Independent merchants press for chain store tax reform
About 300 to 400 independent merchants from across Iowa descended on the legislature to lobby for chain store tax legislation. They planned to brief Governor Wilson but were not informed of the plan, and the governor did not receive them as a group. Wilson met with smaller groups of merchants instead. Public welfare board appointments loom as state divisions await two men and a woman. A printer’s salary pamphlet listing all state employees may include the University of Iowa football coach’s pay. The piece notes class C beer permits and the liquor law implications. Governor Wilson’s reticent interviewing style is remarked upon after a Wisconsin paper highlighted it. Tama Indians were cited for a contrasting behavior.
