The speaker reassures conservative Republicans in Iowa that the sole risk is in nominations. Iowa Republicans will vote the ticket regardless of candidate on it. The note contrasts with other states that examine nominees, asserting Iowa will not.
Senator elect Magnus Johnson says many things must be changed and Congress must work them out. He hints that Congress will be altered when he arrives, noting it has withstood hard blows from Brookhart and others, but will face its first Magnus Johnson to stand for it.
A Des Moines Register correspondent from Braddyville nominates Senator John R. Price of Albia for governor. His party might do worse, but we thought his aim was Attorney Generalship this year. The fifteenth district senator understands politics and is unlikely to retire to private practice after his current term ends.
The piece argues that tax-exempt securities are misunderstood and that taxing them would raise interest rates. It suggests reducing public bond issuance by cutting spending rather than increasing taxes.
The passage reflects on nine years since a world war began, noting that few expected US involvement or a multi year conflict. It conveys a cautious view of the unknown future and a call to focus on present troubles rather than predicting outcomes. The tone is reflective and reserved.
The speaker argues for restraint in disputing biblical creation beliefs while criticizing meme-accusations of human ancestry as monkeys. Emphasizes both sides should avoid heated rhetoric about ancient origins.
Senator Hiram Johnson outlined three proposals after returning from Europe. The editorial questions what his foreign policy means if the United States is busy at home and not needed abroad, suggesting removing the third point might improve the stance.
Arthur Brisbane favors letting in ten million first class immigrants from Europe to work and feed crops, but questions arise on how to select only first class entrants. He notes miners and others have not shown obligation to the country that admitted them.
The author argues many migrants are loyal to birth nations or foreign rulers, contending fourth or fifth rate immigrants flood in and should be blocked for years to test Americanization. He suggests foreign buyers set wheat prices and proposes shipping wheat abroad rather than wasting crusts domestically.
The piece argues that without land reform stagnation stems from land hoarding by a few, not general overproduction. It notes that rent drains workers’ pay, causing cycles of struggle and downturns, and urges a land tenure system to prevent hoarding and allow supply and demand to balance, despite union friction and political hesitance.
An Iowa reader argues coal prices influence freight and food costs from flour to meat. High coal costs are tied to monopolistic control and underpaid land and labor, with unions masking true wages. A stalled coal commission hinders remedies.
Editorial clippings discuss a new July 4 law confiscating cars for carrying intoxicants, with proceeds funding county schools after expenses. Sheriffs and officers must enforce it. Also noted are Sioux City guest car cards and fines for roadside sign removal, plus local banter about a dog show at the Iowa State Fair and Case Van Synpost’s humorous take on dog entries.
The West Des Moines Courier denounces Dr. Rice for backing a mob that routed President Pearson and demanded control of Iowa State College. It criticizes his oath to the law and urges ignoring the guilty party while noting broader educational authority disputes over a highway project. An Iowa farmer recalls past prices and debt, contrasting bygone times with present luxuries and the steady path to paying off a farm mortgage in Marion county.
The Journal admits an error in requesting weed cutting near the public library location. Weeds have been cleared to expose a varied collection of junk, large and small, that would delight any ambitious junk dealer. The weeds were the paper’s inadvertent benefactors.
A thoughtful remark notes that while many lock homes to deter burglars they risk inviting mischief makers and telltales inside, urging vigilance and prudent restraint against petty betrayals and gossip.
Goodman of Des Moines was arrested Saturday for driving while intoxicated and injuring a family riding in a buggy. The incident marks another case of a good man gone wrong.
Notice filed in Marion County Iowa district court for Dina Eloosterman deceased. Hearing set for October 2 1923 in Knoxville with interested parties invited.
