Abolition of Agriculture Department Gaining Attention
In the state legislature a move to abolish the department of agriculture gains converts. A bill to end the department is expected after reconvening in December with support from Rep. Janus N. Strauss and Rep. Edger B. Righter. The budget allocates 75,075 dollars from state revenue and 52,000 dollars from collections for the department. The constitution lacks a department head requirement, yet the board of public works includes the agriculture commissioner. The economy group backs tax and finance committee action to seek economy measures before new taxes.
