Kansas Editor Defends Landon on School Funding and Closures
William Allen White, famed Emporia Gazette editor, weighs in on Kansas schools during the Landon era. He notes consolidations and dust bowl migration explain closures, not finances, and cites only three of 8,607 districts closed for financial reasons in 1935-36, with nine pupils affected. He praises Landon’s cash basis budget law and the budget-with-teeth statute, arguing taxes fund schools and that state aid for common schools remains absent.
