Cooperation Aids Session
TOPEKA (AP)—The Republican leaders of the Kansas Legislature closed down the 1973 regular session firmly convinced they had finally beaten Democratic Gov. Robert Docking's "divide and conquer" tactic of past sessions.
The leaders credited cooperation between the House and the Senate, which they said had been missing in recent years for over a decade. The program of tax relief, revised system for distributing school and penal reform, welfare reform, consumer protection and public services.
The bitterness of 1971 was gone when the two bodies adjourned for a 10-day recess after the governor's visit to the higher education and welfare budgets were slashed and the House was adjourned without warning, leaving the Senate no choice but to make its caste demolitions a permanent fixture.
The 12th-hour political rhetoric, which was trying to assess blame for what had happened in the past, has become a powerful tool.
The helter-skelter to finish up work also was done.
The 1973 session had cracked the nut Thursday when it reached agreement with Docking on major programs. The Senate passed a bill demanding that he bill be demanded. Despite the false starts and the occasional vindictiveness from both sides, the leadership had reached accommodation with Docking and delivered a bill that they and the governor could be proud of.
The legislature accomplished its feat, said Sen. Joseph Harder, R-Mountridge, because of the strong leadership of Mr. Harder and his colleagues Bennett and House Speaker Pete McGill.

Butchers' Plea
WASHINGTON - The nation's butchers are mounting a campaign to convince housewives they are not responsible for skyrocketing meat prices.

to the sound of WIZARDS from Kansas and the PENETRATIONS
Harder said the legislature's relations with Docking during the 1973 session had actually deteriorated to a degree. He said Docking's frustration over the cooperation achieved between the House and Senate was the reason.
Harder called the 1973 session one of the smoothest sessions he'd seen, even though he hadn't been on a flight.
Bennett said that he and McGill began building their relationship before this session and that early in the session each had misgivings about each other.
"We have worked most closely in an effort not only to put down past pattices between the House and the Senate, but to present to the state on your behalf positive programs and solutions," Bennett told the Senate.
