BANKERS VIEWS.
The Omaha Clearing House Addresses the
Legislature.

LINCOLN March At he following Is
the communication presented to the
senate and house and signed by all the
banks associated In the Omaha clearing
house:
OMAHA. Feb. 25.-To the Honorable
Senate of the state OF Nebraska-Gentle-
men: We, your petitioners. the banks
forming the clearing house association OF
Omaha. and other banks in said city, re-
spectfully represent and petition a. fol
lows:
Your honorable body ls considering the
adoption Of the amendments Of the laws af
the state pertaining to usury. The banks
signing hereto make no loans at higher
rate than that permitted by law. On the
contrary, the rate OF interest main
maintained and charged by our respective
Institutions, will average much less than
the ma ximum rate. We are. therefore not
directly interested in the matter OF penalty
To be- imposed for violation Of law. We are,
however. cognzant OF the fact that the
maximum now fixed. which + ample for the
loaning operations OF a large commercial
city, IL insufficient for spaTsely settled To-
caltties where the supply ~ capital l. linz
tied In amount. To impose extreme oper-
atiye penalties with the present maximum
rate would result tn the removal of all
loaning capital from such localities and de-
priye borrowers there of "A convenience and
privilege to which they are a. much entitled
as the resident OF "a wealthier community
that OF borrowing money when their neces-
stiles or desires demand g.
So far a. commercial transactions az tend,
we are convinced that the interests of the
borrowers everywher would be best served
by the abolition of all penalty rather than
the imposition OF seyerer ones. Tie prohl-
bitlon conveyed in the present law l. sufs-
client to preyen lending at an Increased
rate, by capitalists who respect the law,
aud. in consequence thereof. the borrower
at such rate Is required to pay not only the
rate the money is worth, but sum addi-
tional thereto 10 cover the risk involved In.
the transaction. IL follows that in prac-
tice, usury laws always act detrimentally
upon the class of people for whose benefit
and protection they are supposed 10 be- de-
signed.
Remove ali prohibition and penalty and
the Law OF supply and demand would have
unimpeded operation and competition
would decide the rate 10 10 paid
We, therefore. respectfully petition and
recommend that you adopt the bill intro
duced by MIR. Taylor-senate file No. 100
which bll repeals the present usury Law
and Is similar 10 the law prevailing la
Massachusetts, aud other states, where IL
has proved to be - the best interest OF the
people to maintain mo- u~ury law.
