Iowa Senate to take up liquor law in push for quick adjournment
The Iowa Senate deferred liquor control legislation to 10 a.m. Monday after adopting a sifting committee to prune unneeded bills. The debate touched on military powers for the governor and the National Guard with Roelofs proposeing broad authority, later narrowed by a substitute bill. A separate House measure, approved by unanimous vote, would let insurers invest up to 20 percent of capital in bank stock to ease credit. A separate obituary notes the passing of the last G. A. R. member in the community, with funeral set at the Baptist church.
