MI Stern gives his reasons for the move
as follows:
The poor and ignorant OF the city are
being oppressed, deiuded. and robbed by
class Of people calling themselves .pri-
vate 5allscrs,' Without legal right they
make loans on collateral. on policies. on
personal property, and on salaries

They take personal property IN pawn.

HOW THEY OPERATE.
reliable authorities say that Sam Stern's
statements are correct. The usual. Gus
tom OF these so-called bankers is to
form themselves into Company OF
society In which the applicant for
loan must take stock or "ion." the
usual fee being 81. Then Sc, cents is.
charged for an investigation fee. These
charges are entirely preliminary to the
granting Of the loan which may be re-.
fused. the application and investigation
fees cling retained for the trouble
The loan being granted, anywhere from
10 per cent. 10 100 per cent. per month is
charged. Pawnbrokers have legal right
20 charge 10 per cent. per, month, but
under the laws of Virginia a man having
only bankers license IS liable to prose-
cu:ion for usury II he charges more than
per cent. per annuIll.
Since I pawned my own watch to get
evidence against ono OF these people,
said Mr.. Stern. Il have been beseised
by letters and calls from persons in the
clutches of these sharks. It is for these
unfortunates. for the aid Of the police
in finding, stolen property, and for the
protection of licensed and reputable deal
