A long reader page from Decorah notes office hours, local professionals, and ads. It covers politics with reflections on Prohibition, economics, and notable figures, including Governor Clarke, Wilson, and T. B lease, plus industry remarks on aluminum versus iron.
Iowa lawmakers reconvened with committee reshuffles and a flood of bills. The Quigley resolution seeks an investigation of graft claims in Gov Clarke's message, while Cosson and aides prepare draft bills to withstand court review. Proposals include road width reductions, absent voting, saloon decisions by secret ballot, and a state role in private banks.
Gov Clarke appointed John A Guiher an attorney from Winterset as railway commissioner on January 20 to succeed the late N S Ketchum of Marshalltown. Guiher was prominent in Seventh district politics and helped arbitrate the Des Moines street railway strike. He is listed as a member of the progressive wing of the Republican party.
Mrs. Fred Keeler provides two thousand dollars to Mason City to establish a permanent city playground in the eastern section. The park will be named Dennison Field in honor of the late C. T.
