First, the Post-War Federal ' Aid Highway Act of 1944 makes $25,980,000 available to Nebraska for matching. Second, the Good Roads Constitu tjonal Amendment provides that the revenue from the license fee# and the now permanent 5-cent gas tax shall be used only for building anJ maintaining highways. Only by this procedure will Nebraska have the $25,980,000 needed by the state to match the $25,980,000 in federal aid funds and thus have $51,000,000 to spend for Jobs for GI Joe In building Nebraska’s highways and streets in the first three post-war years. A National Post-War Employment Program The Congress of the United States, recognizing that high way construction gives the highest possible ratio of employ ment for each dollar spent, will give priority after the cur rent recess to the passage of the Post-War Federal Aid Highway Act of 1944. This bill, already assured of prac tically unanimous approval, appropriates $500,000,000 each year for three years for post-war highway construc tion. Consider the impact on post-war employment, when t>i> Public Roads Administration states that 90 cents of , every dollar spent for highways goes to labor. Of this $500,000,000 annual appropriation by Congress, the bill specifically allots to Nebraska $8,660,000 per year, or $25,980,000 for the three years. Nebraska has to match this money on a 50-50 basis to obtain it. If Nebraska does match it, the State has over $51,000,000 to spend for high way construction for the first three post-war years. Amendment Does the Job That is where the Good Roads Constitutional Amend ment comes in. Under present revenues, Nebraska cannot carry out such a matching program. But if all of the revenue from the now permanent 5-cent gas tax, plus the motor vehicle registration and license fees, were applied to this task, the job can be done. That is just what the Amendment provides—that these revenues, which were originally levied to build roads, shall be used exclusively for that purpose. The motorist would put up the entire $51,000,000. One half through the registration and license fees and the 5-cent gas tax paid to the state. The other half, which is put up by the Federal government to be matched by Nebraska, is paid by the motor vehicle owner, too. The lV2-cent gas tax, the $5 Use tax, and the Federal Excise taxes, levied on everything the motor vehicle owner buys, provides the Federal government with far more money than has ever been appropriated for Federal Aid in building highways. Proposal Is Very Simple So, the 400,000 motor vehicle owners are willing to pay for this big $51,000,000 program all by themselves. In addition, they offer to join hands with the other million Nebraskans—to provide in any way the legislature decides —the $2,300,000 needed annually for Assistance, which is now paid by one cent of the gas tax. Isn’t that a fair proposition that every Nebraskan can endorse? Nebraska must make provision for both post-war em ployment and Assistance. By voting YES on this Amend ment you can solve the big $51,000,000 problem. We are sure that every red-blooded Nebraskan is willing to pay his share of Assistance to make this $51,000,000 post-war employment fund available. A "Must" Program for Nebraska We are confident that you will decide that this is a "must” program for Nebraska. No waste, no inefficiency, no new bureaus, no boondoggling, but a maximum of real jobs at good wages in every town, city, and county in Nebraska. The Cost Is Low The cost is known. That cost is—1,400,000 Nebraskans joining together on a basis fair to everybody, must pay $2,300,000 per year to provide for Assistance. For that small expenditure Nebraska gets a $51,000,000 value— first, $51,000,'000 in highways and streets, and, second, $51,000,000 in JOBS for GI JOE. If that makes good common sense to you, vote YES, enthusiastically, for the Good Roads Constitutional Amend ment and $51,000,000 in JOBS for GI JOE. Nebraska’s homecoming war heroes are worthy of a job. Your vote can give it to them. Question- What WonM an Increase of ONE MILL Cost in Dollars and Cents? Answer— $2 per Year for the AYERASE HOME OWNER. From World-Herald, October 15. 1944 The Nebraska Real Estate Association: "This burden would probably have to be shifted to real estate and personal property, necessitating about one mill increase in the general fund levy of the state.” Since our opponents have suggested a one-mill levy on property as one of the possibilities, we knew that the taxpayer would like to know what a one-mill levy would cost in dollars and cents. Please bear in mind that we are not advocating a one-mill levy} our opponents are. A one-mill increase in the state property levy would, as our opponents point out, raise $2,300,000 for Assistance. A one-mill levy means $1 for each $1,000 of tax valuation. Your tax receipt will show the tax valuation set on your property for tax purposes. The average home is valued at $2,000. Thus, the average home owner would pay $2 per year for an increase of one mill to pay his share of the $2,300,000 for Assistance. A home with a tax valuation of $4,000 would mean a payment of $4. So the one-mill levy would cost Mr. and Mrs. Average Property Owner less than you gave to the Community Chest. Maybe it is a twinge of conscience that causes the Taxpayers Association to state, "A one-mill levy