Iowa Assembly Recess Opens February Twenty Sixth
Des Moines reports the Thirty-eighth general assembly will recess Wednesday night for ten days to March first, giving bankers and farmers home time for spring settlements. Lawmakers remain to draft bills, with few passing both chambers. Key issues include road and public utilities reform, nonpartisan judiciary repeal, Kimball primary reform, Havner state agent funding, and women’s suffrage. A proposed unicameral system remains a distant, unusual idea.
