Weaver's Assembly Record Provokes Legion Criticism
The Champaign Post of The American Legion at Creston passed a resolution protesting Des Moines State Representative James B. Weaver delivering a Memorial day address there. Weaver's record in the Thirty-ninth General Assembly showed support for the bonus and tax exemption bills, no vote on the soldiers' preference bill, and opposition to the boxing bill. The legislative committee noted his age influenced his stance on the tax exemption bill to avoid jeopardizing the bonus bill's passage later.
