Iowa House Kills Banking Bill and Sets Friday Adjournment
Des Moines April 11 The House voted 46 to 56 to kill the special banking bill creating a 300000 bank stabilization fund. Adjournment for the 42nd Iowa General Assembly is set for Friday April 15 at noon, with the Senate concurring by one dissent. The Senate refused to concur in House budget cuts, sending the matter back to the House for conference. The Senate passed a bill extending state aid to horse and mule breeders and legalizing an appropriation within the budget. Also approved were a city tax measure for pensions and a compulsory kindergarten provision. The House later refused to call up the 4 cent Laseline tax bill from committee, with 37 to 50 vote, under a two-thirds rule. A move to require only a constitutional majority to call up a bill was cut off. The day included actions on tuberculosis aid for Iowa cattle, and additional government aid discussed for cattle lasting law indemnities.
