Continued from Page 2 Biologically important wildlife would be saved if natural lands were protected with easements, said Harrison, a UNL associate professor of life sciences. The act also has several tax incentives, according to Lancaster County Commis sioner Jan Gauger. Gauger, who asked Warner to introduce the bill on behalf of Lancaster County, said the Internal Revenue Service allows a tax deduction to individuals holding an ease ment on their property. The deduction varies with different property, she said. First issue published The UNL Center for Great Plains Stud ies has just published the first issue of Great Plains Quarterly. "The most important thing about this magazine is that it is interdisciplinary," said professor Frederick Luebke, editor. The Quarterly carries articles from a wide variety of regional subjects, ranging from literature and folklore to hard sciences such as geology and ecology. "The articles are not extremely tech nical," Luebke said. "Any educated, inter ested person can enjoy them." The magazine's primary purpose is to promote appreciation of the culture and environment of the Great Plains, which run from Canada to Texas, Luebke said. The winter 1981 issue contains an article featuring the authors John Neihardt and Mari Sandoz, and the Indian leader Crazy Horse. Also included are articles on plains people and area archeology. Editorial assistant and graphic designer for the magazine is Barbara Dunn Craig. Associate editors are Bran Blouet, Warren W. Caldwell, Francis Kaye and David Wishart. Additionally, the county would save tax dollars by granting an easement instead of purchasing the land. And by leaving the farm privately owned, the county still would receive property tax payments. The bill was heard in the Legislature's Agriculture and Environment Committee last Thursday. Because Warner could not attend the hearing, the committee took no action on the bill. Committee Chairman Sen. Loran Schmit said he thinks the bill is well in tended, but said there are some very serious problems with it. According to Schmit, individuals wish ing to preserve their property can do so without going through a governmental body. Easement provisions can be included in a land deed. He also said the act would cause prob lems for owners of property adjoining ease ment covered property. If a farmer had an easement on his farm and another farmer wanted to purchase it and build on it, he would be prohibited because of the ease ment. Schmit said the committee expressed mixed sentiment about the bill, but no members were strongly opposed. Plans for the bill started about a year ago, according to Gauger, with a county ecological advisory committee. Bagley, who chairs the committee, originated the easement plan after con sidering similar plans for other states, Gauger said. The committee forwarded the plan to Gauger, who began the bill-creation process. Accepted at i"''! FEB. 20, 21 A 22 Tickets $6.50, $7.50 all seats reserved.
