Call Your News And Social Items to 241 State Equalization Board In Its Annual Prominence By Melvin Paul Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN Every July a state government board comes into the limelight from relative obscurity the remainder of the year. It is the State Board of Equal ization and Assessment, compos ed by law of the governor, sec retary of state,' auditor, treasur er and the tax commissioner. During July, the board meets to equalize the assessment of property in the counties prepar atory to fixing the state prop erty tax levy. The board has great powers. It fixes the assessed valuation of railroads for the purposes of taxation and the franchise value of public service corpor ations. A franchise is the right to do business. It also equalizes the assess ment of property in the counties and has the power to raise or lower the taxable worth of any county, or a class of property in a county, such as town lots and improvements. The board determines the a mount of all taxes required for state purposes and the rate of taxation upon all property in the state necessary to raise the money to operate state govern ment. This is done before Aug 2 of each year. The current state levy is $8.45 for every $1,000 assessed value of property own ed in Nebraska. That means if a Ncbraskan had a house whose assessed val ue is $2,000, he would pay $16.90 to the state on it, in addition to local taxes. Actual work on how much money is needed and the prob able levy required to raise it is done in the tax commissioner's office, then presented to the board for discussion and action. School Petition A proposal to abolish the State Board of Education will be on the November ballot. It calls for approval of a con stitutional amendment abolish ing the elected board and pro vides for election of the State Commissioner of Education. Now, the board appoints the commissioner and fixes his sal ary. A petition drive by the Ne braska School Improvement As sociation got the necessary 42, 107 valid names of voters on petitions asking that all voters be given the opportunity to ballot on the proposal at the Novem ber election. Before 1953, the head of the education department was e lected on a non-political ticket. A constitutional amendment ap proved by voters authorized es tablishing the elected board. A similar campaign by the association failed in 1958 and a bill introduced in the Legisla ture in 1957 was defeated. The Association has said it feels the To customers of Eastern Nebraska Public Power District Use one of the Willie Wiredhand Silver Jubilee Coins and receive f3 M W M J lH ifeg iss EASTERN NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT Syracuse, Nebraska board has too much power and authority which should be kept by the Legislature The group and the board and Commissioner F. B. Decker have been at odds many times over policies but Association spokesmen say there were no personalities involved in its cam paign to ou.st the board in favor of an elected superintendent. The Association feels that the people would have a more di rect say on school matters if they could vote on the super intendent, rather than the in dividual commissioners. Members of Nebraska's Saf ety Patrol fur the past five years will have bigger pay checks. Col. C. J. Sanders, patrol chief, said raises averaging $20 per month will be given every four years after the first five years with the patrol. The pay scale for the first five years remains the same. Patrolmen put in 60-hour weeks, have no Saturdays, Sundays or holidays olf and receive no ex tra pay for overtime. Each trooper averaged 141 hours of unpaid overtime last year, San ders said. Without the new raises, which will be based on years of serv ice troopers get $450 per month, sergeants $510, lieutenants $550 and captains $610. School Costs The per-pupil costs of edu cating children in one-teacher rural schools in Nebraska ran ges from $24083 in Sarpy Coun ty. to $577.15 in Garden County. That's the report from the State Education Department's statistical division chief, W. A. Schindler. Sarpy has only two such schools while Garden County has 20. School costs include total ex penses of districts plus depre ciation. Considering the state; as a whole, bcnmdler said, the average cost in the one-teacher rural schools is""$314.7 per pupil- The average number of pu pils taught per teacher is the major factor in determining the per-student costs. Revenue Liquor and gasoline tax rev enue collected by the state ran ahead during the first six month of this year as compared with the same period in 1959. Gasoline tax collections for the first six months were up a half million dollars ever a sim ilar time in 1959. Liqmr taxes that the first half of 1959. No, they didn't run out of shotguns.
