Kansas Free State group plans safety net for collapse
Enthusiastic Garden City gathering of Kansas Free State adherents foresees the federal and state governments going bankrupt within a few years. They describe a plan to restore the antebellum Constitution, carry photo IDs, and form a nonpartisan safety net without insurrection. A Saturday meeting at the Clarion Inn aired calls to return to a republic where people rule, not federal bureaucracies.

Kansas House backs health freedom measures in debate
A Kansas House committee chairwoman leads two health freedom proposals aiming to block major parts of the federal health care overhaul from taking effect in Kansas. One would amend the state constitution to bar mandatory health insurance, the other would enact a temporary protection until voters decide the constitutional change. Both backers expect passage in the chamber despite Senate doubts amid pending Supreme Court questions on the federal mandate.

Farmland prices rise in Kansas with crop boom
A Farmers National Co survey shows non irrigated central Kansas cropland averaging 3000 per acre, up 50 percent since June, while irrigated land rose 15 to 20 percent to about 3500 per acre. Corn and wheat prices have surged, boosting returns and attracting more buyers. Auctions now draw twice as many bidders as before, aided by stronger export demand and Fed policy. See Rise, Page A5.
