Compromise Looms In School Finance
In Topeka the House Education Committee after rejecting Gov. Carlin's plan resumes work on a compromise funding bill for next year. They debated budget growth limits for Kansas' 366 districts, rejected four plans, and adjourned without agreement. The panel agreed to include a teacher salary aid provision up to 3.2 million dollars, while resisting higher state aid. Democrats urged stronger budget controls and higher funding to attract and keep teachers, while Republicans called for funding restraints amid state financial strain.

Senate Democratic Leader Jack Steineger asked Kansas Attorney General Robert T. Stephan for a legal opinion on whether five severance tax bills before the Legislature are constitutional. He seeks guidance on whether royalty owners must be taxed along with producers and cautions the oil and gas industry may challenge any new tax, noting a 1957 defect that struck down the prior law. The Senate committee plans hearings next week on the bills.
