DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE

The document in which the
13 English colonies in Ameri-
ca asserted their independence
Of Great Britain through ac-
ton by the Continental Con-
gress, was written on July 4,
1776 - ITO years ago. The
instrument was drafted by
Thomas Jefferson, offered as
a resolution by Richard Henry
Lee of Virginia and signed by
SIS patriots. Since its writing
the code Of American govern
ment has followed its pattern
we hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit
Of Happiness.

TO CANCEL BOY SCOUT CAMP
UNLESS SUPERVISION IS PROVIDED

Boy Scouts of Troop 654 are
facing a problem of supervision
at their summer camp, it was an
nounced this week. Unless a so
luton can be found, the scouts
will be unable to attend camp
this year.
One Of the requirements for
camp attendance is that each
troop be accompanied by an
adult leader. Ideally, this would
be the Scoutmaster, but it is Of
ten difficult for Scoutmaster to
lose a weeks work while attend
ing camp, or he may not be able
to obtain leave from his work for
this period of time. The problem
then arises as to whom will &C
company the boys at camp.
Permission has been obtained
from the Scout Council to send a
troop to camp with rotating lead
ership. Under this system seven
adults would each agree to give
one day to supervision at camp.
Each adult would be in charge
from or 8 pm. Of one evening
until z or 8 pm. of the follow
ing evening.
"A meeting has been called for
next Wednesday, July s, the
Central School building to discuss
this problem. The meeting will
be held between 7:30 and $50
pm. to correspond with the scout
meeting time. All adults who are
interested in helping with the
problem are urged to attend. If
some provision cannot be made,
the boys will not be permitted

equal to 10 (but not over
$1,000 of the employees income.
The employer would be required
to pay the taxes withheld TO the
Commissioner of Revenue quar-
terly. Estimates of additional re-
venue the state would gain from
withholding have ranged as high
as So million per year. The bill
would require individuals who
anticipate taxable income other
than wages subject to withhold
ing, to file declarations of eSti-
mated income and state their in
come tax liability, and to make
periodic lin general, quarterly)
income tax payments. However.
the seasonal cash position of
farmers is recognized in a pro-
vision permitting them to file
declarations of tax liability after
the close of the tax year.
The other major revenue bill
Of the week was introduced in
the House, and would greatly
modify the retail sales tax law
tand the compensating use tax =.
This bill would reduce the sales
and use tax rate from 3 pet to 2
pct, remove the SIS tax limit on
a single article, and repeal most
of the exemptions now allowed
ton food, medicines, feed, ectD .
The ? pct tax would also apply
to mail and farm machinery and,
under a new definition, to almost
any personal property ''percep-
tible to the senses" Sales of pro-
ducts of farm, forest, mine, and
water made by the producers in
the original or unmanufactured
state would remain untaxed.
CRIMINALS AND THE COURTS
Public drunks who read Su-
preme Court opinions and who
have taunted officers with You
can't arrest me without war
rant" will be we'll advised to be
quiet, sober up. or do both. The
two houses have passed a bill
The Lincoln times., 1955-02-24

which permits officers to arrest
without warrant for misde-
meanors committed in their pre-
sence. In fact, an officer may ar
rest whenever he has reasonable
ground to believe that a misde-
meanor has been committed in
his presence. 1t was this latter
provision that stirred House
members to the longest debate of
the session. Advocates contended
that the reasonable grounds to
believe" provision was needed to
protect the officers and to re-
move from them the burden of
being insurers of conviction. OPP
ponents declared that this provi-
sion unduly infringed on the
rights of citizens. and that it de-
prived them of the right to re-
sist an unlawful arrest. (The
right to arrest for felonieS was
never challenged, and the law
on the point is unchangedD
When ratified, the bill becomes
law, and the legislature will have
Overruled cat the Courts own
suggestion the Supreme Court
decision that unless a misdemea-
nor amounted to a breach of the
peace. an officer must have
warrant for a valid arrest
The tables were turned in the
Senate on another criminal pro-
cedure bill. After a debate that
lasted even longer than the House
debate on the arrest bill, by a
vote of twenty-siX to twenty-five
the Senate defeated a bill pro-
posing a constitutional amend
ment to authorize the legislature
TO permit defendants in non
capital cases, when represented
by counsel, to waive jury trial.
