temptation of the language, any
curIty of any kind. direct cola teral,

the statute is penal and should be- strict

Justice Van Orsde holds the loan shark
law to be remedial and subject TO liberal
construction with the view Of giving it
the force and effect intended by Congress
For this purpose the whole act and not
garbled extracts is to be considered
he suggests.

Justice Van OrSdel. where a particular
remedy is sought or wrong is To be re-
strained, the word security has been ap-
piled i'll its broad sense 10 include prom

specially defines the securities included
within its terms any security OF any
kind, direct or collateral. tangible or in

whether the term intangible security is
broad enough to include every evidence OF

Charge of Discrimination.

Counsel FOR the appellant assailcd the
constitutionality OF the act on the
ground that it discriminates in favor Of
national banks. licensed bankers. trust
companies, savings banks. building and
loan associations or real estate brokers'
The appellate court denies this contention
and points out that the enactment is not
intended to regulate the rate of interest
to be charged generally in the legitimate
business of loaning mon. in thu. District
but to regulate interest rates in the. loan
ing of small sums which had heretofore
been conducted III a manner imposing
SrlevoAs burdens upon d class OF persons
least able to bear them. The wrong to
be remedied, it is suggested, is such as
to bring the sGaject within the exercise

braced within single classified ton and
