Iowa Moves Toward Female Legislative Participation
The Iowa House passed a concurrent resolution to allow women to sit in the legislature, sending it to the Senate for action. The measure, seen as easily passing, would amend the state constitution to strike the word male from membership qualifications, with the 41st General Assembly set to convene in 1926. Concurrently, highway commission recommendations include relocations of primary road right of way funded by state sources and reduced abutting property assessments, while a film censorship bill proposes state review for moral influence and penalties.
