President Coolidge weighs McNary Haugen farm relief bill
Washington reports say President Coolidge faces a veto decision on the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill. Most observers expect a veto, which would shape the 1928 Republican contest and anger eastern leaders or farm bloc loyalists depending on his choice. Former Governor Lowden and Vice President Dawes are named as possible presidential prospects backing the measure.

Proposed Game Law Change Favored By League
A. Claire Dewey leads Washington chapter of the Izaak Walton League in backing a bill to repeal current fish and game laws and form a six member state commission appointed by the governor. The commission would appoint a state game warden and define duties with penalties for violations. Members would be unpaid and nominated by Iowa scientific and conservation bodies. Dewey urged citizens to write officials before March 1 to support the measure, arguing it would depoliticize the department and boost conservation efforts.
