They say It would Involve complicated recordkeeping. The companies' other defense is a 1967 U.S. Supreme Court ruling which held that a Missouri company didn't have to turn over Illinois customer records or remit tax to Illinois because the company didn't have sufficient business presence in Illinois. Nebraska Is supporting the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations efforts to get legislation at the federal level, Including a proposal for a single rate federal tax on all out-of-state mail-order sales. State Sen.

Elroy Hefner of Coleridge introduced a bill in the last session of the Legislature that would have required out-of-state merchants to provide the names and addresses of Nebraska purchasers so a tax could be Imposed. The bill, LB552, was passed on the minimum of 25 votes, but Gov. Bob Kerrey vetoed the measure, calling it impossible to enforce without some federal regulations, Ms. Karnes In his veto statement, the governor praised Hefner's efforts but said state officials would be dogged by administrative and constitutional problems with the bill. Hefner is continuing to work closely with the Legislature's Revenue Committee and the Nebraska Department of Revenue staff to join In national efforts to get some enforceable legislation.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) State officials are looking into ways to capture the estimated millions of dollars of revenue lost when Nebraskans take advantage of the convenience of mail-order buying. State Tax Commissioner Donna Karnes said that in Nebraska and the 44 other states which have sales taxes, customers are required to use tax in the same amount as the sales tax on puchases made out of state. Only a handful of Nebraskans or others throughout the country actually comply. Most don't know they should, Ms.

Karnes said. Stores like Sears, Montgomery-Ward and J.C. Penney, which have a mall-order business in addition to their numerous local stores, routinely collect the sales tax. "I was shocked recently when someone asked me how to remit use tax on a mail-order purchase Most people Just don't realize they're supposed to pay," Ms. Karnes said.

"This Is an area in which it is difficult to keep records. There's a temptation not to pay it when it's difficult to audit," she said. The law across the country is virtually impossible to enforce with no way to track the mail-order purchases. States want catalog companies to collect the tax like any other retail merchant and refund the money to the respective states. Mail-order companies don't want to perform this extra Smoke JL Sirens Accidents Jefferson County 10:55 a.m.

Deaths Funerals Large'crowds at state parks Officials at Nebraska state parks and recreation areas reported sizable crowds and few problems on a steamy Fourth of July. A spot check Indicated attendance Thursday was up from last year at some parks. Gusty winds discouraged boaters from using lakes in some areas, but officials said they were pleased with the holiday turnout.

Skies were clear to partly cloudy across the state on July Fourth. High temperatures ranged from 97 at Beatrice to 81 in O'Neill. Mark Stange, an employee at Two Rivers State Park near Venice, said about 5,000 people spent the holiday in the park. He said the crowd was "quiet" and no problems were reported. At Ponca State Park near Ponca, exact attendance figures weren't available.

But one officials said he thought there were twice as many people in the park as last Fourth of July. Chadron State Park reported 121 campers and 75 cabin guests as of late Thursday afternoon. A spokeswoman satd nearby range and forest fires caused a few campers to )eave the area, but said the park was far enough away frqin the fires to be out of danger. Funerals Vince Rotherham, park superintendent at Fort Robinson State Park near Crawford, said a "good crowd" of about 7,500 people entered the park Thursday. He said attendance was better than last year.

Rotherham said the nearby fires had caused few problems for park visitors. He said the park was shorthanded because many employees were helping to fight blazes southwest of Chadron. Attendance was reported to be down from last year at Johnson Lake near Elwood and Lake Maloney in North Platte. "Things may be down a bit due to the Fourth being in the middle of the week," said Rod Schimmer, park superintendent at Lake Maloney. Attendance was up at Lake McConaughy, where superintendent Jack Johnson estimated 14,000 people would visit during the holiday.

At Platte River State Park, near Louisville, the "usual parking problems" caused by large crowds were the only distractions for visitors, security officer Pete Duryea said. Duryea said 1,229 cars had entered the park by early Thursday evening. Death Ruth Boyer Ruth Boyer, 58, 909 North Seventh Nebraska City, died Saturday, June 29, 1985 in an Omaha hospital.
