A TRIBUTE TO A BOGUS BONANZA
Last August 29th a panel of Kansas business leaders presented Governor Carlin with its recommendations for developing high-technology industry in the state. Two weeks later a presumably enthusiastic Jamie Schwartz, Secretary of the Department of Economic Development, told the interim legislative Educational Planning Committee that Kansas needed a "high-tchczar" to coordinate industry, education and government. What is it about high-technology that our politicians find so compelling?
An article entitled "High-Tech' is No Jobs Panacea, Experts Say" in the September 18th issue of the New York Times examines the phenomena of high-technology and reaches some disquieting conclusions. According to William Serrin, the article's author, the experts consulted felt that the strategy being employed by many communities and regions of
working diligently to attract companies involved in high-technology. . . is unlikely to solve long-term economic problems. . . (because) Many more jobs will be lost to industrial layoffs than will be gained in the advanced technology fields in the coming years; the communities that are losing industrial jobs are not likely to be the same ones that attract high-technology; and the new jobs. . . many of. . . (which) are repetitive (and) tightly supervised. . . generally do not pay nearly as well as the old ones.
2. The bureaucracy's willingness to overlook the divisive hence decadent nature of the high-technology beast.
There are, it seems to me, at least two factors to consider here.
1. Our state government's using public resources to help those in the private sector (the entrepreneurs who will bankroll each high-tech venture) least in need of such assistance
In our political system, the governing entities are supposed to administer in the public sector not dabble in the private sector. Every time a governing unit ignores its theoretical duty, it discriminates against most of its constituents and hastens this country's decline.

State's political leaders honor Robert Docking
'Above all, he was a Kansan,' says Dole
ARKANSAS CITY — Accolades and words of tribute emanated from political leaders across the state this weekend in remembrance of former Gov. Robert B. Docking, who died Saturday morning, one day before his 80th birthday.
Services for Docking, who died in his sleep at his home, will be at 2 p.m. today in First United Presbyterian Church, Arkansas City. A private family burial will be tomorrow in Highland Park Cemetery in Kansas City, Kan, where Docking's father, former Gov. George Docking, is buried.
DOCKING LEFT a distinguished history at the University of Kansas. He graduated with honors from the University with a bachelor of science degree in 1948. His wife, Meredith, and his two sons, Charles and David, Docking was a former president of the University of Kansas Alumni Association and served on the
The family has asked that instead of flowers, contributions be made in his memory to the Kansas University Hospital or to the Cowley County Hospice.
A memorial service will be at 2 p.m.
wednesday in the rotunda of
washington hall.
Docking received the prestigious Fred Ellsworth Medallion in 1981. The award is given by the Alumni Association distinguished service to the University.
At the Governors' Conference in Lawrence yesterday, Gov. John Carlin said, "I would add at this time, that what really amazed me, is that as a public official his love and respect for the people actually grew in time.
executive board. He was also on the Board of Trustees of the Kansas University Endowment Association.
Former Republican Gov. Robert Bennett, who was elected governor in 1974 after Docking announced he would not seek a fifth term, said, "I was very saddened to hear of his passing. We were deeply moved, even though we differed in our politics.
"I CAN ASSURE you from research and from visiting with the people, the people haven't forgotten Bob Docking. They probably haven't forgotten him because when he served he was always the governor of the people."
"He certainly will be remembered as being a good governor, especially in worrying about the state as a whole and its finances in particular. I'm sure he will be remembered by the state as a Republican and Democrats alike."
Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., said, "Bob
Docking was a long-time friend — a man I respected and admired a great deal. He was an excellent governor who transcended the boundaries of partisan politics. Above all, he was a Kansan."
IN A LETTER to Docking's wife, state Democratic Party chairwoman Pat Lehman said, "The people of Kansas have lost a hero who truly served us well for so many, many years. Bob Docking's inspiration to us this last decade and during his four terms as our governor will continue to serve as the shining example he was for everyone.
"He provided 'leadership by the concerned instead of the comfortable' as he promised in his first inaugural address."
Docking set a number of precedents, including being the first governor to be elected to four terms and the first Democrat to unseat a Republican incumbent from the governor's chair. He served from 1966 to 1974.
"The Docking family has made Kansas a two-party state," said Frank McDonald, 1124 Emery Road, who was chairman for 20 years of the Docking for Governor Club. The club had its origins in Kansas during the terms of both George and Robert Docking, McDonald said.
"Both of them knew the value of a dollar. That's something we need today."
McDonald attributed Docking's ability to handle financial matters to a banking background.
Docking was the casher of the First National Bank in Lawrence when his father, George, was president. After being a cashier there, the younger Docking bought a bank in Arkansas City, McDonald said.
"He ran a tight ship and yet not so tight that people suffered."
Docking had returned to his home Tuesday after almost five months in Shawnee Mission Medical Center for treatment of emphysema. He had smoked up to four packs of cigarettes a day during his political career.
AS RECENTLY as Friday, Lt. Gov. Thomas Docking had said that Docking had been doing well and that it had been well done. When he when he had returned to Arkansas City
MCDONALD SAID that Robert Docking was a lot like his father.
Saturday, the lieutenant governor said that the family was in shock, "especially given the fact that he was well enough to return home this week."
