A very important bill before the
Legislature is the one fixing the rate
Of interest on money. It is straoge
that our Legislatures will psrsist in at
tempting to regulate that business. In
this section, at least, We infinitely pre-
fer that it should regulate itself: The
proposed law is sufficiently iron clad to
satisfy the most pertiuacious medlers.
It makes Seven per cent legal interest
but allows twelve per cent on contract,
and sll judgments draw the rate Of in
terest expressed in the contract.
The following are two of the provis.
ions Of the bill.
"Provided, that if any person, eth.
er for the loan or forbearanoe Of any
money upon any contract, mortgage or
evidence Of indebtedness Of any kind,
charges, takes or receive either direct
ly Or indirectly, by himself: his agents
or attorneys, in money, goods, lands
and tenements, or things in action, or
upon contracts founded upon any bar
gain, sale or loan, merchandise. goods

itor's tees (other than allowed BY stat
utes), or in any other manner whasev.

cent. TO tho person who shall sue there
