LAND, " County Clerk No. 2803 April 14, 1955 Capital News (Continued From Page 2) have had difficutly : with this, too. It may be, however, there is a solution for us in what some other state is doing," said Her-rington. He added that it may become apparent that a study of some type will be needed. Herrington said a really good study would take more time that his present office staff could handle. If such a study were called for, it might be done by either a special Legislative Council committee or by appropriating more money for the tax commis sioner's oftice. Either method would require action by the Legislature and might put some senators on the "hot seat" in how they vote on a proposition. Commission Costs Also worrying the railroads and telephone companies is a bill which would assess them for their share of the costs nf niwr- .ating the Statt Railway Com mission wnicn regulates them. At a public hearing on the mea sure, LB532, it was brought out that the truckers and errain warehousemen pay for their share of the commission's oper ation on a tee system while the railroads and telephone com panies don't oav anv such fees. Spokesmen for these interests claimed tney paid plenty ot taxes, that the commission reg ulation was of no benefit to them, and that nny increased cost would just be passed on the consumer. 13.35 7.84 208.58 202.06 Farmers are reaping a bumper crop from chemicals.

Why Costs Rise l"he Legislature has tentative ly approved adding a fourth cat egory of welfare assistance in Nebraska aid to the totally dis abled. This would be an entirely new program in addition to the pres ent categories of old age assist ance, aid to the blind, and aid to dependent children. Forty states 'now have such programs, in which the federal government liberally partici pates. But during debate on the bill Sen. Lester Anderson of Aurora said a mouthful on why the costs of government keep rising. The new category will add $3.2 mil lion to the state biennial budget, including $1.4 million from the state general fund and $1.8 mil lion in federal money. Anderson remarked, "I'm not saying this isn't a good bill to do millions of dollars worth of good for the 'forgotten people. But if anyone wonders why "we've come from a $30 million budget a few years ago to where we are now approaching the quarter of a billion mark well, this will ex plain it. "Someday we are going to have to bow our necks and decide how far we are going to follow the other states and the federal government. When is it going to stop? How far are we going to go?" Future Costs Small cheer on this same line of philosophy came to the Bud get Committee from University of Nebraska Chancellor Clifford Hardin. He wras discussing the University's request for $3.8 mil lion more in tax funds for an $18.8 million total. Budget Committee Chairman Hal Bridenbaugh of Dakota City THE PLATTSMOUTH. NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Thursday, April 14, 1955 Section B PAGE SEVEN pointed out that the University budget has grown from $6 mil lion in 1947 to $15 million at present. Chancellor Hardin remarked, "It's safe to say that we will be in . for another increase two years from now." He mentioned expected increased enrollments, the competition for teachers which raises salary costs, and the expanding television pro gram. In another committee hearing Don Kline of the State Educa tion" Association was asked how he could justify his production of increased school costs all over the state with the declining farm income. "There is no statistical rela tionship between the number of children being born each year and farmers' income,"Kline replied. Cass County's Greatest, Newspaper The Plattsmouth Journal r !
