Farmers Oppose Road Bond Issue in Iowa Referendum
The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation restates opposition to an $85,000,000 road bond. Late returns from a state-wide poll show farmers favor a gasoline tax 4 to 1, support allocating gas tax funds to primary secondary and township roads 10 to 1, and oppose Highway Commission control of primary roads 55 to 1. Resolutions from a Tenth District convention urge continued tax relief, endorsing a 2 cent gas tax as a replacement property tax.
