Governor Carroll Urges Iowa Road and School Reforms
Governor Carroll in his final message to the Iowa Legislature urges permanent highway improvements with a state highway commission and a one mill road tax. He backs rural high schools, expanded normal schools, and strong education oversight, plus public utilities, labor reform, and a state sheriff role. He notes road labor by convicts and calls for prison reform and a women’s building at the state fair.
