Iowa lawmakers still owe salary grab debt from 1929
Des Moines AP reports Iowa legislators from the 1929 general assembly owe the state more than 36000 in refunds and interest under the salary grab act. Only a 30 dollar payment from Byron G. Allen reduces the principal to 336.50. Allen was a Pocahontas county representative. Total disbursements reached 66268 with 34311 refunded and 4438 attorney fees. The unpaid balance grows yearly due to interest. The 1929 legislature approved extra expenses up to 500 for each member in addition to 1000 stipend. The 1932 Iowa Supreme Court ruled the payment unconstitutional and collection efforts followed varied methods. L. W. Salinger and L. W. Powers led the collection for the state.
