutenant governor. This al so requires a Constitutional amendment. Turned down was a proposal to allow other elected state officials to run for governor. Now all wait a full term before filing. Underground Capitol The Legislature’s Government Committee liked the idea of an underground Capitol, to be used in case of national emergency. It sent to the floor a bill author izing spending of $190,000 to build an emergency of government in Lincoln, about a mile north of the statehouse. Money would come from the state’s institution al building fund. Nebraska Crime State senators have gone on re cord for a crime study in Ne braska that will produce recom mendations to combat increased lawlessness. The solons approved a resolu tion by Sen. John Munnelly of Omaha. Munnelly said the re solution was prompted by discus sion of a crime bike in the Oma ha area. Munnelly announced be would propose a study in this field also by a committee of state senators after the Legislature adjourns. The resolution, the Omaha law maker said, would serve notice that the state is interested in tak ing action to retard any crime wave in Nebraska. Homemakers Corner. . . By Catherine Indra Home Extension Agent Spring is no longer just around the corner—calendarwise, at any rate. This being the fact, gardens become an important part of spring planning around the home. As you start to plan, perhaps you wonder if the work is worth the effort. If you are in doubt here are some facts about home gardens. A garden designed to feed a family of five requires a plot about 100 x 150 feet. This is ap proximately one-third of an acre. The value of that garden at 1960 prices was from $284.50 to $410.10. In terms of acres this would range from $753.50 to $1230.30 per acre. This range in value comes through using the highest and low est values from a suggested price list for the products. Well planned food production and preservation can reduce cash expense for food. A well planned garden of adequate size can give enjoyment in good eating through out the year. The farm family probably has the best opportunity for a gar den. Even so, the town back yard or vacant lot garden can supply an important proportion of fresh vegetables. It can furnish a sur plus for storing, canning, freez ing, or drying. Vegetables harvested from one’s own garden at the right time are of superior quality, too. Of course, a garden is work, but what other crop could you plant that is not work? To get the most from the gar den it will take good manage ment. Plant the right variety, the right amount, and the kinds of vegetables the family will eat. Hold the size of the garden to one that can be cared for pro perly. You can have more vege tables from 100 square feet of garden that is given good care. ,.than from several hundred square feet of garden that is neglected. Perhaps you could plant some vegetables in the field for easy cultivating. Plant others near the house to simplify care and make it easy to obtain the vegetables for meal preparation. EC 1274 “Garden Vegetables” will tell you what varieties are recommended for Nebraska. It also indicates those varieties suitable for freezing. The bulle tin will also give you other in formation to help you grow a successful garden. Request it from the County Agents’ office.
