Christian Church Elects.

The monthly meeting of the Off
cial board of the First Christian
church was held last evening at the
parsonage. There was fun attend
ance and important business was
transacted. On account of his ILL
ness, which has prevented his active
participation in the work of the
church for some months, w. j. Pons-
ford resigned as trustee. though he
still continues as one of the elders of
the congregation. w. w. Payne was
elected trustee to fill the vacancy.
On the board of deaconesses there
were two vacancies caused by the re-
mOval to Denver of Mesdames 7. l..
O'Harra and II. Benton The newly
elected deaconesses are Mrs. A. b.
Gilbert and Mrs. T. c. Bullock.
The report of the church treasurer
showed the regular receipts for Feb
ruary were over 5000, which was the
best months showing for year or
more. For nearly five years the La
dies Aid Society of the church has
been paying for the parsonage at the
rate of $27 per month. 1t was de-
cided last night to relieve the ladies
Of this burden, so that they might de-
vote their attention more fully to the
social and spiritual life of the church
and community The remaining
small Indebtedness on the parsonage
and a floating debt of about five hun
dred dollars will be refunded in one
straight loan to be secured by mort
gage on the parsonage. The church
building is free of incumbrance. 1t is
thought that this loan can easily be
taken care of little later. Relieved
Of the heavy monthly payments for
time, the church will be in excellent
financial condition, and its income
will easily meet the running ex
penses
Nine members have been received
into the church since the first of the
year. and many others have signified
their intention of entering the
church fellowship at an early date.
The Sunday school has been making
most encouraging growth, and all
indications point to a prosperous
year for this congregation.
Previous to the business meeting.
thirty-five of the officers of the
church and their wives were enter
tained at dinner by Rev. and Mrs.
Moses. An interesting feature of the
menu were the place cards which

prevent excessive Interest charges as
are constantly practice1 all over Colo
rado. The highest interest that can he
charged under the hill is ~ per cent

Another feature of the measure is
that compelling every person lonning
money to take out a state license Of
$50 n year The license must receive
the approval OF the state bank exam
lner and expires on Oct. of each
year. Licenses must be displayed by
the money loaner in a conspicuous
place so that a prospective customer
may be apprised of tne fact that he is
bona fide "lOaneE"
An applicant for a license must have
published in a newspaper three con
secutiye weeks the fact that he has
made application for the same to the
bank commissioner. Protests to the
Issuance of licensa may be made by
any person TO the commissioner who
must hold public hearing upon such
protest before issuing such license
Another provision of the bill is
stringent. The applicant must file
with the bank commissioner a bond
for $1,000 with two sureties. mat he
will observe the laws relating to the
loan business.
The license under the law. will lapse
within thirty days from October |, I'M
less renewed and shall be declared
cancelled by the bank commissioner.
Another feature of the proposed new
law is that every person conducting
such business shall keep i register on
which must be shown in English the
amount OF money loaned. the date
when loaned and when due, the per-
son to whom loaned. the character of
security. the interest charged. and i'm
fact. every detail Connected with the
transaction. The register is to be
open for the inspection of the bank
commissioner at any time between .
in the morning and in the afternoon.
Money loaners must make an an
nual report to the state bank commits
sioner on or before Jan 20.
No loan greater than $500 shall be
made to any one person. Should Ii
cense be revoked for cause. a new Ii
cense cannot be issued to the same
person within a year.
For violations of the law a fine of
from S25 to $500 may be imposed. or
a jail sentense of from five to thirty
days may be assessed for each offense,
or both fine and Jail sentence may be
lodged against an offender Prosecu-
tions are to be brought on complaint
of the bank commissioner by the dis
trict attorney in the district where
such offense is committed.
The enforcement of the law is placed
in the hands of the state bank
The bill was introaucei for the pur-
pose of stopping the pernicious prac-
tices of many money sharks that op-
crate all over the state of Colorado.
In many instances interest charges
double the principal before the debt is
and the class who fall vic
tins of the loan shark can little af-
ford to pay the e1oTbitant rates
charged. it is believed that if the bill
is reached it will have little opposi-
tion in the legislature.
