increase was from 1855 days a year

in usury cases by or against national
banks, or arising under the federal
statutes.
The construction given Section
5196 L. S. Stat. by the United States
supreme court as above stated, is
also herein held by this court to be
the effect of subdivision two Sec.
1905, supra, while it is the opinion
of the writer that under our proce-
dure, a debtor who has paid the great
er rate of interest on his note, may,
by cross petition, plead such payment
in an action on the note by the party
to whom the interest was paid, other
than national bank, and upon proof
thereof, he is entitled to have the
plaintiffs demand reduced in double
the amount of interest so paid"
This decision makes procedure in
usury cases most simple and effective
When the money lender realizes that
that maker of the note can defend
against the payment Of usurious inter
est and recover in any court as an
offset to the note, double the amount
of illegal interest sought to be
charged. he will no longer risk his
money or the money of the bank he
represents in making that kind of a
loan. And when the money lender
or the borrower realizes that it is the
law that where illegal interest has
been paid, the payer can at any time
within two years begin an action for
the recovery of twice the amount of
illegal interest so paid with the costs
of the action, it looks equally reas-
enable that the charging and cOllec-
tion of usurious interest so paid with
the costs Of the acton,it looks equally
reasonable that the charging and col
lection of usurious interest has be-
come entirely too dangerous game
for any man of ordinary sense to
play at. This definition of the law
and this achievement on behalf of the
people was not the result of any vio-
lent revolution in government or in
the administration OF the law. 1t is
the law, and the supreme court,
through Judge Brown, has, after care
full study, relieved the law of the
doubtful construction placed upon it,
and has given it its full meaning and
made its purposes effective.
This decision ought to end for
some time, at least, the further agi-
tation against the law, and it, ought
to encourage on the part of both bor-
rowers and lenders an earnest desire
to see the present law enforced
where necessary AS a matter of fact
clear court decision of this kind
will have a decided tendency to make
the law supreme and self-operative
It's provisions will be acknowledged
and obeyed with little protest since
its violation so promptly works its
own punishment.

a forfeiture OF twice the amount of
the interest which the note, bill or
other evidence OF debt carries with
it, or which was agreed to be paid
thereon. and following the uniform
decisions of other states under sim
liar statutes, we further hold that,
in a suit for the collection of such
debt the debtor may allege and
prove such illegal charging of inter-
est or agreement to pay the same,
and thereupon it will be the duty OF
the trial court, by proper holding or
instruction, to cause the amount of
such forfeiture to be deducted from
the amount OF the note or other evil
dence of debt sued on, this not as
compensation or an amount due the
defendant or debtor, but for the rea'
son the courts, in such cases, will
not permit the recovery of the for
feiture declared by law, in conse-
quence Of the wrongful act referred
to. We also hold that under the
second subdivision of said section
1905, where the borrower of money
pays therefor a greater rate of in
terest than ten per cent per annum.
he or his legal representatives may,
within two years after maturity Of
such usurious contract, recover from
the person, firm or corporation TAX
ing or receiving such interest, twice
the amount of the interest so paid
provided that before bringing such
suit, the party bringing the same must
make written demand on the party
to be sued for payment of the sum
so authorized by the statute to be
recovered.
The rule just stated authorizing one
who has paid a greater rate of in
terest than ten per cent per annum,
to recover from the party taking or
receiving the same, twice the amount
Of interest so paid, is in line with
the uniform decisions of the United
States supreme court beginning with
the case of Farmers & Merchants
National Bank V. Dearing, 81 L. S.
20, 23, L. Ed 1876, constituting section
5196 L. S. Revised Statutes, supra.
But, as hereinbefore stated, it is
also held by the U. S. supreme court
under the federal statutes, that the
remedy by the debtor for double the
usurous interest paid can be had
only in separate and independent
suit against the parry receiving such
interest, and cannot be pleaded in
set-off or counter-claim in an action
to recover debt on which the interest
was paid.
The decisions of the United States
supreme court are followed by the
highest courts of great number OF
states Chaving similar statutes) and
