Eight days after axing the gasoline tax increase, the law makers chopped down, by a vote of 25 to 13, L. B. 520 which would haye increased truck registra tion fees. Meanwhile, the revenue com mittee killed the ton-mile tax bill on which it had been nest ing since March. Then, in an llth-hour des peration move. Sen. Charles Tvrdik of Omaha got his rev enue committee to sponsor a new bill, L. B. 562, which pro vides a use tax on all vehicles and would run for one year. The measure was set for hear ing this week, but even Tvrdik would give the bill no better than an even chance of passage. The proposal wrould require a use stamp on each vehicle in the state licensed between July, 1951 and January 1953. Passen ger cars and motorcycles would j pay a dollar; taxis and farm , trucks, $5; city buses would pay ! $10, interurban buses, $25. The , fee on trucks would range from $5 for farm trucks to $12.50 per ton on trucks over 20 tons. Tvrdik guesses the income would be somewhere around one and a half-million dollars. This would be split 40 per cent to the wm.f is? OTTO'S SPECIAL OFFER!

TWO VIEWPOINTS - The motion to kill the truck registration bill was made by Sen. O. H. Person, a wanoo vet erinarian. He also led the at tack on the gas tax increase. Senator Person said he did not want to argue whether the state needed more money for roads or whether the highway department is inefficient. "We all have our minds made up on those things." What he does consider important, Person said, is that "if we believe in democ racy, we should abide by the vote of the people." Nebraska voters last year reversed the ac tion of the 1949 legislature which approved a gas tax hike and registration fee bill similar to those proposed this session. But Sen. Dwight Burney of Hartington, like Person, a vet eran legislator, did not agree. "The people of my district," Burney said, "elected me because they had a little bit of confi dence in me and in my judg ment." That means, according to Burney that the legislature must find a solution to the state's problems, including high ways. He asked his colleagues: "Are we to come down here and let our roads go to pot just be cause a certain bill was killed in a referendum?" The answer, apparently, was yes. ANOTHER STUDY The legislature was expected this week to pass, almost with out dissension a resolution of fered at week's end by Sens. Cramer, Carmody, Hoyt and t Vlo irriT it acKnowieages me legisla ture has failed to develop a road program (because of a lack of time, it is explained in a hand written insertion to the typed copy) and proposes a legislative council study of the state's high way needs and suggested solu tions, including toll roads. Few senators could escape the irony of the fact that the 1949 program so-called the gover nor's highway program was based on an exhaustive study by a big committee of both Demo crats and Republicans, all rec ognized leaders in their fields. FEL'D One of the capitol's bitterest feuds has flared into the open and may jeopardize the chances of passage of the 183-page elec tion recodification bill. Loren E. Laughlin, sometime state budget director, now act ing as legal adviser to the legis latures enrollment and review committee, found what he con sidered to be 16 major flaws in the bill and further, questioned its constitutionality. He called it "a very vague, uncertain, con fusing and unspecific way to legislate." Those were fighting words to perky little Walter D. James, the revisor of statutes who had put five months of work into the bill, he said. After some overly-polite ex changes between the two legal eagles, the battle appeared a stand-off, although Assistant Attorney General Bert Overcash did tell Sen. Jack McKnight, spons.or of the bill, that he be lieved it to be constitutional. NO, THANKS General of the Army Douglas MacArthur was sorry, but "the pressure of my commitments" orevented his getting out to Ne braska to address the Nebraska legislature. But the fired Far Eastern commander cautiously left the door open: Ke hoped to be able to come "later on." Speaker Ed Hoyt invited the general after the senators ap proved by a vote of" 34 to 0, a resolution offered by Sen. Tom Adams of Lincoln, at the re quest of Mrs. Mary Kenny of Lincoln, manager of the Mac Arthur for President campaign in the state in 1949. Sen. Charles Tvrdik of Oma ha, who owns a well-developed sense of humor, managed two chuckles out of the affair. When Senator McKnight, who sits in the seat ahead of Tvrdik, said he thought it would be "very wonderful" to hear MacArthur, Tvrdik rose. "Mr. President," he said, "if this will help make Lt. Col. (National Guard t Mc Knight a full colonel, I'm for it." When Hoyt announced Mac-' Arthur wasn't coming until "latei on," Tvrdik said, "Mr. President, I move we stay in session till he gets here." ET CETERA These were the other devel opments in an abbreviated week: Adjournment date now ap pears to be May 29 with luck. Last Friday's meeting was the shortest of the session 39 min utes. The public works committee's resolution calling for a studv of watershed legislation was ap proved, 34 to 0. Pay hikes for the governor and supreme court justices were approved, 39 to 6, but don't become effective for two years. The governor goes from $10,000 to $11,0C0 and the men in black from $6,800 to $7,400. PROMISE TO BE CHURCHGOERS LIGONIER, Pa. Four de linquent boys can escape formal punishment by Burgess C. W.
