Republicans seek to unseat Brookhart in Iowa contest
The Republican state committee plans swift action to challenge Senator Brookhart alleging election fraud. Chairman B B Burnquist says Brookhart pretended to be a Republican to gain the nomination and later repudiated party nominees. If found valid the governor would appoint a temporary senator until 1926. The filing date for the contest over Brookhart’s seat in Washington has not been set, with precedence hoped over a separate challenge by Democrat Steck. Officials discuss but avoid public comment.

Cooperative firm must reserve profits before mortgage payoff
An Iowa attorney general opinion says a Farmers Cooperative company of Afton may discharge mortgage indebtedness only after setting aside annual reserves. It requires 10 percent of net profits to a reserve, 50 percent of paid-in capital, and a 5 percent cap for an educational fund, with nonprofit cooperatives similarly constrained. The opinion, discussed with stockholders, notes funds must be allocated before mortgage payments, and confirms available money can reduce debt without new stock sales. The firm, growing since 1921, reports rising annual gross business. its next meeting is scheduled in Afton.
