Workmen's compensation law underperforms in Iowa
Iowa workmen's compensation laws lag behind neighboring states with only about 2,200 settlements from nearly 11,000 accidents reported since enactment. In ten months, total benefits near $94,000 plus doctor bills. Minnesota and Wisconsin show far higher payouts, signaling weak enforcement and legislative inertia. Additional notes report 1,160 state banks, ongoing military board sessions in Cedar Rapids, and Sergeant Edgar W. Savage assigned as cavalry instructor for soon-to-be organized Iowa troops.
