The senators agreed that taxation would be probably the biggest issue of the coming session. This is the last in a series ex amining Nebraska's taxation past and present. Today's in stallment: The Pros and Cons. . i By Carroll Kraus School of Journalism Class Indications are that develop ment of a suitable broadened base that will please everyone and still bring enough revenue to run government won't be an overnight job. Previous limited "meetings of minds" have brok en up with little accomplished. Wide gaps exist in the various groups' beliefs. For Instance, Herman Groom, president of the Omaha Central Labor Union, says his group op poses a broadened tax base and believe that present tax laws are sufficient if enforced. Richard W. Nissley, president of the Nebraska AFL-CIO, said, "We cannot say at this time if we favor a certain broadened tax system until our committee of state board members meet and voice their views. But there has been an Indication that the board favors an' in come tax only providing all re sources have been analyzed." He said the Nebraska AFL CIO at its 5th annual conven tion in Grand Island last Octo ber passed a resolution oppos ing a general sales tax, conclud ing that it "can be accepted only at a last resort to save pub lic service when no other prac tical alternatives are available." "Taxes on food, heat, light and clothing should not be necessary in an economy cele brated for its productiveness and in a country which honors itself , ,f pf , productiveness and compassion towards its poorer citizens," Nisley said. He said the Nebraska AFL CIO favors a "tax group of dedi cated citizens and a group of tax specialists to analyze cur present system for discussion of the problem we face as a state and what has to be done to correct them." On the other side of the fence, John Lynch, executive secretary of the Nebraska State Educa tion Association, says the NSEA "favors any form of a broad ened tax base, but prefers a combination sales and income tax to more nearly equalize the tax burden among all classes of citizens" and is working with "any and all" organiations seek ing a change in the tax base. Another group behind a broader base is the Nebraska State Grange. N ebraska Master G. A. Spidel of Lincoln says the Grange fa vor a tax change because "the farmers who constitute 20 per cent of the population receive from 10 to 20 per cent of the income of the state, pay 50 per cent of the property tax for the state purposes. Thus they are paying about 2Vz times what they should, based on ability to pay as measured by income." He said the Grange believes' that the property tax would have to be retained along with other taxes when and if the tax base is broadened since it is less subject to economic swings than income or sales taxes. However, Spidel points out that "there must be exemptions in the sales tax that will protect the farmer from actually hav ing his proportionate tax bur den increased. This means that purchases of farm equipment and feed, seed and fertilizers must be exempt." The Grange has published several articles this year concer ning a possible change in the tax base in its "News Sheet." In the April issue, it states that "In their demand for tax re form farmers have sounded an uncertain note. About the only thing on which they agree is that they want a tax change only if it will bring an immedi Surest Thing ate tax reduction to them per sonally, and that It must be so designed as to prevent future tax increases." Fears of government, fears of revenue spending sprees and fears of higher equipment and living costs were listed as some of the reasons the farmer shows a "disaffection" for "protecting the status quo.' ' The News Sheet said, "The search for tax reform to bene fit the farmer and home owner will be fruitless until the farm er realizes that the opposition is following successfully the principle of divide and con quer.' The propaganda effort beamed at maintaining the status quo in taxation has been amazingly successful." In the February-March issue of the News Sheet, it was point ed out, however, that the de mand for change in the tax system cn the part of farmers "is not as unanimous as many people think." Another farm group. 'ie Ne braska Farmer's Union, has in recent years favored the broad ened tajrbase "to the extent of favoring a state income tax to serve as a source of additional revenue in order to prevent ex cessive increases in the proper ty tax." The Farmer's Union, however, has opposed the insti tution of a general sales tax, according to President Elton Berck. He said it was felt a sales tax would De discriminatory since farmers "are traditionally and historically large purchas ers of equipment, supplies which they need to use" in farming. Berck says farmers feel that an income tax would be more acceptable since it would be more nearly based on the ability to pay. In addition, under drought conditions affecting agricultural income, farmers would not be forced into pay ing higher taxes as they would under the sales tax system "pretty much without regard to whether they had a crop or not." Other organiations that gen erally have favored a sales tax or a combination sales-income tax have been the Nebraska Farm Bureau, the Nebraska Real Estate Association, the Ne braska Homebuilders Associa tion and the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce. Past opposition has centered in Omaha, where labor uniens are strong, and a long state borders where the neighboring state has a sales In early 1958, the United Tax Equity Council was formed to place an amendment on the November, 1958, ballot that would have provided that the property tax no longer levi ed for support of the state's general fund after Jan. 1, 1959. Chairman of the council was former State Sen. Norman Otto of Kearney, now administrative assistant to Governor Morrison. The Nebraska Architects As sociation polled state archi tects that year and the archi tects favored a broadened tax base. At about the same time, Nebraska Business and Profes sional Women voted to support the Tax Equity Council's pro posed drive as did the State School Boards Association and tho First Congressional Dis trict's National Farmer Organi ation. But at this time