WOOD RIVERS RECORD.
II WOULD MAKE MONEY CHEAPER.

1t is stated at Boise, as an argu.
r.cnt against the repeal OF the anti
usury laws, that it would make money
dearer. That is II serious mistake.
If the Limitations to the rates Of in.
ts.rest are removed, so much money
will be sent here for investment that,
in few months, loaners will go a-beg-
gIng Tor sev n pr cent per annum.
The low rates now have the same
influence ca money that prohibition
has on the liq' n traffic. In pr"h,Li-
ton States there is Just as much
drinking as formerly, but it is done
more quietly and costs a great de- !
more. Liquor is abundant, but costs
four times as much as before the en-.
forcement of the prohibition laws.
The Legislators should not lose
sight of the fact that, at prese mt rates,
money cannot be obtained even for
legitimate business purposes.
