Iowa Budget Control Law Revision Proposed
A bill to revamp Iowa budget control laws to cut costs will be introduced next session as proposed by the Iowa Taxpayers Association. It would allow ten taxpayers to force public hearings on any local tax levy with final authority resting with a state board headed by the comptroller. Hearings would be held before a county chancellor named by the state board. The group cites past savings under the 1923 law and compares to Indiana's law.

South Africa Not As Dark As Painted, Says Truer Woman
Special to The Gazette Miss Agnes Wood of Traer describes Natal in bright terms from her furlough home. She notes lack of forests due to dominion law, bush country, and thriving towns with stores and paved streets. Lions elephants giraffes and zebras mainly stay in fenced parks, with some nocturnal movement. Drifting toward Chicago, she will attend the University of Chicago this spring before more mission work in the Midwest and another six years in South Africa next year.
