Exemption Of Homesteads Not Aid to Schools
A joint statement by the Iowa Farm Bureau and the State Teachers Association argues homestead exemption credits are not state aid to local schools. They say the credits lower taxes only for home owners, affect about 20 percent of Iowa property, and ignore school costs and needs. The statement contends the credits should not factor into state school support calculations.

Seek Five Million For Secondary Roads
Iowa lawmakers face a need to appropriate upwards of four million dollars for secondary road purposes to match a federal grant of 3,979,710 annually for three years after the war. Farm Bureau backs a one cent per gallon gasoline tax hike to raise about five million dollars yearly, with Ben C. Buckingham noting the estimate. Federal aid also covers urban highways and federal routes, totaling around 11 million dollars to Iowa.
