Governor-elect Jonathan M. Davis, in his Kansas legislature message, calls for repeal of the Industrial Court, tax reductions, elimination of many boards, abolition of the State Highway Commission, local control of highway construction, home rule for cities over utilities, plus a conciliation board with broad advisory powers.
