Benson to speak on daily situation in Topeka
Gov. Fred Hall addressed the Kansas Legislature with highlights of his message. He called for five to six million dollars in state aid to high schools in the next fiscal year but warned the program could not be extended without additional revenue. He urged reexamination of the tax system and proposed a central state agency to coordinate land and water programs. He directed attention to Legislative Council labor relations proposals and offered no specific recommendations on a right to work law.
