Debate over Havner $75,000 annual Belts bill ends in cut
Des Moines March 7 debate on the Havner $75,000 annual Belts appropriation bill began yesterday afternoon and after five hours of argument ended with the appropriation halved to $27,500. The measure was amended to require bonds of $5,000 for all state agents, audit of oral accounts by the executive council, and district court judge approval before prosecutions. The vote split factions, yielding a strong anti Havner victory led by Gov. Harding supporters and others. Senator A Whitmore led the Havner camp.
