"Ignoring the problem would not have been fair to state employee, students and others," he said. "If we would not have gone ahead with the 4 percent cutback, we would have faced massive cuts, massive dropping of programs and high unemployment."
Despite the grumbling that accompanied the budget reduction, Carlin said, university administrators statewide gave blanket approval to his proposals.
CARLIN GENEROUSLY dolo out blame for the budgetary choke. he pointed an accusing finger at both the Republican-controlled state Senate and the slumping national economy as a result of
In singling out the Senate, the governor said his advice to layaway 10 percent of the budget to ensure the state would sidestep budgetary crises was ignored.
During the interview, Carlson said that the solution — a severance tax — would be financed primarily by non-Kansans, and that any alteration would raise an additional financial burden on the state's average taxpayers.
He said the removal of the sales tax on residential utility bills and the Kansas Gas Price Protection Act were two measures enacted during his term to lower utility rates.
"Utility rates have risen because supply is exceeding demand," he said. "Four years ago I said that a governor could make a difference and I have. I never said I could control OPEC and the
Carlin said his efforts would eventually save Kansas about $130 million, and the reason was
this state had some of the lowest utility rates in the country.
"I'm also going to get the federal government to do what I've done on the state level," he
Carlin said his administration had worked consistently to expand grain markets for Kansas farmers, and that he had improved railway service to ensure market transportation.
"I'm a farmer myself, so I understand their problems in a very real way," he said.
He said that he would also continue working on the federal level to eliminate grain embargoes, and that he had helped draft a resolution explaining how he wanted oppressed farmers opposed embargoes as a (oreign) policy tool.
CARLIN, WHO VETOED a death penalty bill last year after if passed both Houses, said there should be no confusion about his position on capital punishment.
"I've always opposed the death penalty," he said. "I voted against it every single time as Speaker of the House and I've vetoed it as governor."

"I said, as candidate for governor, that I would not arbitrarily stand in the way of the bill. I thought I could accept it because it was the will of the people, when it crossed my desk, I just couldn't do it."
Carlin said he did support a minimum 30-year sentence for violent offenders rather than the current law requiring only a minimum of 15 years in prison.
He also said that during his term he supported a law with a tougher approach to juvenile offenders, and had worked to improve conditions at the Lansing State Penitentiary.
President
The Begin government has supported establishment of Israeli settlements in the West Bank area adjoining Jordan and in the Gaza area between Israel and the Simni desert, recently negotiated with the Camp David peace treaty negotiated during the Carter administration.
"I want to make the American position well understood: the purpose of this transitional period is the peaceful and orderly transfer of territory from Iraq to Afghanistan, the tattos of the West Bank and Gaza," Reagan said.
He added, "At the same time, such a transfer must not interfere with Israel's security policies."
Reagan said it was clear to him that "peace cannot be achieved by the formation of an independent Palestinian state in those territories. Nor is it achievable on the basis of Israeli sovereignty or permanent control over the West Bank and Gaza.
"So the United States will not support the establishment of an independent Palestinian
state in the West Bank and Gaza, and we will not support annexation or permanent control by Israel.
"There is, however, another way to peace. The final status of these lands must, of course, be reached through the give and take of negotiations. But it is the firm view of the United Sates that self-government by the Palestinian of the West Bank and Gaza in association with Jordan offers the best chance for a durable, just and lasting peace."

In his address, he played heavily on peaceful resolution of the crisis in Lebanon, including the U.S. negotiated withdrawal of the PLO, which concluded yesterday.

And most of the senators are unhappy with the evaluation system that was set up along with the merit plan two years ago, though they think it is better than the old plan.
THEY SAID that because the new system was personal, it allowed personality conflicts.
"If they don't like you, they won't give you a good rating," said Sickles.
Barbara Johnson, a secretary who has worked in civil service for 20 years, said her complaint was that the state did not put enough money into the merit plan budget even before the freeze.
Carlin told the senators that he made mistakes in the program and asked them to put their frustrations into perspective because the plan was new.
But Johnson was not appeased.
"How long are they going to play around with our salaries?" she said.