seems to be the most favored method of replacement.” Could be, because ... Our opponents know that property taxes levied by the State of Nebraska were reduced from $10,930,607 in 1921 to $4,881,437 in 1942, a saving of $6,049,170 in 21 years, while the expense of the state government more than doubled. Our opponents realize that property could thus pay the $2,300,000 for Assistance and still pay $3,749,170 less than it did 23 years ago in 1921. Our opponents realize, too, that if a one-mill levy for Assistance is made, there would then be NO SALES TAX and NO INCOME TAX. Dn a valuation of $2,042,442,436, property pays to the state a tax of $4,881,437, or at the rate of three-tenths of one per cent. On a valuation of $61,879,557, the motor vehicle owners pay to the state $14,493,023, or at the rate of 23 per cent. This is 76 times the rate paid by property. Motor vehicle owners paid over $20,000,000 tor Assistance in the past nine years, while property paid nothing. Motor vehicle owners paid for the entire highway system of the state, while property paid nothing. Property gained in value tremendously by every highway that was built. Property values went u^ on every piece of property on a highway—and that is 18,238 milea of property. Property and business built thousands of businesses along the highway system, all made possible by the motor vehicle owners. $51,000,000 in highways and streets will further increase property values, create new opportunities and stimulate business. You are going to have to provide jobs for GI Joe anyhow, it the Amendment is defeated. This, no doubt, will re •luire a new set-up and more bureaus. And from where will the money come? Our proposal involves no waste, no boondoggling. The exact cost is known. You wiQ get a $51,000,000 value. Our opponents realize that in paying for Assistance with a one-mill levy, every person owning any property of any kind, and every business pays its just share. Thus, the burden is easy on everyone . . . just $1 for each $1,000 of tax valuation. Our opponents know that the motor vehicle owners ask no reduction in their own taxes. They merely ask that the revenue from motor vehicle and gas taxes be used ia the first three post-war years to buy this $51,000,000 in highways and $51,000,000 in JOBS FOR GI JOE. And Nebraska’s GI Joes deserve a job. feSSfi-LS? 54 in some iorm of wfcich the d-id« - *• 1. To Pay Your Share o! Assistance? 2. To Provide $51,00^050 in Jobs for GI Joes?

Had you given in to them, you would still have lost heir interest. These boys are only interested in a big time now But you’ll notice when they choose a life-time companion, it will be a girl who has retained her morals and self -respect C.T—I find your column very in teresting. I have been going with a boy 5 years. We love each other very much- He is worried about what people are saying about us not marrying. He isn’t ready to marry yet and neither am I. We don’t have anything to start off with. Should he leave me and get a job somewhere else or stay here and work? He hat es to look people in the face, for they are always askng him when he is going to get married. What should we do? Ans: People can't live on love a lone but neither should they wait until ‘hey have accumulated a fort une 10 marry. If both of you have good jobs and no dependents, there is no reason why you should not proceed with your wedding plans . . that is, if you are both sure of your feelings for each.

He has a wile and daughter but they were separated before I met him. She I left town. He promised he would marry me,. but every year he says he doesn't have enough money to af ford : a divorce. It is getting to the place! where he stays out nights and nags I and gambles. Should I stay here or 1 leave ?. Ans: This man is growing weary | of his little love nest as is usually the case- You made your mistake when you did not insist on his div orce and marriage before you started living with him. Since he has no in testions of making your union more secure, the osly thing for you to do is to leave, get a job and become self supporting. NEGRO CASUALTIES REPORT ED l.N GREAT OHIO F/RE Cleveland, Ohio, (PPNS) A con flagration that swept through twenty city blocks in the white section of this city a few weeks ago, left in smolderiny ruins a toll of 94 dead, 175 injured, and 150 yet to be ac counted for. Declared to be the worst fire in the city’s histor.y flam es are still unchecked near the East Ohio Gas Company, where the ex plosion of a liquid storage tank pre cipitated the great holocaust that has left a city in mourning. To date one Negro, unidentified, has been officially reported as dead, ten others are lying in the city hos pital suffering with first and second degree burns and lacerations, ana more than fifteen are reported miss ing. It s feared that even a greateri' number wll be added to the list of casual'ies after a search has been made of the piles of debris and char red bricks that now remains of what once was a neighborhood of beautiful homes. Negro casualties are mostly those who were employed by the Gas Company. The area effected by the devastat ing blaze has been roped off as re stricted territory and is under guard of the all-Negro First Battalion of the Ohio State Guard, which was dispatched to the scene eight hours after the explosion.
