Primary law debate in Des Moines touches Iowa and Illinois bills
Through courtesy of Senator Wilson and Representative Shatter we review bills at Des Moines. Newberry seeks to curb adulteration and rename the State Dairy Commission to State Food and Dairy Commission, while Crosslay pushes a direct primary for party and organization nominees. Both have merit and would benefit, but the current Illinois law is criticized as a disgrace and Iowa aims for a clear, comprehensible primary law or none.
