Nebraska remained 25 percent below surrounding states in av erage cost per person for Stale Government in the period of 1947 1948. The seven state region embrac ing Nebraska increased taxes for State Government 22 percent in '47-48 period. Nebraska increased 32.2 percent in the same period. Despite its greater increase Ne braska remained behind the aver age. The upward trend was due chiefly to increased prices and wages. Business activity likewise accelerated and more people were doing business at greater volume than ever before in the states his tory. Nebraska experienced its highest income in history in 1947, run ning more than one and a half billion dollars net. All six states bordering Nebraska have a sales tax and four of them have an in come tax. Nebraska has neither. These facts are the probable rea sons why Nebraska's per capita cost of State Government has lagged behind that of its neigh bors.

Members of Orchesis, Pre-Orchesis and the Men's Dancing group participated in the presentation of the pro gram. Two large production numbers presented were the "Furnace of Fire" and the "Juggler of Notre Dame." The first told the story of Nebuchadnezzar, played by Jim Howard, who demanded servitude from all his subjects. Dissenters were cast into a furnace of fire: they were then miraculously saved, moving Ne buchadnezzar and his council to praise God. J The "Juggler of Notre Dame" relates the story of a poor jug gler plaved bv Elizabeth Quin- ton, who juggles before the statue of a Madonna, Myrtis Kirk. He dies at her feet as the Madonna stretches her arm in The Processional and Reces sional were both danced by mem bers of Orchesis to the strains of Adeste Fideles under red and green lighting.

The machine is valuable for determ ining the amount of large aggre gates in the soil which in turn determines the lands drainage capabilities. It also is important in measuring the amount of ero sion that has taken place on land by observing the depth of the top soil. Dr. Hoy P.
