In . recent bulletin OF the Legal Aid Society, OF
New York attention is called to frequent com
paints against the iniquitous methods of the loan
companies which enable them to collect 90 per
cent and even 100 per cent, interest from their
unfortunate victims by various eVasions OF the
usury law sThe law which went INTO erect on

forced against the salary OF the judgment debtor
where such salary IS more than Sl2 week, seems

these concerns. The only absolute protection
AGAINST this abuse says THE Legal Aid Re
view is IA law making IL crime to charge
more than per cent interest upon loan secured
by an assignment of wages. The re-enactment
of such law is much needed. and II Is hoped
that public opinion will be directed toward the
massage Of such d law at the next session of tine
