City Seeks to Impose digh
License on So-Called
loan Sharks.

Far-reachinp results are expected in
an opinion to be handed down shortly
by the Supreme Court OF the united
states at Washington in the case OF the
City of Richmond against Bradley
known as the LOAN Shark Case. IL
has been argued and submitted. and
an opinion may be handed down any
Monday during this term. The case
not only has a general bearing on the
business of loan Offices or private
bankers charging in excess OF the legal
rates of interest on unsecured small
Ioans, but IL also involves large consti-
tutionaI questions of. the right OF the
city to use the taxing power for police
regulation.

the list of license taxes for various
classes of business, imposed license
of 500 per year on private bankers 40

A New Approach.

In the past religious teachers have en-
phasized patience and submission in deal
ing with questions Of evil. The poor have
been eopsolcd ~ by the promise of riches
to be inheri. j in the future life. The
suffering have been told of "a land where
there will be 10 pain" But the subject
OF evil must be approached from more
rational side, that OF resistance and pre-
vention. Poverty is largely result Of
social injustice. Sickness is largely a
result Of ignorance and negligence. There
are experiences which call Tor patience,
but often it is mans duty to fight rather
than to submit.-Unitarian Publicity
Committee. -Advcrtisement.
