Kansas lawmakers mull gas tax enforcement and farm product marketing
Topeka January discussions by the taxation and agricultural committees consider strengthening gas tax enforcement and study a state wide marketing law for farm products. Sen. John H. Lehman heads the tax panel, which seeks a field study on war tax evasion and a rapid report to the Legislative Council. Officials cited refund delays and praised Colorado’s marketing law as a model for Kansas, with support from USDA experts on grading standards and market access. The panel also flagged potential upgrades at state facilities including Fort Dodge soldiers home and Ellsworth’s Mother Bickerdyke annex, and planned inspections of Topeka Industrial School, Atchison Orphans’ Home, Lansing penitentiary, and Hillcrest TB receiving home.
