The Property Tax In The 1980s And Prospects For The 1990s, Roy W. Bahl, David Sjoquist, Loren Williams Jan 1990

The Property Tax In The 1980s And Prospects For The 1990s, Roy W. Bahl, David Sjoquist, Loren Williams

ECON Publications

In the late seventies, the secular decline in reliance on property taxation was expected to continue through this decade. However, the decline of the property tax has slowed, perhaps even halted. Reasons for this are examined and it is found that changes in the growth and allocation of fiscal responsibility did affect the property tax as anticipated, but that other trends did not continue. The implications of federal income tax reform for the property tax is also examined. Although property taxation has become a more expensive way to fund local expenditures, other factors, especially the relative price increase of sales …

Centennial On The Northen Plains: An Introduction, George Mcgovern Jan 1990

Centennial On The Northen Plains: An Introduction, George Mcgovern

Great Plains Quarterly

Although I am now sixty-eight years old, I have thought of myself during the past half century since my eighteenth birthday as a young man. Perhaps that is partly because I have been blessed with good health and personal vigor, but it may also be because I was born and reared in a young State. South Dakota was only thirtytwo years old when I first came on the scene at Avon in 1922. My father, a pioneer Dakota clergyman, whom I always thought of as an old man, was born in 1868--twenty-one years before South Dakota achieved statehood. He knew …


Review Of Women With Vision: The Presentation Sisters Of South Dakota, 1880-1985, Sandra Schackel Jan 1990

Review Of Women With Vision: The Presentation Sisters Of South Dakota, 1880-1985, Sandra Schackel

Great Plains Quarterly

In the mid-eighteenth century, a young Irish woman, Nano Nagle, renounced her wealthy upper-class background and dedicated herself to ministering to the poor. Her belief in "women's potential as nurturers and ethical models for children" prompted her to establish several schools for needy boys and girls as well as to minister to the sick. After Nagle's death, the order she founded in 1776 became known as the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and as part of a growing movement among Catholics in America in the ineteenth century, the Presentation sisters expanded their outreach to the American …


"Proving Up And Moving Up": Jewish Homesteading Activity In North Dakota, 1900-1920, Janet E. Schulte Jan 1990

"Proving Up And Moving Up": Jewish Homesteading Activity In North Dakota, 1900-1920, Janet E. Schulte

Great Plains Quarterly

In the spring of 1908, Morris Zemsky, a Russian- Jewish immigrant homesteading in Ashley, North Dakota, sent a letter to the Industrial Removal Office (IRO) of the Baron de Hirsch Fund in New York. Joseph Kaminer, Secretary of the Ashley Farmer's Bureau, wrote the note for Zemsky, who spoke only Yiddish. The letter requested advice on the condition of Zemsky's parents "who are now in New York and are actually starving to death. As they are several in the family and no one of them can find work."1 Zemsky requested the IRO to send his parents to his North …


The Segesser Hide Paintings: History, Discovery, Art, Thomas E. Chávez Jan 1990

The Segesser Hide Paintings: History, Discovery, Art, Thomas E. Chávez

Great Plains Quarterly

T here is no doubt that the Segesser hide paintings are among the most novel and important artifacts of the Spanish Colonial history of New Mexico. As aesthetic works they are striking and as hide paintings they are unique. As historical documents they have already sparked revisions in historical interpretation of the period, providing valuable information on significant factors such as modes of warfare, uniforms and clothing, and the war panoply of the Plains Indians. As artifacts, they are among the most valuable acquisitions made by the Museum of New Mexico. Most important, their presence in the Palace of the …


The Hispanic Presence On The Great Plains: An Introduction, Miguel A. Carranza Jan 1990

The Hispanic Presence On The Great Plains: An Introduction, Miguel A. Carranza

Great Plains Quarterly

In April 1989, the Center for Great Plains Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln sponsored its thirteenth annual symposium on the topic "The Hispanic Presence on the Great Plains." Scholars from across the United States and Mexico presented papers on a wide variety of topics covering the history, culture, politics, and images of people of Spanish origin on the Great Plains. These presentations focused on the Hispanic presence from the early Spanish explorers who entered the southern fringes of the Great Plains, to the vast migrations of Mexicans coming to "EI Norte" beginning in the early 1900s, to the creation …


Review Of Tejanas And The Numbers Game: A Socia-Historical Interpretation From The Federal Censuses, 1850-1900., Camilo A. Martínez Jan 1990

Review Of Tejanas And The Numbers Game: A Socia-Historical Interpretation From The Federal Censuses, 1850-1900., Camilo A. Martínez

Great Plains Quarterly

Prior to this work did we have a well-balanced portrayal of the Tejano (Mexican American) who resided in the South, Central, and West Texas counties during the last half of the nineteenth century? Evidently not.


