SURPLUS RISES TO 21 MILLION FOR NEBRASKA
IMiXSTS 1,0 WENT TAX LEVY: HAS .NO SALES OK INCOME LEVY. By Robert Kelly U. P. Staff Correspondent LINCOLN, Neb. tUP>—Debtless Nebraska offers an example of thrift to the nation. The State closed books at the end rf the fiscal year with $21,621,930 in cash and gilt-edged investments an increase of $893,373 over the previous year. The increase in the cash aceount was more than $1,000,000. Treasurer George Hall attributed this showing to better collections of taxes, particularly among farmers who have been benefitting from a rising market. Facts already widely known about Nebraska's state government are: No bonded indebtedness or any other kind of indebtedness. No income tax and no general sales j tax. There is a 5 cent gasoline tax. The lowest tax levy for state purposes in America. Lower general property taxes for all purposes, state, county, city and schoc Is, than neighboring states
that have many of the newer forms of taxes. A new Capitol, built at a cost of $10,000,000 and paid for when completed. The fourth largest state university in point of enrollment. Better tax collections, coupled with reduced appropriations by the last legislature, enabled Nebraska to increase its cash balance during the past year. Reason for the state's debtless status is its constitution which limits the amount of bonded indebtedness to $100,000. Taxpayers' leagues, newspapers, farm organizations and other groups successfully have resisted attempts to introduce a general sales tax or an income tax. The result is that both major parties are committed to a policy of "no new taxes.’’ The only alternative is rigid economy. The appropriation for maintenance of Gov. R. L. Cochran’s office is a little more than half of that set aside by the Kansas legislature for Gov. Alf M. Landon’s staff. Nebraska’s state institutions are not supported as well as those of neighboring states. Certain it is that when the unicameral legislature, a Nebraska innovation in government, convenes in January, 1937, there will be movement to boost appropriations for the state university with an enrollment of more than 10.000.
