Iowa Republicans push liquor and tax reform at Des Moines convention
The GOP platform at the Des Moines state convention urges reexamination of state liquor control laws and calls for long term property tax relief while funding state needs. Experts see potential for a three percent sales tax drive to aid schools and reduce local taxes. The platform backs Shaff reapportionment, Kerr Mills for aged care, and annual legislative sessions. Six new members join the Republican State Central Committee. Charles Noel Brown, a 29 year old from Minneapolis and killer of an internal revenue agent, is executed at Fort Madison after being condemned.
