Budget Director Replaces Three-Man Board in Iowa Plan
Iowa lawmakers near approval of a bill that replaces the three-man budget board with a single Budget Director appointed by the governor. The director can hire a state accountant and clerical staff, with per diem assistants, to supervise state expenditures. The director’s review powers cover contracts and public improvements, with limited oversight on education and rate boards. The measure takes effect October 1, 1924, and requires Senate confirmation.

Senators Regard Arbitration on Immigration Policy
Washington officials view Japanese calls for arbitration of the immigration dispute as absurd. Senators and White House aides argue that immigration is a domestic matter and that ceding it to a neutral commission would threaten sovereignty. Veto prospects fade as Congress likely enacts the exclusion bill with Coolidge potentially signing or letting it pass automatically. Trade relations show little impact despite the harsh limits.
