Legislature Struggles to Close 3 Million Revenue Gap
Kansas lawmakers ended a 13 day special session with about 20 million in new revenue but face a $3 million shortfall for fiscal year 1960. Budget Director James Bibb cautioned the regular 1959 session must find the gap caused by failed oil and gas severance tax reenactment. Debate showed strong opposition to a severance tax amid exemptions, while Democrats and Gov Docking called for reenactment. The House rejected Senate amendments, ending the session with a plan to adjourn sine die and a skeleton crew to wrap up.

Docking vetoes bill on State Finance Council meetings
Gov. George Docking vetoed a bill requiring the State Finance Council to meet at least every three months, calling it an unwarranted executive encroachment. He said the council meets on the governor's call and indicated he would sign other bills, except a higher income tax measure. He noted a $1,151,644 general fund request to restore Waters Hall at Kansas State College, vetoed in 1958 for funding from the general fund. He suggested using the educational building fund instead and dismissed calls for restoring a one percent severance tax on oil and gas.
