Nebraska's Agricultural Exports (Dorothy Switzer)

Importance of Nebraska as the 9th ranking state in the nation and 4th in the top-ranking region, the West North Central, in value of agricultural commodity shipments in fiscal 1965-66 has been revealed in a new study by the Economic Research Service of the I.S. Department of Agriculture. Because Nebraska is one of the ten leading states in farm exports in this country, which is in turn the world's largest exporter of such commodities, explicit world market information pertaining to the state has long been sought. The significance of such information is considerable both to …

The Distribution of Personal Income in Nebraska (Edward L. Hauswald)

Personal Income received in the Nebraska economy rose from $3.8 billion in 1965 to 4.1 billion in 1966, for a 7.0 percent increase (see Table I and Figure 1). In the National economy the increase was 8.2 percent; in the Plains economy, 7.5 percent. The results: (1) The upward movement of PI in Nebraska in 1965 from 1964, which had been greater than that in the Nation but slightly under that in the Plains, was not sustained; hence, Nebraska's share of both the National and Plain's PI flow dropped after …

Nebraska's Industrial Research and Information Service (James W. Monroe)

The Industrial Revolution has moved into the Era of Research, say many experts, as the industrialists of the world look for new products, new and more efficient ways of producing the goods which they have been producing, and other technical data necessary to make their companies more effective in today's highly competitive market. Technologies uncovered by this research are often the basis for the growth and expansion of existing industries and the establishment of new manufacturing plants and other industrial facilities.

An Inquiry Into The Possible Relationship Between The Success Of A Social Fraternity And Its Adherence To Business Management Practices And Principles, William Van Muse

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This research tested the hypothesis that the better managed are social fraternities, the more successful they will be. The stated purpose of the study was to provide information to answer the following questions: 1) To what extent are selected management practices and principles utilized by college social fraternities? 2) Is there any significant relationship between the adherence to these managerial principles and practices and the degree of success achieved by the fraternities studied? Research design. Success was measured in comparative terms—how well the fraternity being studied ranked when compared to the other groups with which it competed. Six criteria were …

Commercial Farm Law: The Uniform Commercial Code, Thomas B. Allington, Clayton K. Yeutter

Department of Agricultural Economics: Faculty Publications

Commercial law includes such topics as sales contracts, notes, checks, shipping and storage documents, and a variety of financing instruments. Over the years much of the law on these topics has become complex, confusing, and often obsolete. The Uniform Commercial Code, or U.C.C., is designed, first, to bring about uniformity in state laws governing commerce, and second, to clarify, simplify, and modernize these laws. The Code's success in this respect is shown by the fact that it has now been adopted by almost all states. It became effective in Nebraska on September 2, 1965. Drafting of the U.C.C. dates back …

Nebraska State and Local Tax Collections: 1965 (E. B. Schmidt)

Information concerning the amounts of tax revenue derived from the various taxes in Nebraska is in scant supply. No single agency is charged by law with responsibility for collecting and reporting such data, and without such central direction it is impossible to coordinate a system of comprehensive reporting. While the Bureau of the Census of the United States Department of Commerce collects and publishes such information every five years, the latest report covering the period ended June 30, 1962:, is considerably out-of-date. This study is intended to supply reasonably comprehensive …

Recent Income Growth in Nebraska (E. S. Wallace)

The latest official (preliminary) figures on Nebraska income published by the Department of Commerce show that total personal income in Nebraska increased by 9.4% in 1965 as compared with a national increased of 7.2% and that per capita personal income rose 9% in the state, but only 5.8% in the nation. Estimates published by Business Week indicate that his favorable relationship is continuing in 1966. They show, in fact, that only two states in the continental United States- Iowa and Vermont- exceeded in Nebraska's 11.3% increase in personal income during the first …

Growth of Nebraska Homegrown Industries (Dorothy Switzer)

Nebraska is still in need of some impetus to change its sluggish performance in the field of employment and to offset or absorb the continued exodus in agriculture, as was pointed out in an article on the state employment situation in the October issue of Business in Nebraska. In many Nebraska communities precisely this impetus has been given by the ingenuity and business acumen of men and women who have developed homegrown industries. The story of some of these industries was told in the February, 1966, issue and elicited much interest not only …

Homegrown Industries in Nebraska (Dorothy Switzer and E. S. Wallace)

In July, 1965, we reprinted from the Texas Business Review an article dealing with "Homegrown Industries" in that state. At that time we expressed the hope that we might find the ingenuity of Nebraskans was at least equal to that of Texans and asked for information on similar industries in Nebraska.

Nebraska State and Local Taxes in Perspective (E. B. Schmidt)

Last month we showed how overwhelmingly important the property tax is in the financing of state and local governments in Nebraska. If we are to see Nebraska's state and local finances in perspective, we may compare our state with all states with respect to the percentage of state and local tax revenue obtained from the various tax sources. Of even greater value would be a comparison with our neighbor states. Such is the purpose of this investigation.

Manufacturing in Nebraska (E. L. Hauswald)

This article is based on data from the last complete census of manufacturing taken in 1963. Developments subsequent to 1963 have been sufficient to modify the situation described herein. The efforts of the Nebraska Division of Resources have produced results not recorded in the 1963 census. Recent reactivation's of operations related to the national security and expansions of industries in several of the state's communities could not be incorporated in this analysis. The aggregate impact of these developments will not be ascertainable until the next census of manufacturing.

During 1964 Nebraska's total population grew by less than one-half of one percent to reach a year-end total of 1,498,375. The percentage increase is less than one-fourth of that achieved in each of the preceding three years since the 1960 census, but appears to be in line with the 1964 increases of 0.2% and 0.5% respectively in the state's civilian labor force and number or employed persons reported in January by the state Department of Labor.

Tax Consequences Of Profit-Sharing Plans For Small Businesses, Joseph Coats Mccracken

Anderson School of Management Theses & Dissertations

The number of Treasury-approved profit-sharing and pension plans has increased from less than two thousand in September, 1942, to over twenty-one thousand in September, 1953. Part of the explanation for this increase may be found in high tax rates which prevailed during World War II, and the tax advantages which accrued to business by setting up qualified deferred-benefit plans. Considerable material has been written on the subject in recent years covering not only the income tax advantages involved, but many other equally important business considerations. This material, however, almost without exception, has dealt with the subject from the standpoint of …
