Iowa Legislature Proceedings Mixed on Inspections and Taxes
Des Moines reports Wednesday sessions of the Iowa Senate and House with debates over the Emmert livestock inspection bill and city water management. Lothrop’s exemption amendment failed, and the house passed Penick mortgage taxation measures after a lengthy party-line fight. Thursday saw progress on nursery stock San Jose scale laws, a strong anti adulterated food bill, and revisions to building and loan contracts. The week closed with scant adjournment notes and ongoing battles over public health and finance measures.

A sweeping Iowa lobby run by the Iowa Building and Loan league pressures lawmakers to pass a favored bill. Two years back a 12 percent interest cap was set for building and loan contracts, later challenged by courts. Now the lobby seeks to legalize older, illegal high rates, with funds and press influence, as Senate vote 30 to 14 approved a new measure.
