Carlin's 1984 budget would eliminate 515 state jobs
By JEFF TAYLOR
Staff Reporter
Gov. John Carlin's proposed 1984 state budget would eliminate 515 classified employee positions, the state budget director, said yesterday.
Lynn Muchmore, the director, said Carlin hoped to abolish only vacated positions and jobs that had not already filled.
But he said that there was no assurance that no one would lose a job.
"Somewhere down the line, in terms of employment, there are going to have to be reductions," he said.
MUCHIMORE TOLD about 50 people in the auditorium at the Lawrence Public Library that the Kansas Legislature had avoided scheduled February reductions among state agencies by accelerating tax collections.
"we won't find it necessary to make any more expenditure reductions in fiscal year 1983," he said.
Included in Carlin's budget proposal, Muchmore said, was an anticipated $138 million that could be generated from a severance tax on natural gas and oil.
He also said the 4 percent budget reductions that Board of Regents schools suffered last year, in the shadow of a statewide deficit of $47 million, had saved the state nearly $12 million.
Without a severance tax, Muchmore said, state revenue were anticipated to be $1.8 billion. And with a proposed $1.48 billion budget, the state will fund the fiscal year with a $750 million deficit.
THE EXPECTED $139 million from a severance tax such as the one planned in the budget would offset most of that deficit, said
bouget would miss most of that dent, he said.
But Muchmore said the $33 million that would
He said the state had to expand its tax base without increasing already high property taxes, but he said Carlton would not consider other tax sources without passage of the severance tax session.

He said lower oil prices could revise the expected figures by about $10 million, but he said he was more concerned about getting the right numbers. He also asked about what would happen if the oil prices fell.
"We're still operating, and will continue to operate, on assumed 1984 prices of $32 a barrel," he said.

Muchmore said the governor's office had made no sophisticated analysis of the social backwash if these people no longer received assistance.
Along with Winter and Branson, Democratic State Reps. Betty Jo Charlton and Solbac sponsored the public forum.

Washington stormed right back to tie as Theismann hit Rick Walker for 27 yards to the Redskins' 27 and threw 15 yards to Riggins to Miami's 25. Theismann ran 13 yards to the 13, and three plays later he hit Garrett for the touchdown and a 10-10 tie.

Senator visits Topeka, Lawrence
State leaders give Senator Dole mixed reviews
By DIANE LUBER Staff Reporter
The beauty of Sen. Bob Dole's achievements in Washington is, in the eye of the beholder,
As one might expect, state Republican leaders, who invited Dole to speak to a joint session of the Kansas Legislature Friday, commend him, but Democrats condemn him.
Dole, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, spent the weekend in Topeka for this year's Kansas Day program, organized by Kansas Republicans. He also came to Lawrence Friday and Saturday to visit with KG admirers and attend a meeting of the state Republican Party.
Saturday marked the 122nd anniversary of Kansas' statehood.
Kansas state.
"BOB DOLE's influence in Washington is obvious. He's been at the forefront of much tax legislation and instrumental in President Reagan's new federalism," said Senate President Ross Doyen, R-Concordia.
But Robert Tilton, Kansas Democratic Party chairman, said, "Dole was one of the strong leaders in enacting Reagan's programs, which have had a devastating effect on our country. And his programs have been as devastating for the farmer as they have been for the working man."
Kansas House Speaker Mike Hayden, R-Atwood, disagreed.
Dole helped to make changes in federal estate taxes that make it easier for families to pass their farms from one generation to the next. Hayden said.
Several years ago, Dole helped farmers by obtaining the release of penalty wheat, he said.

said. Farmers were required to store the wheat and not release it for sale unless they produced less than their quota the following year.
In his speech Friday, Dole offered only one remedy to farmers.
No president can unilaterally affect the effect of record crops or a record carryover of domestic production, but perhaps the president will help if farmers participate," he said.

program.
ALL REDUCE the demand for farm chemicals, fuel and other farm support industries that are the backbone of many small towns in rural Kansas, he said.
State Rep. James Braden, R-Clay Center, said, "I think Bob Dole has done it for the poor and needy." Braden noted Dole's support for the food stamp program as an example.
"He's an independent thinker, not a yes-man for President Reagan," Braden said. "He'll be one of the four front runners for president of the United States."
United States Sherry McGowan, Democratic national committeewoman, complimented and criticized Dole.
"He is a consummate politician," she said. "And he has the most fantastic consumer advocacy department in his office. He can really cut through red tape to get things done for his company."
"BUT HE'S RUTHLESS. Whatever he does, you can be the油 and gas industry will benefit."
"And I don't have to have you be president."
Dole has been a senator since 1969. He began his political career in 1951 with a two-year term in the Kansas House of Representatives.
in the 1976 presidential election he was Gerald Ford's running mate, and he sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1980.

Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., spoke to nearly 30 people in the Kansas Union Friday. Chancellor Gene A. Budig presented an award to Dole from KU for the service he has provided to the University. Dole made several stops in Topeka and Lawrence.
