Kendall Replies On Bonus Bond Sale In Iowa Campaign
In Des Moines May 31 Governor Kendall responded to Republican candidate State Treasurer Burbank about handling Iowa soldiers bonus bonds. He disputed claims that delaying sales saved taxpayers large sums, noting the council never ordered 5 percent sales and the market later yielded about 4.35 percent after a delay. The governor argued earlier projections of large savings are unreliable and that prompt sale could have altered outcomes.
