Tuesday, April 27, 1982 Daily Nebraskan Page 7 Burrows . . . Continued from Page 6 Burrows said the gover nor should set reasonable tax rates to pay the state's bills. Thone has made tax es an issue, Burrows said, but he added that Nebras kans would place responsi ble government over a mi nor tax change. 'The current tax rate still allows the injustice of the Reagan tax cut which only benefits the wealthy," Burrows said. "Both Repub licans and Democrats are unhappy with high interest rates, high unemployment and the disastrous farm poli cy of the Reagan admini stration." Burrows said Thone con tinues to support Reagan's policies. Although the presi dent is personally popular, it is correct to criticize his economic policies, Burrows said. "By this fall, even more people will move away from the president's policies," Burrows said. "Agriculture is the major industry of the state and the price structure must be brought to parity to get Nebraska's economy going again." Burrows said his primary criticisms of Thone are the governor's unwillingness to adjust tax rates, and his con tinued endorsement of Rea gan's economic policies. The Reagan administration dere gulation of natural monopo lies such as telephone com panies, natural gas compan ies and the railroads is mov ing the country about a cen tury backward in federal re sponsibility, Burrows said. There are strong differ ences between Bob Kerrey and Bill Burrows for the De mocratic gubernatorial nom ination, Burrows said. He said Kerrey is against raising the state corporate tax and against a progressive income tax on people making more than $40 ,000 a year. "I consider Kerrey's stand to be more of the same trickle-down theory that we are getting from Washington, D.C.," Burrows said. "Kerrey also has en dorsed President Reagan's New Federalism." Adequate funding for the New Federalism is a myth. It is really an abandonment of federal support of educa tion and other necessary programs," Burrows said. Kerrey's stands give him access to the largest source of funds in the campaign, Burrows said. He said the Kerrey campaign has boast ed of raising between $400,000 and $600,000. "Those funds are from predominately corporate in terests. IH never achieve equal funds because my stands on the issues worry the corporate groups in the state," Burrows said. "I Burrows said he was re elected to his state senate seat in 1978, despite being out spent 13-1. He said trust and honest talk about issues can defeat large sums of mo ney. "My support comes from farmers and working people because economic issues are the center of the Democra tic Party," Burrows said. 'The populist and moder ates have always taken the lead on social concerns for the less advantaged." The current tax system shifts more money to the wealthy by keeping farmers and working people angry at social programs instead of at regressive tax system, he said. q)fo .rLfL fin rainn mrnio,iroio EJ Uiyjir lillUJJliLlliLILnJlJU I11E1 Here are answers to some common questions about usee! books. Q. How does the University Bookstore determine how much my books are worth when I sell them back? A. If the bookstore has notification from the instructor that the book is to be re-adopted for the next semester, and if the bookstore does not already have a sufficient stock on hand, then the student will be offered 60 of the publisher's current list price. For instance, a book which currently sells for $10.00 new, and which meets the requirements noted above would be worth $6.00. It would be re sold the next semester for $7.50. If the bookstore has not received notice that the book will be used again, or if it already has a sufficient stock, the book would be worth the current wholesale price as indicated by one of the na tion's largest jobbers of used textbooks. The buyer will be happy to answer any questions which you may have regarding the price paid. Q. Is sixty percent the usual price paid for textbooks around the coun try? A. Definitely not! Most stores in the United States pay only 50 percent for books being used again. The University Bookstore is one of only a very few which pay 60 percent. And remember we pay cash. Q. What about paperbacks? Does the same policy apply to them? A. Yes. The University Bookstore does not penalize you on text paper backs. If they are being used again, and if the bookstore needs them, they are still worth 60 percent of the publisher's current list price. The only exception is English paperbacks which are bought at wholesale prices. Q. If the publisher's price has gone up since I bought my books, will I receive the benefit of that prices increase? A. Yes. For instance, if you bought your book for $9.00, and the pub lisher's list price is now $10.00, you will get $6.00, not $5.40. Remember, Bring Us Your Books During Final Week.
