Editorial comments as the 1971 Kansas Legislature opens. Topeka Capital argues against debt for highways, praising pay-as-you-go funding and Kansas roads on I-70 and the Turnpike. Salina Journal notes merit in bond financing with anticipated federal funds.
The governor may again push bond financing for highways using gasoline tax receipts. Opposition targets state debt and rural-urban spending bias, though improving highways would benefit Kansas. Legislators face a tough choice on funding strategies with no superior alternative yet identified.
The piece notes rising welfare costs and state actions as revenues tighten. New York cuts off a mother of five for denying doorstep access, New Jersey surveys welfare recipients, and Nevada reports 22 percent cheating findings. Governors argue privacy rights while taxpayers demand assurance funds are used properly.
A reader asks if leaving a diaphragm in for 72 hours could prevent conception. Dr Thosteson explains the eight hour removal window with spermicidal jelly, notes 90 to 97 percent effectiveness when used correctly, and confirms it is safe to leave in longer if desired. Other letters cover body donation, gynecological dilation after cancer treatment, and menopause in both married and unmarried women.
Kansas editors assess the Topeka session as lawmakers return after inactivity. Editorials from Chanute Hutchinson Dorado Emporia and others argue Docking’s third term, GOP prospects, budget strains, and calls for reform in government size and spending amid fiscal pressures and political discord.
One in four Catholic priests considers quitting due to emotional stress, vs one in eight Protestant ministers. Notre Dame sociologist Dr. John P. Koval analyzed data from 1500 Catholic priests and 5000 Protestant ministers across 21 denominations. Findings show Catholics face higher stress and more multiple stresses, driven by conflicts with superiors loneliness lack of support and issues on church stands. Protestants cite job factors like pay futility rather than personal distress, yet faith remains intact. Younger clergy under 45 show more dissatisfaction, while a separate survey urges strong theology and active engagement with youth and family counseling as key priestly traits.
