Weeping Water Mr. and Mrs. Frank Nickels, I Capitol News LINCOLN Taxation was far and away the No. 1 problem belfcre the Legislature this week. Spurred on by Gov. Robert B. Crosby's personal request for a legislative policy before Feb. 25, the lawmakers buckled down to face what has emerged as the prime headache of the season. Crosby came before the Legis lature last week to sketch the situation: The Nebraska Supreme Court held, in the now-famous John son County case, that property under the Constitution must be assessed equitably and uniform ly at 100 per cent of its value. Present law provides for as sessment of real estate every two years and that class off prop Glen and Velda were afternoon erty is not up for re-assessment nnrl ciinnpr fmpcts nf Mr nnrl in i . ?

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Minium and John were business visitors in Plattsmouth Saturday. They called on Mr. and Mrs. John Fitch. Mr. Troy Jewell returned home Saturday after visiting his son and dauehter-in-law. Mr. and It Happened In NEBRASKA- of Julian has submitted a bill to provide for annual assessments. Two other bills have an im portant bearing on the tax problem, LB 272. by Sens. Earl J. Lee of Fremont, Art Carmody of Trenton and Hal Briden baugh of Dakota City providing that all property be assessed at just half its actual value; and LB 69 by Lee and Sen. Dwight Bumey of Hartington limiting tax collections to 105 per cent of the total collected the pre vious vear. The second measure Mrs. Lyal Jewell in New York j is important because if all valu ations are raised to 1C0 per cent and the levise aren't lowered, the total tax dollar will be staggering. All three measures are sched uled for hearing this week and the senators were preparing to The Helping Hand Aid Society set aside other matters to clear met for their annual basket the decks for sneedy action, dinner on Wednesday, Feb. 5. 1 Eighteen members and their' Measures to untangle the families and friends enjoyed the knotty school land lease snarl dinner at 12:30 in the Odd Fel- are receiving generally good lows Hall.

Weeping Water Helping Hand Aid Society Has Annual Basket Dinner Sens. Karl Vogl of Omaha and Hal Bridenbaugh of Dakota City can be considered. Both Vogel and Bridenbaugh are orroonents of the highway commission bill. Their measure, LB 268, will be heard by Sen. Carson's Public Works Com mittee this Friday. There is a strong possibility that this session may see re enacted the breakup of highway legislation which took place the closing days of the 1951 session. The backers of bills to in crease highway revenue by up ping the gas tax and registra tion fees have threatened to withdraw them if LB 4 passes. And by the same token, the Carmody-Carson-Coffey grouo win not support tne revenue i bills unless the commission bill j is approved. ! GO HOME i Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff has offered a resolu tion calling cn his colleagues to accept Gov. Crosby's "budget recommendations and quit. He said he realizes it is a drastic step but he knows no other way to convince the public that the governor's budget is not all right the way it is. In effect, he wants to toss the ball to Crosby and say, "Here, it's yours, run with it." FIGHT Battle lines are already being drawn in what could be one of i the warmest rhubarbs of the I session. ! It's over Sen. Glenn Cramer's LB 467 which would impose a z percent severance tax on oil and gas produced in Nebraska. The income would be earmarked for the permanent school fund and Cramer offered it at the request of the Nebraska State Education Association. Leading the opposition will be Sen. A. A. Frenske of Sunol in whose district the fast-developing oil and gas industry is cen tered. Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff is another ardent I foe. Several eastern -Nebraska ! j senators think the time has : come to slap a "reasonable" tax j jon the. new industry and they! ! reject the arguments of industry j spokesman that development has not reached the point where i taxation and regulation will not j oe ucierrents. THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Thursday, February 12, 1953 Section C PAGE FIVE FIRED I Gov. Crosby has "accepted the resignation" of another ap- j pointee of ex-Gov. Val Peterson. The governor handed reporters a I statement saying that Assistance ! Director Neil C. Vandemoer's j leaving gave him "a feeding of ! regret." i And at the same press con- ference, he announced the ap- ; pointment of Mayme J. Stukel, j an ll-ye'ar veteran of the aid department to succeed him. But Vandemoer said he'd been fired and that he hadn't been , given a reason. He said he ; thought he still had some valu able service to offer the state as he has for the past 16 years. The groom does noe promise to obey, but he obeys, all right.
