Tax Free System To Small Owners Urged

The federation is sponsoring a $5000 homestead exemption amendment similar to the Florida amendment passed at the election last November. It aims to obtain 100,000 signatures to place the amendment on the ballot for Nebraska voters at the 1936 election. The proposed measure would exempt homes and farms residing on from all taxes up to $5000. value over $5000 would still receive a $5000 exemption. The federation, non political and non profit, says statewide sentiment favors the plan and expects broad support to protect small owners from tax losses due to economic conditions. The group believes 100,000 signatures will be reached within a year and that Nebraskans will vote for it by a large majority.
