Capitol Capsules Review of Iowa Public Instruction and Utilities Plans
A state study finds the Iowa Department of Public Instruction competent but in need of top leadership. ISEA proposes reorganizing the department with a state board and elected superintendent. Northwestern Bell favors regulation via a state public utilities commission. Governor Beardsley campaigns steadily, while Frank Moorhead’s fair coverage slates a humorous contrast. Harold L. McKinley is named chairman of the GOP farm council organizing committee.
