S5aE2tS33 THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAl PAOS POUR Thursday, November 27, 1952 Servicemen Will Enjoy Bountiful Dinner Also Cass county servicemen, both in the States and overseas, will enjoy a bounteous Thanksgiv ing Day dinner just like the folks at home, in keeping with the Armed Services Thanksgiv ing Day menu. Turkey will be on the menu for most servicemen, regardless of where they are stationed. Even in Korea, where possible, troops will feast on turkey. But back home, where similar bountiful dinners, which will be marked by family gatherings and get-togethers, most parents will be wondering whether a certain young man will be en joying the holiday occasion. It will be hard to have the family together on Thanksgiving, and yet not have "Johnnie" present. But in the spirit of Thanks giving, families will be voicing their" prayers to God for the safety of American youth, and they'll be thankful that maybe next year, American servicemen will be back home with their families. But while Americans must still fight and die on dis- j tant soil, folks at home can be thankful for the democracy of j the American government, and ; for the spirit with which Am- : erican boys traverse the earth to protect and extend the ideas ' pjc Leon N. Mink of America. Among local servicemen, who are observing the national holi- t day. Thanksgiving, in camps. ' overseas, aboard ship are the i following.

Crosby sat clown together here this week to begin to hammer out a budget to be placed be fore the 1953 Legislature. As the two men began hear ings on the budget requests of the several state agencies, it ap peared questionable whether they would submit a combined budget or separate budgets. Although he had sat in on hearings with his predecessor, Dwight Griswold. Peterson pre pared his own budget for the 1947 Legislature. Of the 40 agencies making re quests, 19 have asked for less money than was appropriated for the current biennium; six teen are asking for more and five are about the same. Of the bigger spending agen cies, these requests have been submitted. Current Appro. Request Assistance $42,478,000 35.871,000 Highwavs 33.336.000 40.494.000 Nebr.

Aitken said that was th? word he had received from TT. 3. Bureau of Public Roads of ficials. The engineer commented in rep:.,- .o article in The Oil Jobber, monthly publication of the Nebraska Petroleum Market ers. He tickea off four "errors" in the stcry and said: '"The petroleum industry would b? happy if the Highway Department did sit idly by while the money lapsed. Then the petroleum people could have ; told the people of Lincoln and j Omaha that these projects ta i viaduct in Lincoln and airport j road in Omaha could have bsen built with little cost to them and that the Highway De partment didn't do anything about it." It was one of the strongest worded statements Aitken has issued and one of the first direct replies to criticism of his department.

Schir.idt read back for us to identify the person. Mrs. W. O. Sehewe won the prize tor mosi proper identifications. Then Mrs. Rikli picked a three person panel and our pleasure came through a short session of 'What's My Line." The hostess served a lovely lunch and we mrted hoping to meet for our all-day Christmas meeting with Mrs. Carl Richert, December 17. Mrs. A. J. Tool was taken sud denly quite sick on Sunday and was taken to an Omaha hospital in an ambulance. Mr. and Mrs. Everett Lindell are the proud parents of a son be -n Saturday, November 22nd. Mr. and Mrs. George Kruse and family are the owners of a new 1953 Plymouth. Funeral services for L. D. Whitley were held in Omaha on Saturday. A number from Mur dock attended the funeral. ' Mr. and Mrs. Herman Wendt got moved into their new home in Murdock on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Warren Tool and children of Mississippi visited friends and relatives in Murdock on Sunday and Monday. No. 302 The Nebraska Legislature pro bably will be asked to consider seme adaptation of the Wyom ing system of taxing motor ve hicles, it appeared here in the wake of a wordy session called by a committee of legislators. The lawmakers, who constitute the executive committee of the ,Nebraskans For the Six Consti tutional Amendments, called the meeting to air views on imple menting the constitutional amendment No. 320 on the Nov. 4 ballot which gives the Legis lature authority to establish a new method of taxing motor ve hicles. Floyd Pohiman of Auburn, himself a state senator, outlined the Wyoming plan for the com mittee. He spoke as chairman o the legislative committee of the Nebraska New Car Dealers Association. Briefly, this is how the plan works: I Each type of motor vehicle ' would be assessed on a state- wide, uniform basis, usin the manufacturer's price as the base and making the tax a percen- ! tage of that. Each year the car grows cider, a small percentage would be levied. Wyoming stops this "depreciation" at the end of five years; other states use ten years. Thus, every, owner of, say. a 1950 Buick, would pay the same as all the other Nebraska own ers of the same make and model. Pohiman cited this example: A 1951 Ford sedan here in Lincoln now pays $44.97. Under the proposal, it would pay $31.50. The same car. in rural Lancaster county now pays $20.73 but un der the proposal would pay the same $31.50 as the car in Lin coln. Everyone concerned agrees that it's going to take a lot of work to develop a scheme which will win widespread approval. That's why the committee set another session for December 15. It appeared possible that if opposition to the Wyoming plan becomes determined, the Legis lature may simply move to plug the loopholes through which the state is now losing thousands of dollars in delinquent motor ve - hide taxes and put off for a session or two the thornier pro blem of figuring how to take j . seme of the property tax bur- 1 den off the shoulders of the car owner.

Tt ic I Mrs. Lvle Stock's father pass- tion of the State Board of Equa lization in setting the valuation of Johnson County farm land at 82 percent of its average sale price, nighest in the state. The suit is brought by Lewis E. Laflin, now a resident of Lincoln, buc who still retains large land holdings in Johnson county. Laiun filed the suit after the Board of Equalization ordered 19 counties in which the farm land valuation was less than 50 per cent oi the sales price to raise it to 50 percent. But the board took no action on Laflin's request to lower the Johnson county valuations. Try Again Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, whose application for a rate increase was denied only a few weeks ago by the State Railway Commission has filed a new one. The company is asking that it be allowed to post a bond and collect the higher rates until the case is finally settled.
