Iowa State Legislature Debates Board of Control Fight
Reports from Des Moines detail the Healy investigation and a Senate Ways and Means poll on central board plans. Committees study Merriam and Healy Porter proposals, with trips to New York and Wisconsin to study boards of control. Debates on sheriff fees, garnishments, poll tax abolition, and biennial elections shape a possible deadlock as factions align around central versus advisory boards. House and Senate move on bills affecting public spending and taxation of utilities, with election and printing offices under contest.

Healy Report Criticized in Republican Editorial
The Republican voices strong disapproval of the Trealy report saying it discredits institutions and ignores proper governance. It renews calls for clearer laws and tighter accountability while warning against placing power in a single autocratic board. It also criticizes Herron’s influence and notes a Iowa court ruling on cigarette packaging.
