Higher Taxes Unavoidable Babcock Says
Senator Ray Babcock told a Chamber of Commerce meeting that Nebraska must raise more money through taxes. He cited about seventy proposed tax bills, urged a three cent cigarette tax, better assessment, possible state income tax, and a reshuffled old age assistance system. He warned against delaying reform, noted two billion dollars of property escaping assessment, and said wheat taxation underreports, asserting taxes must be fair to most citizens.
