Call Your News And Social Items To 241 Sales Tax 'Only Direction To Go Speaker Says A sales tax appears to be the "only direction we can go to broaden our tax base," Dr. Ed. ward B. Schmidt of the Univer sity of Nebraska department of economics said In a talk here Tuesday. He told the Rotary Club he would not advise, abandoning the property tax even though a sales tax were adopted. "We need as flexible a system as possible" to provide funds need ed to provide governmental ser vices, he said. He said he did not think a state income tax plausible be cause of the way the federal in come tax is being exploited. Dr, Schmidt made no forecast about tax measures in Nebras ka, only gave his own impres sions of developments from per sonal studies. Among his observations were these: That people often react emo tionally to the subject of taxes. That often conversation about taxes is inversely proportionate to knowledge. That we have an affinity for the services of modern govern ment but are allergic to the tax es which make them possible. That arriving at the best method of taxation by trial and error is costly. ; That In Nebraska there has been too much tax agitation and too little tax education. Nebraska, he said, has about $54 per year per capita In loc al and state taxes, compared with the national average of a bout $77 and the national state high of $140.
