Iowa Rail Board Reaffirms Harmony With Attorney General
The Des Moines railroad commission states no misunderstanding exists with the attorney general and both departments will work in harmony on the express rate cases. Commissioner Thorne is asked to act with the board or step aside, as the case proceeds to Judge McPherson with a preliminary hearing. Milk testers must obtain licenses by July 1, with full enforcement after July 4, as dairy officials move to issue credentials in county centers. Feeble minded and insane populations rise at Glenwood and Clarinda, prompting concern from the state board of control. A new high school aid law nears implementation, with $25,000 available next year and $50,000 annually thereafter, under supervision of Deyoe and Mahanhan.
