Political party roll calls spark study by ISU professor
Prof. Charles W. Wiggins of Iowa State analyzes party line voting in the Iowa legislature with five tables. He notes that House Republicans averaged 80.9 percent and Democrats 83.1 percent, Senate Republicans 79.8 percent and Democrats 84.5 percent, while urging caution in interpreting these scores as party policy support. The piece discusses who defines party policy and cites longtime senator J. Kendall Lynes on party control, plus remarks on leadership scores and possible methodological issues. In a separate item, Norway school board’s bid to light its baseball field at 16 thousand dollars wins state appeal board approval over library improvements.

Johnson holds domestic welfare budget at current levels
Top aides report the 1969 welfare budget for education health and poverty will stay at current levels due to war costs and a powerful economy bloc. The plan includes new programs in the 1970s, with two levels for 1969 and a second Johnson term. Officials warn of possible misleading budget data, while a large 10 percent tax surcharge looms as a potential hurdle.
