THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE SIX Thursday, February 24, 1949 r CAPITOL NEWS 'Compiled by Neb. Press Ass'n.t Lincoln, Neb. Lines were be ing drawn in the legislature this week for what may be one of the most bitter controversies of the 1949 session: proposed re peal of Nebraska's pre-primary law. The bill, signed by 17 sena tors, already has produced more name-calling than any before the unicameral. Under the law, political par ties hold conventions when del egates endorse their first and second choices among the can didates for each office. The names of these favored two are listed in that order on the pri mary election ballot, while those of other candidates 'are rotated. The government committee held public hearing on the re peal bill, and heard opponents from both parties label the pres- Arthritis Pain Tot quick, delightfully comforting help for aches and pain of Rheumatism, Arthritis, Neuritis.

That night, however, political party leaders met with legisla tors and asked that the law be amended instead of repealed. Pre-primary convention dele gates would endorse four rath er than two candidates, and all names would be rotated. Filings would be required before the convention, and delegates to the state convention named by county conventions rather than at the primary election two years previous. Senator W. J. Williams, Ra venna, one of the principal in troducers of the repeal, accept ed the amendment. He told the legislature he would offer them only if the lawmakers rejected repeal. TPripnrlc nf thp amendments contended it was unfair to de- ny them nm neanng on me floor of the legislature. They charged repeal of the pre-primary law would sound the death knell of the polictical party system. Opponents answered the ar guments. Senator W. H a 1 s e y Bohlke. Hastings. suggested, "the boys in that smoke-filled hotel room apparently helped these senators out in time of need. They never did a darn thing for me, I never expect them to, and they don't even have anything I want." Sen. Arthur Carmody, Tren ton, said the number of primary election voters dropped from j about 342,000 in 1940, before the pre-primay law was in effect, to 278.000 last year, when pub lic interest was at a high pitch, due to the presidential prefer ential election. He said every formal opposi tion voiced at his committee's hearing on the repeal came from "a wheel horse of some size" in both political parties, adding, "the primary is the politicians' election, and that's why they want to control it." Sen. William Metzger, Cedar Creek, suggested the bill was not properly handled since a majority of the committee members who heard it were co signers of the repeal. But he turned down Carmody 's invi tation to present charges of un fair hearing. Williams is expected to pre sent the hotly contested amend ments, Feb. 23.

Don Hanna, Valentine, was the most outspoken of the opposition. He said the fieldmen smack of federal "snopers." Chairman John Callan of the budget committee said the three additional men the tax com missioner wants to hire would cost the state about $24,000. On the basis of present valuations, this investment would return about $198,000 to the state, ac cording to Sen. William Metz ger, Cedar Creek. Tone J. Jamla -A. A.

Dele gates also approved a resolu tion asking Gov. Val Peterson to appoint a citizens committee to study reclamation plans for the state. The committee would analyze the Reclamation Bureau's de velopment plan for the Lower Platte basin, and its effect on existing power and irrigation agencies. Possibilities of inte grating use of stream and ground water would be investi gated, and the committee would recommend changes it believes necessary in present law. The Reclamation Association convention defeated a proposed resolution which would have put the group on record as fav oring a policy of limiting irri gation water from government financed projects for use on family-sized farms. Proponents argued this did not make the Association subscribe to the Reclamation Bureau's defini tion of a family-sized farm as 160 acres, but merely opposed using federal tax money to irri gate large corporate holdings I or land.

Ashland Sale Barn, Clerk Winning the Snow Battle Was a Huge Undertaking This winter will long bo re membered for ils Big Snow. Thousands of town?, farms and ranches were isolated. Drifts were so deep and firm that normal snow-removal methods were futile. The battle was won when methods, used successfully in one location, were ap plied to other communities. Similarly, the U. S. Brew ers Foundation aids tavern owners by informing them of methods used success fully elsewhere. A continuing educational program keeps all tavern owners informed of these better procedures and pracr tiees. As a result, Nebraska beer retailers are good citizens and good business-men. It is their desire to hold high the best standards of the industry. It is their aim to support all laws and the rules of good conduct necessary to keep the sale of beer on a high plane.
