'Docking Tried Forcing Legislature His Way'
State Rep. Odd Williams (R-Lawrence) told members of the Young Republicans club Tuesday night that Kansas Gov. George Docking has tried to force the legislature into doing what he personally feels is right about the budget.
Rep. Williams said Gov. Docking has taken the attitude of, "you do it my way or it's not going to be done any way."
Rep. Williams said he came to talk to the group "with the hope of clarifying the stand my fellow Republicans have taken in the legislature."
"I am proud that the Republican legislators haven't succumbed to the loud political noises," he said.
Summing up the budget session, he said it ended "in a scoreless tie."
REP. ODD WILLIAMS
Rep. Williams said the main task for the legislature is to try and make up a present $16 million deficit in the budget. He said this could be accomplished by adding a one-half per cent increase in the sales tax and increasing the severance tax one cent.
Rep. Williams outlined Gov. Docking's proposed income sources and said they would be entirely inadequate for the revenue needed. He said Gov. Docking proposed a four-fold plan.
First would be a ton-mile tax on trucks. Rep. Williams said even if the revenue could be secured, it could be used only for highway use, according to the Kansas Constitution. He added that some estimate this would increase grocery prices one per cent due to added cost to truckers.
Second, an added inheritance tax. This would bring in less than $1 million. Rep. Williams said.
Third, he said Docking favored raising the corporate income taxes
and personal income taxes. Rep. Williams said this would double the tax for the little man, the man Docking says he is trying to protect.
Fourth would be to increase the severance tax. Rep. Williams said this would not raise more than about $4 million.
He said the main reason the Republicans are advocating the increased sales tax is that this way everyone would pay to reduce the budget deficit.

KU Health Service Began On An Island
Refreshments Are Served
Kansas University's Student Health Service began in a cabin on an island in the Kaw river in 1905.
In the spring of that year, Prof. Robert Taft reports in his book, "Across the Years on Mount Oread," a student became ill with smallpox. There was then no campus hospital, and, though it was necessary to isolate the student, the city hospital refused to admit him.
For lack of a better solution, a faculty group arranged to have the boy placed alone in an abandoned cabin on a river island. Fellow students ferried food to him, leaving it on a stump near the island shore.
The epidemic was short-lived, but by the time classes resumed on Jan. 2, 1929, Kansans were aware that the University needed a larger hospital.
Thus began a series of developments which led to the university's modern fully-equipped hospital, now employing six doctors and more than thirty nurses, technicians, and office, kitchen, and maintenance workers.
The year after the smallpox incident, University medical students successfully promoted a "health insurance" plan, whereby students who paid a voluntary $2 fee might receive the medical service they required. Two years later, in 1908, the Board of Regents approved a compulsory participation plan similar to the one begun by medical students.
Physicians were employed for the new health service on a part-time basis until 1928. A succession of private homes rented by the university served as hospitals.
Several dormitories were taken over to house the tiny hospital's overflow. Interns from a Kansas City Hospital which is now part of the KU Medical Center came to Lawrence to assist the University's single physician.
When the Legislature failed to appropriate money for the construction of a campus hospital that year, Mrs. J. B. Watkins offered funds to build and equip the hospital which now bears her name. Watkins Hospital was dedicated at the 1932 Commencement.
In November, 1928, an influenza epidemic struck the campus. Within in a few days, most of the university's 4,000 students had been stricken, and KU was closed for three weeks.
Since that time, Watkins hospital and the Student Health Service have served more than 35,000 students. The hospital's normal 50-bed capacity can be expanded to care for more than 90 patients.

MY CLOSEST SHAVE by Pat Flaherty 1956 Indianapolis Speedway Winner
"My closest shave was at Indianapolis in 1953," says Pat Flaherty, 1956 Indianapolis winner. "The track temperature that day hit 125" and the exhaust fumes hung right down on the speedway. I was going into the north turn at 130 mph when the fumes got me. I blacked out, hit the outside concrete fence, and skidded along for 120 feet. The car was demolished, my helmet was torn off, my safety belt broke—but I didn't break a single bone!"
