The state views the U S Senate race with interest as Lester J Dickinson Lloyd Thurston and Osceola congressman pursue the nomination to succeed Senator Herring. Thurston, a Spanish American World War veteran, emphasizes farming ties and political independence, while Gilchrist is named as a candidate likely to please voters.
Excerpts from Hon. Lloyd Thurston's March 17 1936 radio address argue that creating new bureaus and commissions is not a universal solution to national issues. The speech contrasts approaches, urging government to pursue prudent business practices and efficient administration.
A speech from a political figure criticizes Roosevelt era debt growth, unemployment, and tax burdens while urging protection of American producers. He calls for reduced farm production by one fourth, supports irrigation projects with caution, and suggests reforms to reemploy displaced workers and boost domestic sugar and fuel alcohol production. Mention of Iowa Child Welfare, University of Iowa, Tom Bosma, and a local reader visitor.
A historic article outlines four aims for child welfare: security through stable homes and income, health via maternal care and community health, safety in public spaces to prevent injuries, and education that prepares for fulfilling work. It urges parents teachers and communities to progress in these four areas and asks what steps have been taken.
A Sunday Register Open Forum letter by a school teacher argues janitors deserve no pensions, claiming hard work and low pay, while noting teachers enjoy higher salaries and seek more lucrative positions, despite public sentiment.
