Treatment of Visitors Sparks Nebraska Park Fines Debate
The State Game Commission faces criticism over on the spot fines for out of state visitors in state parks. Tickets were issued to a Coloradan for a child without a life jacket in a boat and another for lacking a bailing bucket.

15 Percent Income Tax Level Proposed for Nebraska
A Tax Study Committee member urged the State Equalization Board to set the first Nebraska personal income tax rate at 15 percent to cover a looming budget shortfall. Sen. Terry Carpenter said the rate is a safe starting point with potential future adjustments. The measure, tied to a 20 percent corporate levy, must be fixed by Nov. 15 for 1968 taxes, with the law facing Supreme Court scrutiny after a Lancaster County court ruled it valid.
