Senator Metzger was present ed by President Furse express ing the pleasure that all felt in his coming here to tell of the work of legislature. Senator Metzer in opening stated that in this session they had found that there were eighteen of the older members absent by reason of the elec tion, and the new members were of course not experienced, lie also praised the work of the state safety patrol. The patrol hnd brought into the revenues $5C,000 in increased license fees for trucks and to the counties of the state $125,003 in fines for highway violations. The cost of this department was very low and the men that served there were deserving of every com mendation. In touching on the expendi tures, the speaker stated that the revenues were secured from a number of sources other than property tax, an immense amount of the funds was divert ed to the use of the schools, cities and counties. He also touched on work of the state legislative council that had con sidered among other studies the matter of county consolidation in the smaller populated coun ties. The council had also con sidered md recommended the school redisricting bill to re lieve much of the congestion of the schools. One county, Kear ney, had already showed a great deal of interest in getting plans ready, in Cass county there had been no active moves to take ad vantage? of the proposed re disricting. In the northeast section of the stale tne redis ricting had met some opposi tion. The matter of salaries had been one of the big problems of the legislature, how to pay salaries that would attract well qualified people to public office. One case was cited, that where the county attorney of Douglas county had been increased to a figure larger than that of the attorney general. s:ill not out of just reason. The salaries of the state auditor and state treasurer were also inadequate the speaker stated. In the health department the head of the de partment received less than many of the other employes. Senator Metzger stated the Taxpayers league should realize that good and qualified people had to receive a living wage. The speaker pointed out that state official salaries were set cn a basis of 1920. The work of the lobby in the legislature was also touched up on by the speaker who cited in stances cf the activities, partic ularly of the Farm Bureau group, definately against the road program, their activities misleading the farmers of the state. The road program as proposed by Governor Peterson also was touched upon, the speaker pointing out that the governor had appointed a commission to check over the situation and Co..

No. 1C09 Apr. 25, 1949. make reports to be presented to the unicameral: The study had revealed the increasing heavy trucks and their operation on tho highways with the finding that the roads had suffered a great deal. The road program was vigor ously opposed by the Farm Bu reau, oil people and the truck ers. Increase in the gas tax and increased license fees had brought much opposition. In Nebraska the license fee of $10 in pre-war days had been scal ed down lo $3 and $5. In Kan sas, trucks were given a low license fee, but were charged a tax on their operation of ton nage, while in Nebraska the only cost was the gas tax and license fee. One, if not the most pressing of the state problems, was that of the roads, whicli by reason of increasing weight of trucks and traffic and the very bad winter weather, had made the highways practically impassi ble. The graveled roads of the state were riddled by the hard winter and heavy traffic, bi tuminous mat roads had been built to a two inch depth in the thirties, and these were all wiped out in the past winter and would have to be replaced. Senator Metzger in discussing the sales tax pointed out that the fact that Nebraska had no sales tax, had, in a way, inter fered with the moving of in dustrial plants here because of the fact that the taxation of the property was much higher than that in Iowa where the sales tax had relieved the property tax to a large extent. In this connection the senator criticised the one single tax system that had prevailed in the earlier da vs. The question of the educa tional situation in the state was touched on in reply to questions from the members present. Mr. Metzger stated the desire cf the state normal schools that now have the right to issue oachelor of art degrees in teaching, and now seek to have the right to issue these degees in the fine arts. The speaker pointed out that in manj' states the higher educational schools were all under cne head. In reply to questions as to the sale tax. Senator Metzger pointed out that the property tax in Iowa had been $136,000 the past year and in Nebraska, had been $8,000,000. proving that the tax had served as a re placement. The senator stated that it was estimated that in Nebraska a two per cent tax would bring in $20,000,000 a year to support the government costs. It was pointed out that in the operation of the sales tax the merchant was the tax col lection and was allowed a smail percentage for his services that resulted in a very fair return in the year. Following the meeting the members of the group enjoyed an informal visit with the sen ator who later returned to Lin coln.

EVERY effort should be made to maintain sound pro- tection of the foods that go to the family table. This great nation was not built upon misrepresenta-. tion and imitation. It has grown great as the result of jair competition among products sold to the public for exactly what they are. Today an effort is being made to confuse the situa tion by allowing another product to assume the golden yellow color that has become recognized as BUTTER'S trademark color. This would lead to confusion. It would encourage misrepresentation. It would be con-i trary to the public's best interest. ONLY BUTTER CAN BE BUTTER and no action should be taken that would permit misrepresentation through imitation. Through the years BUTTER has been made from GOLDEN CREAM four pints to every pound . . . AMERICA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A BUTTER COUNTRY! BUTTER has been the nation's standard of good liring. 1 Let's' keep it that way. No one likes to be fooled. Misrepresentation should not be allowed to happen to BUTTER through imitation of BUTTER'S yellow color. The public doesn't want it to happen. You don't want it to happen. That's why the dairy farmers of the nation make this proposal to free the public from oleomarga rine taxes while at the same time protecting the public from fraud: 1. Remove all taxes and license fees on oleo margarine paid by the public and the food industry. 2. Prohibit the use of yellow color in the man ufacture and sale of oleomargarine in imitation Of BUTTER. " The Granger-Andreson Bill now before the Congress removes all taxes. It prohibits movement of oleo margarine colored yellow in imitation of BUTTER in interstate commerce. It permits each state to regulate within its own borders. To this extent it rives vou the protection you have a right to expect when you buy MUTTER. You would pay no tax. Fraud would be pre vented. This is auV proposal in the public interest o.vr interest. You would get a choice between yellow HITTER and products not colored in imitation of lUTlTR.
