Gov. Norbert Tiemann met with members of the State Board of Equalization Wednesday morning which set the income tax rates at the current level of 10 per cent of the federal income tax for individuals and two per cent of taxable income for corporations. FIGURES released by State Department considers NV budget The Department of Ad- I ministrative Services (DAS) will finish consideration of the I total University's $101 million operational budget request within a week, according to Bob Rogers of ttie DAS. Rogers explained the DAS works with the Governor's office in considering budget requests from the state general fund by state agen cies. lie is the DAS officer assigned to the University's budget request, one of the largest facing the Legislature. ROGERS SAID there would be no public hearings on the University's request until the Recommendations to the Leg islature in January when it convenes. He declined comment on the various aspects of the budget and refused to acknowledge any cuts made from the University's original request. Tax Commissioner Murrell B. McNeil showed the state would collect more than $223 million in the next biennium with the tax rates at 10 and two and a half per cent. Tiemann plans to call the Legislature into a special session around Dec. 9 to keep the sales tax level at the cur rent two and a half per cent, instead of levelling off at two per cent , as scheduled for January under the provisions of the 1967 tax law. An expected excess of about $26 million from the current' biennium " gives " a total of nearly $370 million in pro jected available revenue during the upcoming bien nium beginning next June. THE $173 million discrepancy is arrived at by subtracting the projected available revenue total from the $543 million request sub mitted by state agencies which was released Wednesday. Tiemann said he would deliver to the Legialature a budget recommendation which could be financed on current rates. This would re quire him to pare nearly $173 million from the current re quests by state agencies. SHOULD THE -Legislature fail to grant Tiemann's re quest that the two and a half per cent sales tax rate be maintained, the projected available revenue total would require him to trim about $222 million to balance his budget recommendations. Tiemann said, he hoped to present a budget totaling nearly $330 million to the Legialature. The income tax rate, which the Eaualization Board is re quired to set each year before Nov. 15 as the levy tor tne following year, was established by Tiemann, Secretary of State Frank Marsh, State 'Auditor Ray C, F. Lee Bailey points out flaws in judicial system Continued from page 1 Assumption that the burden of proof is on the government. "There is no such thing as proof," he said. I Proof, he continued, is t something the truth of which I is not litagable, which would mean there would be no need i for a trial. I lie also said that the i government is not allowed to j talk over the case with the f defendant and instead must j draw it's entire case from ,' other, secondary, sources. Guilt must be proven "beyond a reasonable doubt." But, he said, there ha're been i set down no guidelines as to what a "reasonable doubt" is. He also hit upon the tendency of the U.S. to punish instead of rehabilitate. ' Killers, he said, are the most rehabilitate of ail criminals, with the exception of pro fessional killers. But these i criminals bear the brunt of the penal Institutions, i "We haven't attempted to i take a murderer apart yet," , he said, pointing to Albert de i Salve the "Boston Strangler" and Richard Speck. "We are too busy either letting them rot in jail or burning them and burying them." HE PREDICTED a ''brighter day" when poten tial Specks and De Salvos could be taken off the streets and helped before an outward manisfestation of thcirproblems. "You must face the fact that my profession is one of the most reactionary in the world," he warned. "When we train a lawyer, we perform a frontal lobotomy and remove his imagination." Lawyers, he said, do too many things simply because they've been done before. HE WARNED against a tendency in this . country toward closed courts and closed hearings. "The first amendment is what keeps your country free." At a later press conference he deplored the closed-door hearing being held in" Grand Island m a murder case. To a resounding ovation at the end of his talk, Bailey said, "Most of the country is assured that the Supreme Court is responsible for a ris ing crime rate. I assure you nothing of the kind is true."

Agencies double fund requests State agencies are re questing more than twice as much in state funds for the next biennium than they received in appropriations for the current two year period. This announcement was made Thursday by the Department of Administrative Services, an executive branch of the state government. The total of all general fund re quests is $543,889,906. The appropriation from the state general fund authorized by the 1967 Legialature for the curent biennium was $258,570,235. THE STATE Department of Education is making the largest request which comes to over $144 million dollars. The University Regents approved a budget request last month asking for over $101 million from the general fund. This covers operating expenses of the University. Also included in the general fund total is a sum of $69,116,867 for capital con struction. Some $24 million of that request is being sought by the University for capital improvements. INCLUDED in the University's request are pro grams originally proposed for the current biennium w-hich were never Implemented due to lack of appropriations. Several statehouse officials have commented that the capital construction fund is a "soft-spot" in the University budget request. The capital construction request is not a part of the $101 million con t i n u a t i o n budget the University is seeking from the Legislature. Aii 'Italian Straw Hat' and 'Meat' ...
