A question that might
well be asked of the Re
publican gubernatorial
candidate is; "What do
you stand for, sir?" Let's
examine Seaton's stand
on three major issues;
the tax base, industrial
growth and federal aid to
education.
On the tax base ques
tion, Seaton is against
sales, income, and corpor
ate taxes. He feels that
as long as we have no
desire for growth there
is no need for expansion
of the tax base. On the
question of industrial
growth Seaton feels it is
unjustified to encourage
"growth for growth's
sake." On the subject of
federal aid to education
he stands against it in
any form.
All of these topics are
closely related. If he is
against growth how can
he bring in more tax
revenue on the present
tax base to pay for the
rising cost of "education
without federal aid? On
none of these issues had
he stood for any program.
He thinks negatively and
offers no alternate pro
gram to assistance to
those need areas.
Why do we need an ex
panded tax base? We are
the cheapest state to live
in in this country. In other
words, the total revenues
collected by the state
when divided by the popu
lation gives us the lowest
per capita cost for the
individual in the nation.
However, not everyone
pays taxes in this state
and it is evident when an
examination of the facts
on our property tax is
made. This state has had
one of the highest prop
erty taxes in the nation.
The exact statistics
show that it has fluctu
ated between first and
third depending ob the
mill levy set up by the
unicameral and the legis
latures of the other states.
Who does pay the taxes
in this state? The prop
erty owners, i.e., the
fanner, the rancher, the
Industrialist and the
homeowner.
The very fact that prop
erty taxes are so high
discourages indus ri
al growth. The idea that
we should fight growth
for growth's sake is re
futed by the loss of one
representative in the
House of Representatives
because we did not grow
we did not even keep
up with other states in
the fifties.
On the third question,

Miller's added bonus
tion Seaton stands pat.
No federal aid, ro federal
control. He Ignores the
fact that this University
was founded by the Fed
eral Land-Grant Act, and
that this state is already
receiving a substantial
amount of federal aid put
in to the school system.
He expects to pay for the
increasing cost of educa
tion by increasing the lo
cal taxes, or as he puts
"adjusting" local taxes.
What does Morrison
stand for? He stands for
an expanded tax base,
for growth and for fed
eral aid to education.
What form do these pro
positions take?
The Governor believes
that we should have an
expanded tax base. What
is the nature of this ex
panded tax base? It could
be any of the previous
three suggested tax forms
or it could be something
entirely different. The
problem of what type of
tax to introduce.
Rather than take a
negative attitude Morri
son has had committees
study the suggested pro
posals with the positive
attitude that the prop
erty owner should be re
lieved of his singular tax
burden to the best ad
vantage of the other citiz
ens of the state. This
state has grown under
the two years Morrison
has been Governor. In the
last eighteen months
forty-four new industries
have located in this
state. What does growth
mean? More revenue even
on an unexpanded tax
base. More growth, more
population.
On the question of fed
eral aid to education Mor
rison stands for the tax
rebate program a pro
gram which Seaton op
poses. In actuality this
program makes the fed
eral government a tax
collector for the state.
Taxes collected from this
state are given back to
the state to use for edu
cation as it sees fit.
The preceding campaign
issues are just a few of
the many issues that
characterize the attitudes
of the two candidates.
Two candidates directly
opposed to each other on
these if not all of the
campaign issues. Two
candidates that dislpay
two lines of thought. One
is negative and one is
positive. The positiveness
of one's program equally
opposed by the negative
ness of the other. The
choice of this election is
between a plan for pro
gress or no plan at all.

CONTRAST
Republican
By MARK ANDERSON
The health of unionol
ogists was severely en
dangered last Thursday
night as hot winds emit
ted from a small politi
cal gathering. Fifty
hardy souls endured fifty
five minutes of cliches, a
few meaningless statis
tics, confusion, generali
ties, and upended logic.
The lack of fatalities may
be explained by immuni
ty obtained from ex
posure to two years of
the governor's speeches.
Morrison got his Young
Democrats on the edges
of their chairs with the
startling statement that
this election is vital to
Nebraska. To make very
sure everyone was
awake, a five minute joke
was delivered. This was
one of the better points of
the speech.
The second cliche of
the evening was the old
standby of the great chal
lenges facing us. One is
to find a governor more
behind his desk.
Morrison's political re
flexes were in good order
as he sensed it was time
to look at the record
childhood, that is. He
learned to read by a coal
oil lamp. This is akin to
being born in a log cab
in or throwing a silver
dollar across the Platte
River.
After a few more chal
lenges, the audience was
treated to another, short
er joke (relative
ly speaking). That was to
clear the air to get ready
for the highlight of the
speech. Are you ready
Nebraskans?
Morrison is in favor of
the Land Grant Act!
Courageons fore
sight. This is Federal aid
to education. We wouldn't
have any university with
out it. So what's wrong
with Federal aid? Morri
son has squarely avoided
the issue. Don't anyone

Grant Act is a very dif
ferent thing than Ken
nedy's federal aid of di
rect payments for school
construction, teachers
salaries, and equipment.
This would mess up logi
cian Morrison's case.
The governor might ac
cuse one of injecting is
sues into the campaign
which is bad politics in
anybody's language.
Morrison refuted all
' charges of Kennedy influ
ence by saying JFK has
better things to do.
Another highlight is
Morrison's statistic on
highway building. We're
not really 49th in Inter
state construction we're
7th! Seventh in the per
centage of our Interstate
program funds which
have been allocated, that
is. This statistic is not on
ly meaningless, but mis
leading. According to the
U.S. Bureau of Roads,
Nebraska has been build
ing Interstate at the rate
of 12 miles a year which
will have to be tripled to
42 miles a year to com
plete the project by 1972.
The day of Morrison's
folksy humor and back
slapping, is fading. Fred
Seaton will make a re
freshing change in our
statehouse next Novem
ber 6th.

Troops Needed
In Other States
To the Editor:
I am writing in regard
to the column that ap
peared Monday, Oct. 1,
("Looking Up" by Frank
Landis) expressing the
opinion or viewpoint of
the United State's pres
ent world position. In re
turn I would like to ex
press mine.
First of all I would like
to say this: Why
shouldn't the United
States worry about the
present situation on "Civ
il Rights" more than the
situation in Cuba? One
reason I think that they
should is because there
should not be any prob
lem like this existing in
America at all. I am not
just speaking from the
viewpoint of a member of
a minority race but also
as a Human Being.
Sure we should be con
c e r n e d about Cuba's
build-up of arms but first
we should be concerned
about things within our
own boundaries.
I say that because of
individuals like the au
thor the present situation
in the South still exists.
How can the United
States truthfully say that
this is the land of liberty
and freedom, when indivi
duals of major races (on
the world scale) are be
ing deprived of their
rights promised to them
in the Constitution of the
United States of America.

"Perhaps our troops
belong in Cuba instead of
Mississippi." I say they
do not. If it takes troops
to insure individuala their
constitutional rights than
for God sakes why not.
I feel that troops be
long in more states than
Mississippi if it will as
sure individuals their
constitutional rights.
If the presidents in the
past had brought segre
gation to a halt, Kennedy
would not have been
faced with the decision of
sending troops to Missis
sippi. Personally, I think
he made the decision
