A Western Kansas county attorney proposes an area jail serving several counties to cut costs, suggesting shared operation over multiple jails. The editorial argues jails are costly to run and a regional facility could save taxpayers, noting the region’s deplorable conditions. The piece contrasts this with Vietnam war casualty figures and costs, urging consideration of efficiency over tradition.

Social Security Mushrooms
The Social Security system has grown into a massive, tax funded umbrella covering over 90 percent of workers and the elderly. Congress boosted benefits by 10 percent and raised the payroll tax, with changes phased in from 1971 through 1987, while debating future automatic increases and widows retirement rules. The system now funds health care via Medicare and has a trust fund investment plan, with debates over the unified budget and the true measure of government impact.
