Iowa Legislature Acts on Libel Injunctions and County Agency Funds
Des Moines reports a bill to subject newspapers to injunctive limits in libel cases, not halting publishing but restraining derogatory content. Legislation would empower counties to fund farm improvement groups with 2500 dollars yearly, with membership and cash-raising criteria. The session notes include bills to increase railroad commissioners, add Supreme Court judges, redefine district judges, and abolition moves for Bee Keeper, State Board of Control, and State Printer. Governor Harding’s appointments loom, especially Supreme Court picks.
