Ottawa Herald notes an Hays editorial criticizing that despite 128 million dollars in gasoline taxes and related revenue, Northwest Kansas would receive only 1.8 million for new highway construction. The piece argues the tax is diverted by Topeka through collection costs and opaque distribution formulas, leaving less than a third for road work.
The piece discusses revenue shrinkage prompting two reform ideas for Kansas roads. One is a bond issue to fund new roads, opposed by rural legislators from Northwest Kansas. The other is altering county maintenance funding formulas to cut rural road miles, arguing most counties could reduce miles with minimal disruption and save tax dollars, potentially advancing the highway system into the late 20th century.
A Missouri based TV ad campaign uses a line disavowing applicability to Kansas residents, citing the Kansas Securities and Exchange Commission. The piece notes operators behind the property deals lack registration with the Kansas agency and questions when similar protections might extend to other products.
Dear Dr Thosteson, our son, 18, craves salt at all times, on meals and between meals, even eating salt from his palm. Can this be harmful? We thought he would grow out of it. The issue is usually a habit, similar to habit of using ketchup.
A reader asks about salt cravings and potential health risks from high salt intake, noting later dangers like high blood pressure. A letter to Dr Thosteson requests guidance on leg cramps and quinine use, and another discusses LSD, pregnancy loss, and the uncertainty of drug effects on a fetus. The column closes with lupus misperceptions and a prayer.
