To File Mandamus Suit For Klan Charter In Kansas
State Senator G Clay Baker of Topeka, attorney for the Ku Klux Klan in Kansas, said he will file a mandamus suit in the state supreme court to compel the state charter board to grant the Klan a charter. The board had denied the charter unanimously weeks earlier, following the supreme court's ouster of the organization. The action aims to clear records for a later appeal to the United States Supreme Court.

Opposition to Rate Hikes Hinders Rail Commission Action
Kansas City August 20 Representatives from two state public service commissions met with agricultural and shipping interests to discuss rail freight-rate increases in the Western district. The commissions, as judges in separate state cases, refused active advocacy to avoid injunctions that could bar their participation. Economists warn the trend toward government ownership unless traffic diversion is checked, as billions in rights of way spur unregulated competition and higher transportation costs. Livestock groups say railroads are generally prosperous and rate hikes are unnecessary, while farm bureaus urge an equity investigation of agricultural rates versus other goods.

Abolition of State Tax Commission Criticized in Talk
University economist Prof Jens P Jensen told a Kiwanis club audience that Kansas suffers from removing the state tax commission as the intangible property tax law changes take effect. He blamed the abolition for weak supervision and poor reach of the new tax, noting other states with active commissions achieve better re assessments and public education. He praised last session’s reforms in the tax code and warned a federal sales tax could raise Kansans’ tax burden compared to the income tax system.
