Topeka Republicans back tax relief and flood safeguards platform
Kansas Republicans endorsed a 1953 legislative agenda urging tax abatement for properties damaged in the 1951 flood and a defensive flood control program. The 24 page platform urged smaller retention dams, river watershed work, and opposed a Missouri Valley Authority style mega dam. It favored dry dams and opposed new state taxes while backing a statewide hospital levy via a constitutional amendment and extending the gasoline tax. Additional planks covered education, civil rights, grain laws, livestock disease control, veterans matters, and child welfare without expanding taxes.
