Retrenchment and Education Proposals Dominate Iowa Senate Debate
Iowa senators debated retrenchment and reform amid a close vote 65 to 50 on the measure. O Donnell of Dubuque credited the committee with saving $29,000, while opponents argued for budget-reform oversight by the budget director. Bills on Bible reading in public schools and a state text book commission sparked further discussion, alongside proposals for pensions for teachers and elimination of duplication among three state educational institutions. The session also considered county crop agent regulations, long and short haul freight rate changes, and the direct election of county school superintendents.
