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.

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such information every five years, the latest report covering the period ended June 30, 1962:, is considerably out-of-date.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 …

Nebraska County and City Population Estimates for 1965 (Edward L. Hauswald)

Nebraska's population is estimated to have been 1,498,733 at the end of 1965. This represents an increase of 0.9 percent for the year as compared with an increase of 0.4 in 1964. In the five years since 1960, the state's population rose by about 6 percent. (A Census Bureau estimate places Nebraska's mid-year 1965 population at 1,477,000 of 0.4 percent above that at mid-year 1964 and 4.7 percent above that of April, 1960). Our county estimates appear in Table I, page 4; their pattern of change is shown in …

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 …

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 …

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.

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.

Pattern of Growth in Nebraska (E. S. Wallace)

Within the past year we have published Nebraska data on personal income (March), population (April), retail trade (May), the service business (June), wholesale trade (July), and employment (September). In each of these except the last, city and/or county figures have been presented to depict the changes that have been taking place in different parts of the state. The present article is an attempt to combine these six indicators of economic activity into a composite picture showing the pattern of growth within Nebraska.

County and City Population Estimates for 1964 (E. S. Wallace and E. L. Hauswald)

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. Our figures also appears to be in line with the …

Personal Income in Nebraska (E. S. Wallace)

In his new bulletin on "Personal Income in Nebraska and Nebraska Counties: 1950-1962," announced elsewhere in this issue, Professor Wallace Peterson says: "Income has come to be regarded as the best and most comprehensive single measure of the general level of economic activity and well-being for a nation, for a state, and for regions." This article will attempt a brief analysis of the relative "well-being" of the state of Nebraska in terms of this concept, covering a somewhat longer period of time that that included in Professor Peterson's study and making use of …

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 …
