LOAN SHARK BILL
COMES UP TO-DAY
Numerous Amendments in Measure
Revised by Senator Curtis-0ne
Per Cent Interest Allowed

Senator Curtis will to-day report the
loan shark bill with amendments cal
cuIated to hasten its enactment into Law.
The one great feature for whteh the
House has stood since Il adopted the
measurable payment Of not more than
1 per cent a month interest on loans
will remain In the measure as reported
to the Senate committee, but pawnbrok
ers will be exempted from the provisions
Of the bill.
The first amendment to the so-csllsd
loan shark bilr' Is to the section pro-
Tding that all persons charging more
than per cent per annum must take out
licenses. II is specified in the amendment
that nqyhing in the original section shall
be construed as to prevent any indi-
vidual from loaning the money OF such
Individual at a rate OF interest not to
exceed 10 per cent a year. and no person
shall be required to obtain a license for
engaging in such business"
The next amendment relates to the ap-
plication Of brokerage concerns for bond.
and specifies that the bond must ba re-
newed annually in October on penalty
OF revocation of the license. The third
amendment provides that annual state
ments by loan companies OF their finan-
cial condition must be published in at
least one newspaper.
In section ). limiting the annual amount
Of interest to Il per cent, there Is an
amendment limiting to 500 the sum that
may be borrowed from any one concern.
and additionally providing that II more
than l. per cent a year is sought for
the loan the interest and one-fourth OF
the principal may be deducted
II a government clerk IS involved he Is
at once dismissed from ONCE. according
to the amendment
The last two amendments create a min
imum criminal punishment, which was
left out in the House bill and exempt
pawnbrokers from the provisions of the
act
