4 Growing EVIL In Canada Which

OTTAWA. June 22.--The usury evil Is
assuming such alarming proportions In
the provinces OF Ontario and Quebec that
an effort Is now being made in the Fed

evil. 1t is found to be meter of extreme
difficulty to legisiate against the Insurer
methods of dong business and not en-
croach upon the right of parties TO enter
into legitimate contracts upon such basis
as they may see 1T to agree to. The opera
tions of Canadian usurers, particularly in
the city OF Montreal. Que. are of late
giving abundant reason why this class OF
social octopus should have his scope for
working injury and ruin TO his fellows re-
stricted within proper bounds established
by law.
In 1897 a bill was passed. by the Cana
dian parliament and which was designed
to put step 70 the practice of usury by
providing that the rate Of interest per
annum should be clearly stated on the
