Methods of Economizing Cited by Rolland Maddow
Three Ways Tax Expense
May Be Cut Given in
Radio Talk
Three methods of economizing in cost of government were enumerated later night in a radio talk on the University of Kansas station, KFKU, by W. Rolland Maddox, instructor in political science. The three plans suggested were:
1. Abolition of townships as taxing units.
3. Counties should be consolidated, and county offices consolidated or abolished.
2. Consolidation and simplification of rural schools.
Mr. Madlock pointed out that the township system was started in ox cart days; that now transportation was exceedingly rapid, and communication by train was common.
Township assessment of property for taxation purposes is unsatisfactory, Mr Maddox said, since the work in exe-
mptions would have been done in evaluations are bound to occur.
After pointing out that county mergers are being considered in 15 other states, Mr. Muddox said that Kansas counties were laid out in early days of poor transportation, and of extravagant ideas of coming growth in population.
"Recent figures show more than 9,000 separate taxing bodies in Kansas, each levying taxes for schools," he said. "Property in some counties pays three different taxes under three different situations is a major problem," he said.
"Consolidation is not a general cure-all, but in many parts of the state, schools could be consolidated to advantage."

"Nothing," chirped the would-be admirer.
"What would you give to see Garbo, tensed the guard.
"Oh a dime," answered the boy.

State College, Pa.—(UP) -The Penn State Co-operative Association, launched by students with $200 capital this year, now operates a five-cent student grocery store and homecoming rooms and a student supply store at Pennsylvania State College.
The idea for the association developed from a discussion among a group of students last spring.
At the opening of the fall term in September, 60 students advanced $10 each. Membership was set at $2 annually and was opened to all students. The plan met immediate success and allowed the purpose of reducing "the cost of living for students and providing opportunities for their employment."
The association found work for 65 students, sponsored homes for students where they could obtain room and board for about $7 a week, and opened an office in the city to serve five cents and three meals daily may be obtained daily for about 70 cents.
