Editorial urges rural Iowa diversification and public health push
Washington observers report President Roosevelts plan to pack the Supreme Court was rushed and faced broad opposition from political groups. The piece argues Iowa must develop small rural industries to compete nationally, noting its rich farmland but aging youth and suggesting fruit processing and farm product value chains as remedies. It also praises Iowa for leading a national campaign against syphilis by funding free labs and urging treatment to curb spread and reduce reliance on unproven remedies.

Back to Mother Surfaces in Special Session Debate
The December special session reemerges in lawmakers chambers as House bill 134, backed by Representatives Wekler, Stvickter, Johnsen and Fring, expands employment coverage for eight or more employees and creates state employment services with a labor commissioner overseer. Senate sentiment centers on a three-man commission to administer the act amid ongoing pension funding battles. The Senate stalls Homestead Act while debating old age pension funding and federal-match needs, with Mighell’s $6.5 million amendment failing for now and possible revival later. The gross income tax bill advances in the House, proposing a 1 percent levy aimed at replacing property taxes within two years, projected to raise about $100 million annually.
