COLLECTION OF DEBTS.
Bill Providing That Defendant Must
Paw All Costs.


"a bill TO aid and abet collection
agencies to defraud the unfortunates"
is the way some of its opponents style
Representative John Q. stones bill to
amend the exemption law A few days

They provide that in all cases a judg-
ment debtor must pay the costs of
actions TO collect debts. The present
law exempts the defendants from
payment of costs.
Two years ago the same proposition
came uD and it was beaten. 1t was
shown then that some of the collec-
ton agencies, especially one firm 0p-
Grating in Salt Lake, secured judg-
ments by default in out of the way
justice shops and taxed enormous
costs. One case was cited where a
man was sued for $40 in distant jus
tice court. He was notified that the
costs were a certain figure and he
made payment after payment. only TO
be told he had been sued again. until
the costs for $40 judgment amounted
to SS4. Several of the representatives
are preparing to fight the bill.
