of Washington
Gallinger Bill Favored.

The legislation which was urged by all
of the speakers is the bill introduced
in the Senate yesterday by Senator Gal
linger of the Senate District committee,
upon the recommendation Of the District
Commissioners. In following the best
laws of states which have such legisla-
ton. and the latest ideas of those who
have investigated the money-lending bust
ness of the country, the Commissioners
have suggested law that will provide
for the licensing of money lenders. for
their regulation by Congress and by the
Commissioners, and for maximum
charge of per cent a month interest,
with no extras. And several Of the
speakers urged that citizens of the Dis
trict who favor such legislation make
their opinions felt on Capitol Hill when
the legislation comes up for consideration.

GRAFTON Of Remedial Loan Agencies. who
described in detail the operations of the
extOrtionate money lenders and Of the
remedial loan associations; Arthur H.
Ham of the Sage foundation, who pre-
scented legislation and remedial loan So
cieties, with low rates, as the remedy
of the evil complained Of: 8. NJ. Rey-
nolds of the Baltimore News. who de-
scribed the results of a reporters in
vestigations OF eXtortionate money lend
ing In the Monumental city, and Com
missioners West and Mcfarland, who
urged the necessity for the legislation
which the District heads have recon-
mended TO Congress.
Views of Commissioners.
ION the eve of my retirement as Com
missioner said Mr.. West, Il have no
prouder recollection than that / have
endeavored to do something to remedy
the conditions regarding the men know
are rightly called loan sharks While
no law has been passed. bill has been
framed that will go. far to remedy the
situation.
People have TO borrow money at
times; but their necessity ought not TO
be an occasion for preying on them.
When the time comes. as il has when n
man borrows 500 and gets only 500, 10
when he pays $3.50 for the first month
on S9O, when he pays $3.50 the second
month on $50. until he pays $3.50 on
$40 we have reached a condition that
is a disgrace to the National Capital"
After describing the features Of the
proposed law recommended by the
commissioners, he said that the Iecis-
lation must be followed by the or
ganization of loan companies that will
loan money at a fair percentage of
profit.
Commissioner mcfarland expressed
the hope that the club would not rest
with the adoption of resolutions favor
ing the proposed legislation. but chat
1t would see that there was as large
an attendance as was present last
night at hearings before the Senate
and House District committees to urge
the measure. The legislators on CaSf-
toll Hill, he declared, want to do their
best Tor tpe National Capitol and they
want to know what public opinion here
