VICE OF MONEY BORROWING
Efforts to Clip the Claws Of Moder,
Shylocks.

Edorts to Clip the Claws Of Modern
shylocks.
The Western Union Company has
adopted a drastic remedy in New
York for the curing of the borrowing
habit among its employees and the
suppression Of the usurious money
lenders who encourage the vice for
self gain. Operators who are addicted
to borrowing and patronize the Shy
locks are being weeded out of the
service. The practice Of paying orders
for salaries given to the money lend
Ars as security for the loans grow
into an intolerable nuisance. 1t Is
assumed that the discharge Of the
borrowers will drive the usurers out
Of business. 1t may have this result,
but 1t is doubtful. The only effect it
will probably have will be to discon-
dnue the use Of the cashiers office
as collection agency, for money
lending on these lines is too profitable
to be easily relinquished by the men
engaged in it.
1t would doubtless be a great boon
to every large corporation In the
country If the habit of borrowing by
its employees could be permanently
abolished. The corporations doing
business in this city are afflicted by
the practice. The usurious Shylock
Is In evidence in the neighborhood of
the cashiers window every pay day
to collect his pound of flesh" And
the warrant shaver is the curse of the
City Hall, where the vice Of borrow
Ing from professional money lenders
who carry their offices in their pockets
has grown to enormous proportions.
If the history Of many Of the defal-
cations and entertainments in private
and public service could be fairly fol-
lowed in nine cases out of ten prob
ably the foundation for the crime
would be traced to the act Of borrow
ing from one of these accommodating
money lenders to meet what may
seem ava urgent necessity at an out.
rageous rate Of interest and the en-
barrassments which the act subse-
QuNhIy CACdACu. 1ueTc are times IN
the career of most wage-earners when
they must borrow to bridge over per-
iods Of financial distress. This is or
dinarily the professional usurer's op-
portunitY and he seizes it with avid
ity. Once his prey is in his net he
keeps him there as long as he can
continue to collect his victims wages.
The latter Is seldom allowed to escape,
and each month makes it more diff
cult to get out of the tolls which are
constantly tightening around him. If
this kind Of borrowing and money
lending could be effee. Ally stopped
it would be Il blessing to society and
it would doubtless remove one of the
chief sources Of anxiety of employers
regarding those occupying positions of
trust in their establishments. 1t would
certainly go far toward elevating the
standard Of honesty in the public SER
vice.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A NEW MONEY ORDER.
Designed to Guard Against Mistakes and
Irregularities.

The United States government has in
PRODUCED new money order system
which IS great improvement over the
old. The department has had consider
able trouble with the old system, because
a gang Of money order sharks have
travelled through the country buying up
small money orders which they would
increase and present to merchants dur
ing the closed hours of the postoffice
The government was losing large sums
of money yearly by this method and de-
termined to stop it. There is strip
down the side Of the order, which when
it is torn off, indicates that the original
sum Of the money order does not exceed
a certain amount, so that the amount
cannot in anyway be increased. The
name Of the sender and the amount is
placed on the face Of the order. A report
sent to the office where the order Is to
be received gives the clerk a chance to
identify the order before it is presented
and to make sure he can ask the name
of the sender. II he is then uncertain
in the identification of the party present.
ing the order, he can require that he be
identified Some government officials
do not like the new system, but those
that are truly familiar with the bust
ness are very much pleased with it.

INDEPENDENT TELEPHONES.
Convention of Vermont and New Hamp
shire Companies at WoodsviIle last
Thursday.

| A convention Of the independent (non-
Belly telephone companies Of Vermont
and New Hampshire was held at Hotel
Wentworth, Woodsville, ". IT., last
Thursday. There was a large attendance
present from all parts of both states.
| The object Of this convention was to
form an independent telephone associa.
| ton OF all companies in Vermont and
New Hampshire, The aim and purpose
lof the association being To cement to-
getber in firmer union all independent
telephone interests in this section for
the purpose of promoting uniformity Of
operation, maintenance and construction I:
to protect and defend all independent
| telephone interests BY moral efforts, co.
| operation and such other available means
| as may be deemed advisable; to prevent
the enactment OF hostile legislation and
any and NIL other purposes that are
deemed to the best interests of the as
ISOLATION and of the independent tele-
phone movement and the people.
An organization was formed and the
following officers elected: H. w. Buch-
anan, Barton Landing, president; G. ID.
Eastman, Woodsville, n. H., vice presi-
dent; G. W. Buzzell, st. Johnsbury, VT,
secretary and treasurer. There were
twenty vice presidents elected to serve
as committees of arrangements The as
ISOLATION will be called the Vermont and
New Hampshire Independent Telephone
Association" and they invite every in
| dependent telephone man and company
to cooperate with them in this good
work
The National Interstate Independent
Telephone association emblem, adopted
at the national convention held in Chi
Cage, last June, was adopted, These
emblems are in the form of shield
seventeen and eighteen inches across !:
colors, red, white and blue, and read
Independent, Local and Long Distance
Telephone and are to be placed at all
Independent offices and toll stations.
The Independent movement will have
made great advance when this emblem
/ is displayed at every pay station in the
country and the significance of it is
understood by the telephone using peo-
1 pie Large lots of the signs will be orr
dered at once Other meetings are ar
ranged for the near future.
This organizing OF the independent
telephone companies fills a long felt
want. Nearly all the southern, middle
and western states have organizations
of this kind of their own, and there is
a national association made up of all
these states. The National Independent
Telephone Associations last meeting
was held in Chicago last June and there
was represented at that convention more
than three millions of the Independent
telephones from all parts OF the United
States, and we are informed that this
is about twice as many Independent
phones as there are of all others in the
country. 1t is expected that the time
is not far off when the Independent
companies will have trunk lines from one
end OF the country to the other. st.
