Detectives Among the Tramps.

Probably no doubt exists in the mind of
the general public that the average tramp
is thief as well as a nuisance, but the
authorities of Massachusetts have taken
the trouble to ascertain the facts as they
really exist A number of detectives have
been sent out to travel with that numerous
class of human beings who perambulate
and peculate to such an extent as to be-
come matter of State concern in almost
every part of the country. The detectives
who are among the tramps do as the tramps
do, making no effort to obstruct them in
the commission of their petty crimes, nor
to arrest them for anything done. The
object is to obtain knowledge of tramp
character as it is when unrestrained, and if
possible to report some way in which the
State can successfully deal with the tramp
problem, a problem which seems now
very far from solution. 1t has been dis
covered-if it may be called discovery
that the great body of tramps are pro-
fessional thieves, generally operating in
gangs under the directions of a chief,
having their duties regularly assigned
them, who are to beg, who are to steal,
what is to be stolen and from whom.
What this will lead to remains to be seen,
but if it is followed up and crime receives
its just punishment, the prisons of Massa-
chusetts will have to be enlarged.

Tho House Of Representatives Of Illinois
i.avo ordered to third reading bill fixing
8 per cent as the highest ra.o Of interest TINT
shall be legal In this State oveu by contract.
In the absence Of o contract, intercst shall be
Gpcr cont. This Is bill which hos boon
presented at each session Of tho Legislature
for many years. The theory Of the bill IL to
mako money "cheap" by limiting the rate
Of interest. Tle bill is, however, incom.
rlcte. 1t should make It u penal oYouso to
refuse to lend money at 8 per cent. More
over, If NANCY is 10 10 cheap, 10 cheap "a to
be put within tho reach Of auy person, ia not
= per cont entirely too lnucA7 The bill rests
upon the theory tint money can always be
hal ut whatover tho law may ax us tho ,naxi.
mum rata Of legal iuterest. II this be cor
rect, anl the wl,olo bill ressa on TINT as-
sumption. then why not fix tho highest legal
rate Mt 8 per cent : Then money will bo COM
patatively cheap. Eight per ceut interest IL
greater than Ia now asked for loans In this
city. For u,ora than year past money has
been freely offered on mortgage at 7 per
cent. 4 million Of dollars eau 10 borrowed
on mortgage at that rate today. These
money.lenders ara now authorized by law to
tako 10 per cent, and the money could be
had as per cent, eyenif the law allowed the
lender 10 take 10 per cent. The law has
nothing to do with the matter, Money ls
worth precisely that rats Of interest which
eau be obtaiued for it,-uo more and no less.
The only effect OF passing such law IL, that
whenever money shalt be worth 10 per cont,
then It canuot la had In Illinois without q
resort to expedients which will bs costly to
the borrower. Thus, when prcsen. ,uort-
gage on farm for 4s,000. at 7. 8, or . per
cent. falls due o year hence, when money IL
worth 10 per cent, how IL tue mort
gage 10 10 renewed Or extended? In
tho first ptace. the legal rate Of
8 per cent will he exacted, and the differ.
enca between that aud the value Of the
money viii! b. put In the shape Of commits
sions and other chaxgss. ranging from II to
per ceat. Tho alternative will be fore-
closure. II " absolutely absurd to assume
that when money IL worth 10 per cent 1t will
be loaned at y per cent. Ths Inv may ex.
clude loapable money from the State, but It
cannot reduce the 1ate Of interest. AIore-
