JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, April
2l.-Gov. Francis to-day ap-
proved Senate bill No. 142,
known as the "usury bill" This
measure has excited great in
terest throughout the State, and
many petitions for and against
it have been received at the
Executive Office. 1t limits the
maximum contract rate of in.
terest in Missouri to s per cent.
and provides that upon proof
of interest above s per cent.
having been paid the excess
shall be credited on the prlnci-
pal. The bill also provides that
liens upon personal property to
secure the payment of indebt-
edness upon which more than 8
per cent. interest may have
been collected or demanded
shall be held illegal and invalid.
The effect of this will be to put
a stop to the exaction of exor-
bitant interest upon chattel
mortgages. In the larger cit
les of the State there is a class
of money.lender who have been
ektorting from helpless borrow
ers on household goods interest
as high as 10 per cent. per
month. These sharks have
been active in stirring up op.
position to the bill among the
smaller bankers and cattle ship
pers throughout the State, who
have unwittingly permitted
themselves to b. used to further
unrighteous ends. The bill
was not to prevent the purchase
and sale of negotiable paper,
as has been charged, but mere.
ly provides effective means for
enforcing an observance of the
interest laws of the Stale.
The Governor also approved
Senate bill No. 3l6, a bill which
compels corporations or indi-
vidualy who may have received
bonuses for locating and oper
ating plants, such as railroad
shops or factories, at places il
this State to refund the bonus
or grants, with interest, wheI
the plants are removed or aban
doned.
