Rosa F. Cunningham, secretary of the Iowa Council for Better Education, urged Marshalltown business and professional women to shift school revenue from local property taxes to the state's general fund. She argued Iowa children in poor districts are undereducated while rich districts receive modern curricula. She cited disparities in per-child property values and called for state funding to equalize educational opportunities across the state. The plan would relieve property owners and spread costs evenly among all taxpayers.
