St Patrick Walked l Sgftfy; Carried
By Janet Sack
Today the . Emerald Isle
of elves and mischievous
leprechauns who hoard
their pots of gold is cele
brating St. Patrick's Day.
But what is St. Patrick's
Day? Where did it come
from? How did it orig
inate? Today commemorates the
date of St. Patrick's death
hundreds of years ago. It
is celebrated in Ireland with
every kind of demonstration
to show their affection for
the memory of the patron
saint of Erin.
The St., Patrick's Day fes
tivities in Dublin is un
equalled by any other holi
day, of that sort in all of
Ireland. . , '

Income Tax Bills
Still Pending
By Nancy Whitford
The fate of three companion bills, which could alter
the source of income for the University and other state sup
ported institutions, is still pending in committee after four
and and one-half hours of public hearing.
Nearly 500 people crowded the Main Senate Chairber
Thursday to hear and give testimony on the controversial
measures to broaden Nebraska's tax base LB421, 422 and
423.
LB421 would levy a general
two, per cent sales tax and a
graduated income tax of from
one to four per cent of fed
eral taxable income; LB422
would eliminate the state
from the property tax field
and LB423 would place a sur
tax on dividends as a substi
tute for the intangible pro
perty tax on stocks and
bonds.
Sen. Hans Jensen of Au
rora, a co-sponsor of the bill
and a member of the revenue
committee which conducted
the hearing, led the organized
supporters of the bill with
the contention, that the pro
perty tax "no longer repre
sents ability to pay."
Non-Property
He said non-property own
rrs do not pay as much to
wards educating their c h i !
dren as property owners who
earn the same amount of in
come.
Other co-introducers Sens.
Willard Waldo of DeWitt, The
odore McCosh of Gering and
Fern Hubbard Orme of Lin
coln, offered amendments and
labeled the bill as the "best
sales-income measure pro
duced yet."
"I am convinced we can
no longer keep adding and
adding to the real estate and
property base, "McCay said.
"I have bt-en too much prop
erty go by the wayside just
to avoid taxation."
Roger Dickeson, Lincoln
attorney representing the
property tax release comit-
tee, said the three bills would
neither increase nor decrease
taxes but would distribute the
burden more equitably..
Favor Measure
Other groups favoring the
measures include the Nebras
ka Home Builders Associa
tion, Nebraska State Grange,
Lincoln Chamber of Com
merce, Nebraska Farm Bu
reau and a number of tax
payers and land owners.
Ray Scott, of the Omaha
Industrial Foundation, coun
tered with the declaration
that sales and income taxes
have not solved Iowa's prob
lem. "Lack of these two taxes,"
he said, "attracts industry to
Nebraska."
Owen Cotton, vice president
of the Association of Nebras
ka Tax Payers, said property
taxes had not diminished in
neighboring states such as
Kansas,' Colorado and Iowa
"although these states now
have sales and income, taxes
in addition." .
Nebraska escaped the "de-
nroccinn " nf IQfirt rhieflv be-
yiL V o kjvs v - a.vw
cause of a balanced economy
and favorable tax climate, ac
cording to Marvin Schmid,
chairman of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce.
Additional operation came
from labor leaders, farm
groups and tax payers.

Games of Irish origin are

This is a popular song
sung by the Irish on St.
Pat's Day:
St. Patrick's the holy and
tutelar man;
His beard hung down his
bosom like Aaron's ran:
Some from Scotland, from
Wales, will declare that
he came,
But I care not from
when now he's risen
to fame:
The pride of the world and
his enemies scorning,
. I will drink to St. Patrick,
to-day, in the morning!
He's a desperate big, little
Erin go braugh; .
He will pardon our follies
ha, a member of the revenue
committee and a declared
opponent of the three bills, has
predicted they will reach the
floor whether approved by the
committee or not.
