4 Just AND EXCELLENT MEASURE.
THE BILL INTRODUCED AT ALBANY RE
DUCING PAwNBROKERS INTEREST
RATES SHOULD BECOME LAW.

RATES SHOULD BECOME LAW
The bill introduced In the Assembly on Weohes-
day night amending the Pawnbrokers ACT py IT,
ducinr by e-half the rates of interest now iegay
charged on the various classes of loans maze py
pawnbrokers Is a measure which VIII nave INC
approval Of all persons interested In the hlIe'la'ion
of the condition Of tho poor and in the securing o
justice for them. For many years the rate oi III
terest on money and on bonds has been tenu'hs
downward in this state. until now a Lender can
get FOR the use OF his money not over so 10
per cent as a rule Iiut the pawnbrokers rates
have not come down. Here they are: on i"a"
not exceeding 500. per cent month Tor the III 1t
six months and . per cent for each eXceeoihs
month; or 30 per cent for the year. On a loan oil
more than 500 per cent month for the frs' sN
months and per cent month thereafter Or 10
per cent year. . go.
II IS a heavy enough burden 10 pay II per cens
a wear for the use of money. but the imposition OF
the poor-for ii ia the very poor VINO are cohCclieu
i'm the vast majority OF the pAwnDrohcrs liaisic-
tons, borrowing ptiful sums upon their furniture
and clothing and little property, and no aiSuneht
has ever been presented which would justify such
rate. The Mont dc Iete provides loans on very
much easier terms for embarrassed Par1sans ana
thrves at that and the PrOvldent Loan society.
in this city has demonstrated that the business OF
lending money at reasonable rates on pledges can
be carried successfully.
At various times The Tribune has printed
many editorial and news articles which nave SHOWN
clearly that pGwnbrokers' charges ought TO be cut
down without delay.

precise nature OF the alliance. some persons appar-
entity being under the impression that tho trustees

separate body. The Tribune Of YESTERDAY ex-
plained this point carefully AS declared then, the

SOME CHANGES.
New Telephone Company Fills Fred
KrOn's Place.

Another meeting of the directors of
the Mankato Citizens Telephone Co.
was held Saturday evening. The va
cancies caused by the resignation of
Fred Kron as vice president of the
company and as member of the
board of directors were filled by the
election of DR.. j. H. James as vice
president and of W. d. Willard as a
director.
The secretary was authorized to in
vite manufacturers whose Telephones
have been bid upon to send samples
of their phones.
An adjournment was taken until
Wednesday night, when it is expected
that the contract for the construc-
tion of the plant will be awarded and
the bids made public. As'yet, the
directors desire to keep each company
in the dark as to the others bid
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1898-08-12

A good many third district Re-
publicans are disposed to believe that
the reason who "BGb" S. Hughes does
no resign as a member of the board of
county commissioners is because he is
holding onto that office as stake to
some friend whom he wants to re-
ward in the event of his nomination
and election as sheriff. In other
words they think he is using his COM
missionership to trade for sheriffality
support. 1t would hardly seem prob
able that Mr.. Hughes would do this;
but it must be conceded that it would
look much better, under the circum-
stances, for him to resign from the
board and give the Republicans of the
Third district an opportunity to Sc
lect a man Of their own choosing. OF
course Mr.. Hughes expects to be the
next sheriff, and it is no more than
fair that he vacate his present office
in time to allow his successor to be
named in the approaching conven-
tion.

BACK TO SWEDEN.
Carl Jansen will be Sent to His
Former Home.

Carl Jansen, a former private in the
regular army, who has been a county
charge for year and who is suffering
from consumption, will probably be
sent to his former home in Sweden.
The Free Press last winter referr-
ed to the efforts made by
County Commissioner Roberts and
Congressman McCleary to get him
placed upon the pension roll, and the
refusal of the government on the
ground that Jansen did not contract
his disease while in the service but
before he entered it.
Recently, County Commissioner
Graf, who looks after the city poor,
sent Jansen to point in Iowa where
he wanted to 60. The Iowa authori-
ties promptly returned him to Manka-
to. Janson now wants to return to
Sweden. A ticket will cost about $40,
and the county does not feel like pay
ing that much. Therefore, Jansen
has drawn up subscription list and
has had it in circulation to some ex-
tent. He has already secured S12 in
this way, and will probably raise $25
to $50, and the county will make up
the deficiency. 1t is likely that
Jansen will soon be on his way to
Sweden, where he will be more happy
than here. He has been at the hos
pital for a considerable length of
time, and all in all has been quite an
expense to the county, and the Of
ticials shave not known what to do
with him.

All of the Minnesota representa-
tives in congress, with one exception,
have been unanimously renominated
for another term, and in the Third
district Congressman Heatwole will
be renominated when the convention
meets. Minnesota has strong dele
CATION in the house, and is protiting
by the experience Of some of the
eastern states, by keeping it there.
With the present delegation un-
broken in the next house, Minnesota's
influence in congress will be more
potent than ever before.
