Macaulay Letter Warns on Pure Democracy and U S Fate

He cites France 1848 and foresees America facing rising labor unrest, populist rule, and a possible breakdown of property security unless restrained by strong government. He warns New England growth and future New York populism could threaten stability and prosperity.

Iowa Reform Drive Ramps Up In State Government Overhaul
In a sweeping reform push the Republican majority advances reorganization of state boards and agencies to cut costs. Key action includes the hybrid Department of Highway Safety absorbing patrols and inspectors from several agencies to save money, with opposition from agr., state, commerce groups and unions. The plan to abolish the state planning board fails in the Senate. A second measure would create a state tax commission consolidating 35 taxes, hailed as a major savings move. Governor WilsonProceedings show harmony between executive and legislative branches amid efficiency drives in offices led by Ora Williams. The dairy industry gains a state marketing fund via a one cent per pound excise tax, creating a dairy commission. Pension talks for teachers' annuity resurface for potential action. Cherokee Times voices local option liquor concerns but backs tougher controls on dine and dance establishments.

Bluebill and Broadbill Ducks Highlighted in Washington Star
Writer Ding Darling notes two closely related duck species, the bluebill and broadbill, with similar markings but different sizes. The smaller bluebill favors sheltered waters while the larger broadbill inhabits big sea bays. Both breed along prairie sloughs and lake edges from Kansas to northern Canada, and habitat loss has reduced their numbers.
