LOAN SHARK" LAW
Necessity for Enactment
Shown in Congress Records.
INDORSED BY BOTH HOUSES
Slight Difference in View, However,
Prevents Favorable Action.
EXAMPLES OF GREED CITED
Conditions in the District of Colum-
bia Revealed by Report
on File.

Evidence of the need for a loan
shark law exists in the records of the
Senate and House committees on the
District of Columbia, and the conferecs
of the two houses need only to smooth
out small difference in the bills as
passed in order to relieve the poor people
of the District of a heavy burden. The
Senate knows the need for loan shark
law, for it passed one. The House knows
the need and passed one. The difference
between the two is SO slight that con-
ferees need only to settle whether or not
paWnbrokers shall be included in the
general provisions of the law.
After that, the business of lending
money a personal convenience would
be legaliZed. cleansed of extortion and
robbery; legitimate concerns who spe-
cialize in small loans would be benefited,
while the men who have brought discredit
on the whole race of lenders and who
have made for themselves the name of
shark will be driven out of business
entirely, or forced to agree to obey the
law on the subject.
