Gilmour proposal calls for action on Iowa voter parity
The editorial urges adoption of Dr. C Edwin Gilmour’s plan for constitutional reform to achieve legislative parity in Iowa.

A lighter column then notes petty bolt-tracking frustrations and suggests simpler fixes or fewer bolts as a humorous aside.
