Abstract

The results of the 1950 census are of great importance to every public official in the state of Iowa. These findings may determine his salary; the size of his constituency if he is an elective officer; the need for new ordinances and legislative acts required by law on the basis of population shifts; tax rates, and public expenditures. The extent of state aid to municipalities is in some measure determined by population and the amounts of federal grants to the states are determined to some extent by population. In this booklet dealing with the effects of the 1950 census, Professor Dean Zenor has brought together the latest reports of the 1950 census and has described ways in which these will affect many aspects of government in Iowa based upon a count of the people served.
