Senate Holds Off On Taxes
In Topeka the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee moved to study for 1972 two tax-raising measures and reported two others unfavorably. It carried over a 2 percent severance tax on natural gas and a 10 percent tax on tobacco products other than cigarettes, while opposing bills to eliminate federal income tax deductions for certain entities. The panel urged debate on the gas severance tax and tobacco tax but anticipated these measures failing on the Senate floor.

The Kansas House passed a joint resolution by 66 to 58 to freeze pay for all state employees to end of the 1972 fiscal year. The measure heads to the Senate and could become law if signed or allowed by the governor. Speakers framed it as a response to revenue concerns amid a tax debate, while critics called it an attack on duties and oath.

Kansas moves to legalize bingo under new bill
TOPEKA AP A bill to legalize bingo and similar games cleared a conference report 65 to 55 in the House after Senate approval 31 to 8. The measure bars calcutta pools, allows non profit groups such as country clubs religious and charitable organizations to sponsor games, and seeks a constitutional amendment to exempt club and church bingo from lottery prohibitions. Some doubt its legality, though supporters say it will withstand a court test.
