He has voluntarily submitted to gov ernment because, only by the establishment cf just laws, and the power to enforce those laws, can to return. an orderly life be maintained, full and equal op portunity for all be established, and the blessings of liberty be perpetuated." With these words as their philosophy of gov ernment, the Republican Party met in Chicago la Inly, drafted a platform which it hoped would carry It back tni the Presidency of the United States an Nev, 4 and chose Gen. Dwight D. Eis enhower as the standard bearer. slate constitution. These proposals will be placed on the ballot at the general election Nov. 4 and the ftaal passing will be p to the voters to decide whether they are to be incorporated la the fundamental law ef Nebraska. -u.. r.T-.A ihf assessment is lower. car is a year mu -. - The levy is made Aug. 6, 1953, and goes on the tax roll, but payment is not due until December, 1853.

Eisenhower's ability to act as a statesman and diplomat was tested and found admirably quali fied in his preparations for liberation campaigns in Europe. Following the wari Eisenhower, 'as Chief cf Staff, fought for unification cf U.S. land, sea and air forces. As president of Columbia Uni versity, Eisenhower made clear his political phil osophies as a middle of the road Republican, a be liever on government by free men with' a minimum encumbrance ef the law, a believer in decentral-i of the countries f the Far East, establishment of ized government, state's right,, equal laws for ail a national home for the Jewish people, peace be tween Israel and the Arab States, and repudiation of all committments contained la secret under standings such as Yalta, Teheran and Potsdam. . . . fair bnt vSgoroas enforcement of laws to safeguard ear coon try from subversion and disloyalty is the party's stand ea Communism. Their 'free economy" program runs tbnsly: to aid small business, to remove tax abases and injurious price and wage controls, canal enforce ment ef anti-monopoly and unfair -competition statutes, opposition to federal rent control except in those areas where the expansion ef defense production has been accompanied by critical boosing shortages. On taxation and monetary policy, the GOP promises elimination cf waste, study to reallocate fields of taxation to allow greater fiscal freedom to the states and municipalities, recodification f International revenue laws, Federal Reserve Sys tem exercising Its functions without pressure from the Treasury or the "White House, realization of a dollar on a fully-convertible gold basis. Full parity prices, commodity loans on non perishable products, on-fhe-farm" storage, suffi cient farm credit and voluntary self-supoprting crop insurance are the crux of the parry's farm program.

Most significant item from the party's natural resources plank is the favoring of restor ation to the States of their rights to all lands and resources beneath navigable inland and offshore waters within their historic boundaries. Most of the republican party stand is well known In this nation that "has seen the Grand Old people, increased social security aids and reason able security with national solvency. Gen. Eisenhower cannot be all things to all people at all times. Senator Morse left the Re publican party disillusioned by Ike's crusade. McCarthy and Jenner remain within the ranks ef! the Republican hierarchy and thereby disillusion more staunch GOF$ than the Oregon Senator.' Eisenhower's apparent conciliatory actions toward the Old Guard party headed by Senator Taft hare saddened many more people. The Daily Xebrasfcan would like to point not that Eisenhower is still the same nun today as be was when welcomed by the nation at the close ef the Republican convention. He is still saying with the sincerity and conviction so ap parent in all his campaigning the very things by which we knew him. General Eisenhower commands the respect f the entire tree world. His diplomatic, adminis trative and organizational abilities have been proven. He has seen the horrors of war and the possibilities of peace. The whole life of this great leader has been one of devotion to duty and pro tection of liberty for his people. Ike has returned to this land to become presi dentto remain within the field of public serv ice. He has proven himself in the past and has conducted bis appeal to the American people on Che basis f the issues en Che basis of exactly what he believes and on the basis of bis align ment with the philosophies f the Kepublicaa party. The Nebraskan agrees with Eisenhower pnr! with his party. "We urge every voter to cast his ballot for the integrity, sincerity, high purpose and progressive leadership of the Republican party, .

For the thousands of persons who come Into the state to work for a short time and depart without paying any taxes on their automobiles, this proposed amendment would remedy the sit uation as far as the motor vehicle tax is con cerned.

Proposal by initiative petition and approved by the voters. , 3. Proposal by a constitutional convention and approval by the voters. These provisions for amendment reveal that the writers of the Nebraska Constitution were well aware that changing circumstances would require revisions in the fundamental law ef the state. They also bring nt the fact that the final authority for approving r rejecting any " . .

In 1949, the Nebraska Legislative Council made a comprenensive survey oi propoea cnmts ia the State Constitution and concluded that there was no desperate need for immediate or drastic change. For the purpose of effecting the needed revision with emphasis on obsolete terminology, the Council recommended that a constitutional convention be called. . , However, the 1951 Legislature rejected the proposal but the session did introduce 11 pro posed amendments ia the LegUlatare. Of this nnmber, fire were rejected.
