Des Moines reports that the Iowa House refused to bring out the district clearing house associations bill, voting 63 to 42 against committee action. Governor Hammill urged banking reform, including a bank guaranty and the clearing house bill, but legislators resisted. Representative Clyde Charlton noted proponents could not obtain desired provisions, and a constitutional majority hurdle blocked a second attempt. Commentators argued depositors were left unprotected while bankers’ profits persisted.
