Iowa House to Shake Up Committees in Reform Move
Des Moines Jan 8. Herriott and Eaton plan to reorder house committees by workload. The congressional districts panel will rise to near the top as the largest and most active, while senatorial and representative district panels may also gain. Agriculture in the senate should advance, a new telephones committee will rise, and some panels such as building and loan may be downgraded due to fewer companies and new investment firms. Public officer compensation and higher salaries for governor and judges are expected, with the treasurer relieved from overbonding costs.
