Editor outlines expedited Iowa code revision plan
Des Moines November 19 state editor Ora Williams urges cutting committee numbers and adopting special rules to speed code revision. He argues for a streamlined 8-10 member per chamber system, immediate reference of 253 code bills, even bill distribution, and early hearings to finish code work within 80 days after the January 10, 1921 session. The piece stresses efficiency, fewer sessions, and minimal last‑day congestion.