some groups, such as the Nebraska State Council of Machinists and the Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen in Nebraska, came out against a sales or in come tax. Parent - Teacher Association units were freed to give their own decisions on the matter af ter the state PTA had voted down proposals to back the Equity Council; Omaha PTA in terests had voiced stong opposi tion to the proposals. Later in 1958, some groups in favor of a broadened tax base decided not to support or drop ped support for the Equity Council petition drive. The Council discontinued the drive after 30.000 of 57,000 required signatures to put the amend ment on the ballot were obtain- ed. Early this year, a group called Nebraskans for Constitutional Amendments sprung up with the announced aim of placing an amendment on last Novem ber's ballot through a petition drive. The amendment would have provided for a 2 per cent general sales and use tax and a graduated income tax with a 4 per cent top. It also would have abolished the levy on in tangible property such as stocks 1-HE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNA Thursday, January 19, 1961 Freshman Legislators 27 to 77 How do the fifteen freshman Nebraska legislators compare with the whole Legislature In age, experience, education, fam ily numbers, and religion? The previous column of this series found the typical Nebras ka legislator to be 55 years old, with one chance in three of be ing a farmer or rancher, one chance in four of being a Metho dist, having between 2 and 3 children, and a member of many civic, fraternal and professional groups. The average age of freshman State Senators is 57, with their ages ranging from 27 to 77. One is in his 20s, one in his 30s, two in their 40s, three in their 50s, five in their 60s, and three hi their 70s. Eleven of the fresh man are over 50; and all are men. The odds are just short of one in two he is a farmer or rancher. Seven are in this category. Three are bankers; and one each, an attorney, trust com pany employee, retired farm implement dealer, retired bot tler, and pharmacist. Chances are the same as for the whole Legislature the fresh man is a Methodist one in four. Two Indicate their church as Christian or Episcopal; and one each, Catholic, Presbyterian and Lutheran. Four list no church preference. The new State Senator is more likely to be a college graduate than his more experienced col legue nine are. He is also more likely to be a University of Nebraska graduate seven are. One has two years of col lege; two are high school grad uates; and three do not indicate their educational attainment. He's likely to have a family, but his family averages two children, compared wi&b4wtin 2 and 3 for the more experienced legislator. Of the eleven fresh man legislators who indicate they are parents, three indicate one child; three, two; and three four; and two indicate three children. Freshman legislators indicate they belong to Masonic orders, Elks, Knights of Columbus, Ro tary, Klwanis, Lions, the Cham ber of Commerce, the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Bar Association, Farm Bureau, Farmers Union, Stockgrowers, and Livestock Feeders Association. Freshman legislators average two years older than the veter ans, are more likely to be far mers or ranchers, college gradu ates of the University of Nebras ka, and have fewer children. Otherwise, they are like their ex perienced associates one of your neighbors and serious about doing the best job they know how in solving state problems. and bonds and allowed a $2,000 exemption on household goods and personal items. Ten groups originally support ing Nebraskans for Constitu tional Amendments later indi cated disagreement with the constitutional amendment ap proach and in June the petition drive was halted . A group called the Nebraska Tax Study Group grew out of the original organization and Lincoln Businessman Ervln Pet erson was named chairman. The originators of Nebraskans for Constitutional Amendments had been chiefly state senators and legislative candidates. Among the strongest recent supporters as state senators of a broadened tax base besides Gcv. Dwight Burney have been Norman Otto, State Senator Hans Jensen, 4th District rcpre senative Don McGinley, and former state senator, Monroe Bixler. It would be easy to write sim ply that Nebraskans are once more choosing up sides on the taxation issue. However, as ex perienced observers point out, this would be a seriouss over simplification. The question of broadening Nebraska's taxes is as broad as j the phrase itself. And the j state's senators indicate that ! they understand clealy that; their job may be one of .skill- j fully blending the past and lhe present for the future. Lyndon IJ. Johnson, Vice President-elect: "I think Senator Kennedy made some very fine selections It is a group of men who will work well together." PAGE SEVEN Realty Transfers J. A. & Minnie E. Scotten to J.

HASTINGS The potential in. come from castor beans is con siderably higher than for corft ' at current prices, a University of Nebraska agronomist declare ed here Friday. Jy,. "This is true of both net and gross income," said Dr. David Kittock, who is in charge of the University's castor bean re search work in central Nebras ka. "As with most crops, the higher the income the more haz ardous is production of the crop. The main problems in growing castor beans that are not lm- portant in corn production in clude the following : - - Castor beans will not stand "wet feet." That is, soil which Is continually saturated with moisture. - - Castor beans are not as competitive with weeds in early growth stages. As a result, there is a need for better weed control. Timely use of available cultiva tion equipment should adequate ly control weeds in most cases." "We harvested 964 acres of castor beans in Nebraska last year," Dr. Kittock stated. "The average yield was 1,227 pounds per acre for an average return of $63.85 per acre to the grower. The top yield uunder irrigation was 2.200 pounds per acre. Un der dryland conditions, the top yield was 1,201 pounds per acre. Based on returns and yields hi 1960, it looks like castor beans will become an established crop in Nebraska agricultui;e.
