Defeated effort stalls general exhibit at Paris fair
The Kansas House failed to pass the general exhibit appropriation for Paris as lawmakers debated the bill amid a call of the house. Opponents narrowly blocked a constitutional majority while supporters of Senator Anderson's corn exhibit pushed a plan to show corn’s value to Europe. Proponents argue a $26,000 appropriation could boost Kansas corn prices and wealth by about $1.5 million annually.
