Claims Relief Load Decreased Refunds To Iowa Taxpayers
Des Moines Gov Clyde Herring reports taxpayer protests that the 4 million dollar refund to property owners from three point tax receipts was too small. He says 3 million dollars spent last year on relief kept refunds from being larger and the three point tax law reduced tax assessments, effectively aiding taxpayers beyond the refunds. He will form a study group on the social securities bill and may call a special session if delays hurt Iowa before the 1937 legislature.