Review Of The Good Red Road: Passages Into Native America., Raymond J. Demallie Jan 1990

Review Of The Good Red Road: Passages Into Native America., Raymond J. Demallie

Great Plains Quarterly

In John G. Neihardt's Black Elk Speaks, the red road represents the path of life, of peace, and of the continuity of the generations. To many American Indians today it stands for the old, traditional ways, a state of being in harmony with the universe. In this book, the symbol of the red road has been generalized to embrace all humanity, a deeply-felt psychological sense of oneness and balance that serves as counterpoint to the frenetic lifestyle of modem America.


Review Of Historical Atlas Of Texas., Frederick C. Luebke Jan 1990

Review Of Historical Atlas Of Texas., Frederick C. Luebke

Great Plains Quarterly

This volume, the latest in a well-known series published by the University of Oklahoma Press, offers sixty-four topics relating to the history and geography of Texas with accompanying maps. The first six topics outline basic geographic characteristics-location, topography, physio-graphical regions, rainfall, and native plant life. Then follow two dozen maps that treat topics antedating the annexation of Texas by the United States in 1845. They include the route followed by various explorers from Cabeza de Vaca in the sixteenth century to the James Long expeditions of 1819-22, as well as several topics relating to the Republic of Texas, 1836. The …


Review Of The Shortgrass Prairie, James H. Locklear Jan 1990

Review Of The Shortgrass Prairie, James H. Locklear

Great Plains Quarterly

Perhaps the most poorly known and least appreciated ecosystem in all of the U.S. is the shortgrass prairie. It is not as though this vegetation type only occurs in a limited area of the country. Shortgrass prairie dominates the landscape of an enormous region stretching from Canada to New Mexico. Why is there so little understanding of this expansive grassland? Perhaps it is because few people have bothered to write about it. Ruth Cushman and Stephen Jones took on this task and we may be thankful to have their book, The Shortgrass Prairie.


Review Of Region And Regionalism In The United States: A Source Book For The Humanities And Social Sciences, Frederick C. Luebke Jan 1990

Review Of Region And Regionalism In The United States: A Source Book For The Humanities And Social Sciences, Frederick C. Luebke

Great Plains Quarterly

This multidisciplinary bibliography with annotations offers a judicious sampling of the best published work on American regions and regionalism. It is so useful that most scholars seriously working in regionalism will want to benefit from the authors' wide-ranging yet measured assessments.


Review Of Cow Town Lawyers: Dodge City And Its Attorneys, 1878-1886, Craig Miner Jan 1990

Review Of Cow Town Lawyers: Dodge City And Its Attorneys, 1878-1886, Craig Miner

Great Plains Quarterly

Ironically the feature to which this book serves as a corrective is doubtless a major reason for its publication-the notoriety of the name Dodge City in the popular consciousness. Haywood points out in his last chapter, and adequately demonstrates in his text, that the Front Street reconstruction and the wild and wooly stories of the "Beautiful, Bibulous Babylon of the Frontier" that Easterners hear are not an adequate representation of the town even in its boisterous salad days. He also points out that Dodge was consciously cultivating its wild image as a means of economic development during its cattle town …


Review Of The Windmill Turning; Nursery Rhymes, Maxims, And Other Expressions Of Western Canadian Mennonites, Victor Peters Jan 1990

Review Of The Windmill Turning; Nursery Rhymes, Maxims, And Other Expressions Of Western Canadian Mennonites, Victor Peters

Great Plains Quarterly

Canada and the United States provide the home for two basic types of Mennonites who have little more than their beliefs in common. The older group settled mainly in the east and came to America directly from various German states. Their immigration began in 1683 and initiated the broader stream of German immigration. The other group were the West Prussian Mennonites who left their homes in Russia and came to Canada and the United States in the 1870s.


Review Of Wildflowers Of The Tallgrass Prairie: The Upper Midwest, Richard K. Sutton Jan 1990

Review Of Wildflowers Of The Tallgrass Prairie: The Upper Midwest, Richard K. Sutton

Great Plains Quarterly

Popularized books on wildflowers are not hard to find, though it seems the prairie has been nearly ignored. This is perhaps because there is less of that original biome left than any other and the particular comeliness of the individual wildflower is diluted by a matrix of grass. Runkel and Roosa have produced an excellent picture book, with readable text, in which they cover derivation of Latin names, ecological and botanical descriptions, and anecdotal information on plant use by Native Americans. Its interesting organization follows the bloom sequence of more than 130 dicots and monocots throughout the year, though the …
