•••Provide $51,000,000 in Jobs on Nebraska's
Hiqhwaus and Streets with NO INCREASE in GAS TAXE5
w w
- It !s the combination of two factor* that make* it pos
iible for Nebraskans to vote YES on $51,000,000 in Jobs
for GI Joe on November 7th. 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.

fooled and forgotten. These boys
who d.'recntinue their friendship with
you lecause you won’t give in to
their selfish desires had no serious
intensions to begin with. Had you
given in to them, you would still have
lost heir interest. These boys are

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. Half of the fun in mar
riage is in working and accumulating
things together

E-L.J.—I am living with a man
and have bees for 6 years. 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.
