Iowa Legislature Ends Session With Notable Economy and Reforms
The legislature adjourned after a frugal session with no stray buncombe laws and broad support for the Board of Control. It set appropriations totaling $433,963.95 for special purposes including $25,000 for the Omaha exposition and $30,000 for a State Historical building, aiming to curb debt while funding war readiness and state needs. Measures include adjusting fair payments to 40 percent of premiums, city weed abatement funding via property taxes, and stricter teacher examinations while reforming taxes on peddlers and landowner weed duties.
