Iowa Legislature Opens With Liquor Bills and Reform Talk
Special Legislative Correspondence from Des Moines reports the 40th General Assembly's opening week in January 1923. Senators McIntosh and Holdoegel push liquor control measures, while a concurrent resolution seeks to strike the word male to allow women to hold seats. Governor Kendall urges a state budget system, department consolidation, and Code revision via the Code Commission, with a plan to avoid an expensive extra session. A joint session installs Kendall and Hammill, and W. R. C. Kendrick is named new insurance commissioner to take effect February 1.
