Make Clean Sweep At Tuesday Election
Our Mayor and Councilmen made a clean sweep at Tuesday's election. There were 47 votes cast and Mayor Schori received 42. For Council the vote was Boyle 46, Capper 45, Dean 42, Fauser 44, Machiethaler 46. The old check voter was present again and spoiled his ballot. It seems they will never learn to make a cross in the square. A check doesn't count.

Bar Association Opposes Minimum Filing Fee
The Iowa State Bar Association told the state tax study committee it opposes a proposed minimum filing fee for state income tax returns. President Henry J. TePaske said the fee is inconsistent with income taxation and resembles an excise or poll tax, and opposed on principle not policy. The association did not judge revenue sources like radio or TV advertising, noting possible constitutional questions. Kent Emery was named first assistant to Atty. Gen. Dayton Countryman, replacing Clarence Kading. Emery’s salary rose to 7500 dollars, and he began November 1.
