"Entirely Disgustsd'

Lee Meadows, former editor of
The Chieftain but now of the Ober-
lin. kansas Times, is entirely dis
gusted with the way business is
carried on in his state Note the
following:
Personally the Times has reach
ed the point where it doesn't care
a rap who's responsible for the con
dition- Republican or Democrat
and we expect to point cut mis-
takes in our own ranks as though
they were in the ranks of the en-
emy. Some steps must be taken by
the next Governor OF Kansas to
abolish lot of the fool boards and
commissions that roam the state
and horn into the farmers business.
Some budget system must be doped
out that will provide for an econo-
my administration and not permit
the legislature to run hog wild in
the creation of new boards and
commissions. Some steps must be
taken to do away with members OF
the legislature who wish to grab
soft jobs that will afford them a
living between sessions at the tax
payers expense.
