The indictment was dismissed, and the state contemplated an appeal, noting the decision could set precedent. Garland contended the law could not be applied due to its invalid status.

Four House Vetoes Slash in Army and Defense Bill
The House rejected President Eisenhower’s plan to cut the army to 870,000 for the next year by a 224 to 158 vote, then approved a $38,469,561,000 defense appropriation bill by 289 to 0. An amendment would finance a 900,000-man army at an added cost of 99 million, a measure backed by bids noting Korea War strength and warning against further reductions. Garland was indicted March 24 for failing to file Iowa state income tax returns in 1958 and 1956, with the charge tied to a $3,000 gross income threshold. The case moved through county and state courts as debates over tax statute validity continued.
