Kansas Legislature Advances Education and Reform Bills
The Kansas Legislature moved to fund education with a $2 million appropriation for 1908 distributed to Agricultural College, State University, Experiment Station, and Normal Schools. Key measures include a pure food law, primary elections across parties, prison made goods labeling, and a plan to unify state education under one board of regents. The senate also passed a terminal facilities bill for border rail depots and a freight rate measure, while reporters from the Kansas City Star were barred from the senate floor.
