Organized March 16, 1915, under the Federal Trade Commission Act, approved September 26, 1914, the Commission is an administrative body exercising quasi- judicial functions. These functions are chiefly, (1) to prevent unfair methods of competition in interstate commerce; (2) to make investigations at the direction of Congress, the President, the Attorney General, or upon its own initiative; (3) to report facts in regard to alleged violations of the antitrust laws; (4) to prevent price discriminations, exclusive dealing contracts, capital stock acquisitions, and interlocking directorates in violation of the Clayton Act; and (5) to prevent unfair methods of competition in export trade in violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act as extended by the Webb-Pomerene Act (Export Trade Act). During the fiscal year, the Commission’s statutory authority was broadened by the passage by the Congress, at its last session, of the Robinson-Patman Borah-Van Nuys Act, Public, No. 692, approved June 19, 1936, amending section 2 of the Clayton Act making price discriminations unlawful. Under the Federal Trade Commission Act 1 the duties of the Corn-mission are divided into two broad classes, legal and economic. Legal activities have largely to do with the prevention and correction of unfair methods of competition in accordance with section 5 of the Commission’s organic act, in which it is declared that “unfair methods of competition in commerce are hereby declared unlawful.” This phrase is not further defined in the act. In the first case in which the Supreme Court had occasion to consider this language, namely, that of F. T. C. v. Gratz (253 U. S. 421), the Court associated with the phrase those practices “opposed to good morals be- 1 Copies of the Federal Trade Commission Act, Sherman Act, Clayton Act, Robinson Patman Borah- Van Nuys Act, and Export Trade Act may be obtained on application to the Federal Trade Commission or Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. Texts of these acts also appear beginning at p.135 of this report. 3 4 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION cause characterized by deception, bad faith, fraud, or oppression, or as against public policy because of their dangerous tendency unduly to hinder competition or create monopoly.” In a later case, in which it had occasion to consider the phrase (F. T. C. v. R. F. Keppel Bro., Inc., 291 U. S. 304), the Supreme Court upheld, as involving an unfair method of competition, the Commission’s order prohibiting the sale of candies largely for ultimate resale through schemes of chance. The Court pointed out that in defining the powers of the Commission Congress advisedly adopted this phrase, “which, as this Court has said, does not admit of precise definition, but the meaning and application of which must be arrived at by what this Court elsewhere has called ‘the gradual process of judicial inclusion and exclusion.’” 2 In another decision (A. L. A. Schechter Poultry Corp. et al. v. United States, 295 U. S. 495), the Supreme Court said: “* * * What are ‘unfair methods of competition’ are thus to be determined in particular instances, upon evidence, in the light of particular competitive conditions, and of what is found to be a specific and substantial public interest. * * *” In this general connection, it should be noted that under the pro-visions of section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act the Com mission is to proceed only if it appears to it that the particular proceeding would be “to the interest of the public.” It accordingly does not concern itself with purely private competitive controversies which have no public significance. Legal activities of the Commission, besides enforcement of its organic act, include administration of section 2 of the Clayton Act, dealing with unlawful price discriminations, as amended by the Robinson-Patman Borah-Van Nuys Act, and sections 3, 7, and 8 of the Clayton Act dealing, respectively, with unlawful “tying” contracts, unlawful stock acquisitions, and unlawful interlocking directorates The Webb-Pomerene, or Export Trade Act, also administered by the Commission, has for its purpose the promotion of export trade. It exempts from the provisions of the antitrust laws associations of American exporters engaged solely in export trade. The economic work of the Commission arises chiefly under section 6 (a), (b), and (d) of the organic act giving the Commission power-- (a) To gather and compile information concerning, and to investigate, from time to time, the organization, business, conduct, practices, and management of any corporation engaged in commerce, excepting banks and common carriers, * * * and its relation to other corporations and to individuals, associations, and partnerships. 2 Typical methods of competition condemned by the Commission as unfair are described on p. 64. GENERAL LEGAL ACTIVITIES 5 (b) To require, by general or special orders, corporations engaged in commerce, excepting banks, and common carriers subject to the act to regulate commerce, * * * to file with the Commission in such form as the Commission may prescribe annual or special, or both annual an special, report or answers in writing to specific questions, furnishing to the Commission such information as it may require as to the organization, business, conduct, practices, management, and relation to other corporations, partnerships, and individuals of the respective corporations filing such reports or answers in writing.

