SHARK VICTIMS
MERE CHATTELS

81 Because the machinery of the
loan sharks operating in Tacoma
depends almost entirely upon
bluster and bluff, there are wage
Farmers in this city who haven't
been free of the grip of the sharks
for ten and often fifteen years.
The old feudal or baronial GUS
tom prevails with the loan shark
gentry; when one of them dies
or retires to enjoy his riches he
simply turns over to his successor
the fat, dividend paying list of
his victims; the helpless, hopeless
army of workers who seem to
have no definite way of escape.
81 Here is an instance of the sys-
tenn as it Is worked:
In 1906-about six years ago
"a railroad brakeman borrowed
$50 from the Estate Security Co. "
which now has an office in the
California building.
Il The man paid up more than $40
on this loan-he having agreed
to pay two dollars a month inter-
est.
AS is usual with the sharks, the
victim received no duplicate OF
his note. He might have signed
away his life, for all he knew.
The shark carefully kept his hand
over the upper part of the note.
Well, this victim lost his job
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-11-08

through illness. Two years after
ward, he got another job and
went to see the loan shark.
Imagine his astonishment to
find that new man was running
the office and produced a note
for FIFTY dollars with the date
of 1907, instead of note for
THIRTY dollars which the victim
supposed he had signed in 1906.
Furthermore, the victim was
coldly informed recently that he
had better settle up and when he
offered payment was told that ne
must do his business with the
company's lawyer.
Following the loan shark
stories in the Times, this victim
called on the company's lawyer
and that worthy offered to scale
the remaining Charges" down TO
thirty dollars.
True, this victim borrowed the
money six years ago. But he has
always stood ready to pay the
full loan and the legal interest;
this couldn't be considered at
all' prior to the expose of this
company in the Times.
However, the "State Security
Co." is willing to settle now for
$50, not caring for any pub
licity," just as the D. H. Tolman
outfit is settling with its victims.
