Non Partisan Repeal Bill Reported Out in Iowa
Des Moines February 24 a 2 to 7 vote in the elections committee favors reporting the Larson bill repealing the non partisan judiciary law. A heated house debate is anticipated. The legislature faces a mid session recess from next Wednesday to March 5 with an extension proposal to March 10. Also proposed is a $50000 appropriation to care for returning Iowa soldiers in port cities and plans for state headquarters in New York City for Iowa boys overseas pending passage. The Iowa House passed a county agent funding bill by 86 to 20 after debate, while the Senate rejected an amendment on county supervisor elections. The measure ties county agent funding to farm association support up to $5000, with double matching from county supervisors once $1000 is raised.
