there are hundreds of thousands of

Law KNOCKED OUT
Illinois Loan Shark Act Held Uncon-
stitutionaI by Supreme
Court.
LIMITS RIGHT TO CONTRACT
Man Cannot Evade Payment of Debt
Contracted at an Excessive Rate
of Interest.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 27.-Sections OF
the Illinois laws which pertain to the
assignment of wages are declared in
valid in the decision of the supreme
court in the case of Perry |. Massie
VS.. Charles e. Cessna.
Massie, an employee of newspaper,
made an assignment of his wages as
collateral for a loan at an excessive
rate of interest, and when threatened
with court proceedings unless he paid
the principal and interest, filed bill
claiming that under the statute the
loan was not valid and asked that the
loan be Cancelled The demurrer of
the appellee was overruled by the low
er court and a decree entered in favor
of appellant.
Held UncOnstitutiOnaI.
Section of the exemption laws of
Illinois declare that every assignment
of wages to be collected in whole or
in part more than six months after the
making of such assignment shall be
void. The court holds that this is an
unconstitutional interference with the
right to contract, and that section l
requires in the assignment of wages
or salary burdensome conditions which
do not apply to assignments of other
claims of like character and whose
imposition is merely arbitrary.
Beyond Power OF Legislature.
The statute, as whole, was beyond
the constitutional power of the legisla
ture to enact, it is declared. The de
cree is therefore reversed and the
cause remanded with directions to sus
tain the demurrer. The law was pass
ed at the last session of the Legislature
and was one of the loan shark meas
ures.

beer and cannot be measured as such.
This point was made in decision last
night in a case from Mercer county in
volving the wholesaling law prohibit
ing the sale of liquor in quantities un-
der five gallons.
Ola Nylin, proprietor of a roadhouse
was heavily fined for selling beer in
so-called five-gallon cases. He gave
tickets calling for the number of bot.
ties, permitting customers to take a
bottle or two at time, punching the
number of the tickets accordingly
This the court declared was violation
of law and sustained the lower court
which assessed heavy fines.
Did Not Measure Out.
The contents of the bottles of case
of beer were poured out. 1t was shown
that there were but four and one-hali
gallons in the case. Nylin insisted the
foam should be measured to make the
five gallons. The supreme court de
cides to the contrary.