In that time, I’ve been inspired by a mom whose 5-year-old boy, by all rights, should have died at birth. I’ve watched another mother weep over the sweet, autistic son she lost in a drowning accident in 2010. I flew in a fully restored WWII B-24 bomber, and I’m terrified of heights. I’ve reported from the scene of a murder-suicide; a stabbing among high school girls (the cops called it an ongoing feud); a rollover accident where a conscious semi driver jackknifed his truck to block traffic -- he saved the lives of two motorcyclists, a state trooper told me, who laid their bike down to avoid being crushed by a car. Once, a thick-knee bird with an unnatural attraction to humans attacked my jeans at the Sedgwick County Zoo. I’ve sunk knee-deep in mud at a dried- up Butler County Lake. I’ve seen dogs tracking humans, a church service at Cheney Lake and a solider meet his 3-month-old son for the first time.

  • Narrative Analysis and Framing of Governor Brownback's
    Narrative analysis and framing of Governor Brownback’s state funding crisis in 2015: a case study of press secretary Eileen Hawley by Molly Jaqueline Hadfield B.A., University of Kansas 2012. A THESIS submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Journalism and Mass Communications College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2019 Approved by: Major Professor Steven Smethers Copyright © Molly Hadfield 2019. Abstract Sam Brownback’s tumultuous tenure as Governor of Kansas required talented public relations people to work with the media and help him sell his budget ideas to the state. His second of three Communications Directors, Eileen Hawley, served at the time of Brownback’s 2015 tax cuts that caused a massive budget shortfall, plunging the state into a financial crisis. This case study examines the effectiveness of framing strategies used by Hawley, who employed a more politically neutral stance during her messaging surrounding the Kansas budget shortfall. This study uses in-depth interviews with Hawley and Statehouse reporters to assess Hawley’s strategies in handling the ensuing financial crisis. Previous studies have shown that communications directors who present material in a more neutral manner gain the trust of the media, and therefore their frames have more saliency in the press. This study reveals mixed results in using such a strategy, with generally negative assessments from Capital reporters. Table of Contents Chapter 1- Introduction………………………………………………………………………..…1

And, in tracing the development of intraparty organization through several well-known examples of party infighting, I will demonstrate that intraparty organizations have played pivotal — yet largely unrecognized — roles in critical legislative battles, including turn-of-the-century economic struggles, midcentury battles over civil rights legislation, and contemporary debates over national health care policy.

Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 31 (Autumn 2008): 212–229 212 Kansas History Bill Compton Builds Wichita a Pyrolysis Plant by Angie Gumm n the late 1960s and early 1970s the United States government, concerned over the twin issues of garbage accumulation and oil shortage, funded various resource recovery technologies that it hoped would eventually allow the nation’s trash to supply 2 to 3 percent of its power needs.1 Legislation such as the 1970 Resource Recovery Act and the 1976 Resource Recovery and Conservation Act funded Iseveral demonstration plants throughout the decade. The most expensive, technologically difficult, heav- ily funded, and promising disposal technique was pyrolysis, which cooked rather than burned waste to produce oil, carbon, and gas. But even with the possibility of federal funding, few communities had the financial or intellectual resources to host a pyrolysis plant. Those resource recovery operations that were established mostly failed, and though researchers learned a great deal from their failures during the 1970s, this knowledge was never used to develop new and improved technologies. In fact, once the threat of an energy crisis faded in the early 1980s, the federal government quickly dropped solid waste research and development from its agenda. The government’s abandonment of such questions widened the gap between those who saw technology as part of the environmental problem and those who believed in tech- nological solutions to the waste question.

    Monday Morning, Herschel C. Logan (1934) Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 33 (Summer 2010): 116–35 116 KANSAS HISTORY KANSAS : A Centennial Portrait, Part One by Emory Lindquist ansas History plans to offer its readers a special “Kansas at 150” issue next spring. In the meantime, as we look forward to our state’s rapidly approaching sesquicentennial year, we thought it might be interesting to look back fifty years. What were Kansans saying about their state as they reflected on the first one hundred years of statehood? The following are the learned observations of Kansas historian and university administrator Emory Lindquist, as first published in the Kansas Historical Quarterly’s spring 1961 issue. KThe essay has been illustrated with selected prints by Kansas artist Herschel C. Logan, lightly edited for style, and a few notes have been added (in all italics so as to be distinct from Lindquist’s original notes) where considered necessary, but for the most part it is presented here as originally published. Given the length of the piece, the editor has divided it into two parts for republication. Part one appears here; part two will appear in our autumn issue. Understandably, due to the passage of time, a few of Professor Lindquist’s comments are dated, but for better, and occasionally worse, most remain remarkably prescient. Dr. Emory Kempton Lindquist (1908–1992), a native of Lindsborg, Rhodes scholar, and former professor and president of Bethany College (1933–1953), served as a professor, a dean, and president at Wichita State University from 1953 to 1978.

Two men, Frank Mnnsev and George Perkins, bore the brunt of the load. Whereas Munsey left the party after 1912, Perkins .remained and played a major role in the party's course in history. George W.
