HOLDS CONTRACT
UNREASONABLE
Supreme Court Rebukes Colo
RADIO Loan Co.'s Methods in
Dealing with G. 7. Ensign.
METHODS ARE RAPACI0US
DECISION OF LOWER COURT up
HOLDING CONTRACT REVERSED

IAN unconsciOnable contract" says
the supreme court in an opinion yester-
day which involved a transaction be-
tween George T. Ensign and the Colo
RADIO Investment-Loan company, re-
spondent. The opinion was written by
Chief Justice Straup, and is concurred
in by the associate Justices
Ensign, a member of the building and
loan association. applied for 9 loan Of
81, 900. The association arranged with
the Deseret National bank to let him
have $500, and loaned him 500 itself
taking a mortgage on real estate OF the
value, with proposed buildings, of 81 $50
He executed a note to the association
Of $1,000, though he only owed it 500,
and gave a first mortgage to the bank
and a second to the association The
note to the bank was payable in three
years. at Z Der. cent, and that to the as
ISOLATION for 81 900. in 120 months. at o
per cent per annum, and 30 cents on
every 800 thereof The association
agreed with Ensign, but not with the
bank. TO pay principal and Snterest Of
the banks note if Ensign paid the as
ISOLATION the amount. The association
also required the borrower to take out
policy of life insurance.
This was in November. 1901. In De-
ton S70170, and then asked for state
ment of his account. He was then in
| formed that he still owed the bank the
entire principal of $500 and interest,
and that he owed the association S46-9S.
| OF the amounts the association received
it applied s252 to payment of interest
to the bank and S119 to life insurance
premiums. The balance Of s390.10 it
had received was retained and applied
to many things under the contract, so
that it claimed there was still due
| 1858.
At this rate it was computed 1t would
| take fifty years to wipe out the debt,
and ne would have paid $4,000 on the
principal and $4,000 in interest.
/ Ensign brought suit against the asso-
citation, claiming that he had overpaid
on the actual loan $3.50. The assOcia-
ton admitted the payments, but relied
on the contract, which contained many
| things for which the money was to be
paid out that had been overlooked by
/ Ensign. A verdict in favor of the loan
association was rendered in Judge T
/ d. Lewis division of the Third district
| court. and this the supreme court re-
verses and remands the case to tbs
| lower court for a new trial.
I'VE cannot sanction such a conclu-
sion OF ruling" said the opinion, fol
we are of the opinion that such a con-
tract is unconsciOnable.

GOES ON RECORD
WITH REFERENCE
TO LEGISLATION
Commercial Club Favors Pub
lie Service Commission and
Is Against Prohibition.
FORMAL RESOLUTIONS
ARE ADOPTED BY BOARD
DECLARES THAT MEMBERSHIP
OF COMMISSION SHOULD
BE BIPARTISAN.

The two most important measures
now before the legislative assembly OF
Utah. the bill providing for statewide
prohibition and the bill proposing the
creation OF a public service commission
were discussed by the board Of govern
ors of the Commercial club of salt
Lake city yesterday. and resolutions
passed, one endorsing the public serv-
ice commission bill and advocating its
passage. the other condemning the
adoption of a prohibition Dill as being
unwise. but favorins a stringent regu-
lation of the liquor traffic
The meeting was largely attended,
although all members Of the board were
not present. The discussion was wide
and thorough one, and both resolutions
We're adopted unanimously. With ref
erence to prohibition, the board believes
il would be a serious blow to the bust
ness interests OF the state, and would
he ineffective. Regarding the pubic
service commission, the body was OF
the unanimous opinion that any act
passed should provide for bipartisan
commission. no more than two mem
bers from any one national political
Favoring Commission.
Following is a copy of the resolution
4Voring the commission:
Whereas. The commercial interests

taan heretofore. are believed to be i'm
ieratively in need of prompt. adequate
ana positive legislation i'm their protec-
lion and support. for the material ben
ant and welfare of all of its citizens;

''Wheras. There is now pending be
fore the legislature a bill providing for
the establishment of a public service
commission; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the board of govern
css of the Commercial club, Salt Lake
city, Utah. believing that the passage
Oi a bill providing for a public service
commission will be to the best interest
OF the people of this state, hereby en-
oorses the general provisions of said
bill and urges the passage of such a
measure by the present legislature.
This body is, however, Of the unani-
Is:cus opinion that any act so passed
should provide for a bipartisan COM
mission; that is, that no more than
two members should be appointed from
any one national political party
Against Prohibition.
The resolution against prohibition
.cads as follows.
The board of governors of the Com
ilercial club of salt Lake City. Utah.
representing practically every social,
Industrial, professional and business in
tcrest of the state. heartily favors the
rlost stringent regulation of the LIQUOR
