Cole, reported on the events of the Legislature for the past month. LB 575 and LB 576 are bills likely to cause far mers and ranchers more money and put them under the control of the State Railway Commis sion If they become law. If pass ed, these bills would change the farm truck registration fee basis from factory rated carrying ca pacity to net load hauled. While it would not affect the "F" clas sification or the license fee rate, the bill would have the effect of increasing license fees for in dividual farmers, because in most cases the factory rated carrying capacity is consider ably less than the net load which a truck can haul. LB 274, if passed would define a farm tractor as a motor ve hicle. This means that persons operating farm tractors, under Nebraska Law, would be com pelled to be licensed and that youths under 16 years of age could not legally drive the trac tos; all tractors would need to be licensed and' insured; and there would be no gas tax re fund.
