DES MOINES The 1941 Iowa legislature approved nine salary increases ranging from 200 to 600 dollars annually for state employees and cut one salary by 300 dollars, effective July 1. It reenacted a provision in the budget and control act of 1933 making most salaries, except those fixed by law and paid by the state board of education, subject to governor and comptroller approval. It removed a prior limit on salaries of the commission paying jobless benefits funded from federal rather than state funds placed there for political reasons.
