REGULATION OF LOANS.
Theme of Address Before Mems Club
by Louis A. Rosafy.
By 7. E: Powers

Louis A. Rosafy, in an address before
the mems society of the Church Of Our
Father last night. urged that more strin-
gent regulations be promulgated to con-
troll the business of loaning money in the
District.
The meeting was held at the residence
of Rev. John Van schaick, 1417 Massa-
chusetts avenue. and was well attended.
Mr.. Rosafy said. in part:
"One of the most pressing and needed
reforms at present is that which en-
deavors to bring the business Of loaning
money to the poor and people in mod
crate circumstances under competent au-
thority.
US. Just as long as sickness, improve
dence, accident, death and other misfor-
tune tell over and over again their sad
story to mankind. just so long will there
be a need for the business Of loaning
money in small amounts to an army OF
working people, who have not the Gre
dentials which entitle them to credit
standing at the banks.
There are now three agencies to meet
these needs. First, the pawnshops; sec
third. the loan on Endorsed notes. in
which no pawn or property is pledged
and where the only security for the loan
Is the responsibility of the maker and
Its a part of the business Of every
man who lends money to investigate ap-
plications, not only with the desire to
safeguard his company, but also to pre-
vent the habit Of unnecessary borrowing.
One of the attacks made upon reputable
loan companies is that they encourage
borrowing. That Is not true. There is,
however, need for the poor man to bor-
row money as much as for the rich man..
I'VE all know that the banks will not
or cannot handle this class of loan, and
IT therefore seems to me that the only
wise and just remedy for the evils Of ex-
tortion which now prevail is honest COM
petition. Meet the usurer on his own
ground and give a better and more
honest service at a reasonable cost. and
the usurer will be driven out of business.
The loan shark is too selfish, unscrupu-
lous and sometimes dishonest He is not
satisfied with getting fair. return. but
takes all that he can get
Il advocate heartily bill on the sub
ject now pending in Congress, which has
already passed the Senate and has been
reported favorably by the House COM
mittee.

Of the French government to establish
an empire in Mexico with Macmillan as
the emperor. At the outset he explained
that he was unable to accede to the re-
quest for "reminiscences. as all material OF
that sort had gone into the book which,
he had published. entitled, Memories of
q Diplomat" AS he had gone to Mexico
as minister to that country few years
after the execution OF Maximilian, and
had made the acquaintance Of many of
those who were identified with the more
fortunate emperor. his account of the
succession of events in that episode par
took largely Of the character of personal
recollections.

The foregoing is but partial re-
view of some of the factors which
tend to maintain the corrupt condl-
lions in the municipality. Whatever
advantages a contemportneous record
may have must be taken along with
the disadvantages arising from the
want of historical perspective. 1t IS
little more than a series of findings
on the more important matters OF
fact which have been brought to our
attention in the fourteen months over
which our sessions have extended.
While the vista of time is necessary
to view these in their just proper
lions and relationship, we feel That
there are some remedies which may
help protect the community till ma
turer and more vigorous public senti-
ment itself keeps in suppression the
evil tendencies and influences we have
pictured.
Pursuant to the request in your
f1OQOI . COllllllbOlOll W vs. w |S'S--0
the following recommendations:
0D Non-Partisan Municipal Elec-
tions-The charter should be so
amended as to prohibit partisan nomi-
nations for election to municipal Of
fies, and the ballot, when printed
should show nothing more than the
name and the office of the candidate.
(2) A Judicial Tribunal for the
Determination of Charges for Public
Utilities-A separate tribunal of a per-
manent character should be establish
ed for the judicial determination OF
the rates and charges for public utili-
ties.
(3) Further Punishment for Bril-
bery-The laws creating the crime OF
bribery should be so amended as TO
provide for the punishment of cor
porations in their corporate capacity.
Very heavy fines should be imposed
and the forfeiture to the State or city
of prior acquired franchises should
be made a part of the punishment.
(D Cancellation of Franchises Pro-
cured by Fraud-Laws should be enact
ed for the cancellatio of franchises
procured by fraud or crime of the own
ers of the franchises, or of their pre-
decessors in interest. These laws
should be of a civil nature, cognizable
in court of equity, so, that the ex-
IRENE technicality of our criminal pro-
cedure will not embarrass their en-
forcement. The Mayor and the Dis
trict Attorney, each on his own mo-
ton, should have the right to initiate
such proceedings in the name Of the
municipality upon which the fraud
has been committed. Their power
should be concurrent with that Of the
State to take similar action in quo
warranto proceedings.
60 Corporations Should be Com
PEELED to Give Evidence Agains
ThemseIves-The law of evidence il
criminal cases should be so amended
that a corporation accused of Grim,
cannot claim immunity from produc
ing or giving evidence agtinst itself
and the testimony of it's officers, ant
all it's documents should be admissible
in criminal proceedings against it, AS

ceived than partisanship, either ma
tional or class, appearing on NUM-
cipal ballot. Municipal issues are
distinct from these other issues. The
common welfare of the city is not
connected with the extraneous ques-
tions. Men should be nominated and
should appear on the ballot without
party designation and should be Sc
lected by the voters in view of their
character, ability and the position
they have taken in mttters affecting
the municipality and on no other
grounds whatever.
