USURY NOT
CONFINED To
SMALL BANKS
PRACTICE MORE PREVALENT IN
SOUTH THAN IN NORTH -
SOME BANKS AVERAGE 25 TO
so PER CENT.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Evidence in
possession of the comptroller of the
currency that many national banks
are charging usuriOus rates of inter
est is being placed before the house
rules committee in the consideration
of the resolution by Representative
Howard of Georgia for an extensive
inquiry into the question of interest
rates. Comptroller Williams appeared
before the committee and supplement-
ed his previous charges with more
detailed information concerning the
practice of some of the national bank
ing institutions. It developed that
small loans We're not the only ones
upon which the banks charged excess
i've rates, but that the practice was
recorded upon large sums as well.
Three banks in Texas, according to
Mr.. Williams, have been charging an
average of % to 50 per cent per year,
and one of them averaged 40 per
cent. one Georgia bank had 10000
loaned at 24 per cent, one Oklahoma
bank had $4,000 loaned at the same
rate of interest and several large
loans were made by Texas nationals
at that figure and more. The comp
troller added that on some small
loans 800, 1000 and even 1000 per
cent interest had been charged. 1t
was explained that usurious practices
were prevalent in the southwest and
south, more than in any other sections
of the country, although in every
state in the union, save in five or six
which have criminal state statutes in
force. violations of the usury laws
had been admitted. About one-siXth
of the national banks in the United
States were guilty, he said, and in
states where there was only civil
penalty, seldom was there any en-
forcement of the law.

GAMBLING BILL FREAkISH
AND SOCIALlSTlC, SAYS KELLER

Oklahoma City, Jan. 25.-The anti
gambling law was characterized as
"freakish and socialistic," by Senator
r. A. Keller of Marietta, who was
aroused Tuesday by remarks of Sen
ator C. l.. Edmonson on the absence of
senators Saturday, causing failure OF
the emergency clause on the new law.
Edmonson called attention of the
lawyer-senators to the 1915 act which
made it impossible for court to force
a member of the legislature to appear
in court during a session.
Senator Keller, who is lawyer, took
up the challenge.
NO one knew about this session of
the Legislature ten days before it met.

Cancellation of Charters.

The chief reason for non-enforce-
ment of the statute lies with the
borrower. the comptroller said, who
fears that if he complains or seeks
the recover the amount of the usur-
ious interest he is placed on the black
list. The only remedy at the com
mand of the treasury department is
the institution of suit to cancel the
charter of bank While this is
drastic method, the comptroller said
he was considering it against certain
banks.

One or two bills are pending be.
for congress to deal with the inter.
est question. Bankers have contend.
ed that in the making of small loans
the same amount of work was en-.
tailed as though the loan was large
one. and that unless they were able
to get their cost and a profit out of
the transactions, the small borrower
would be denied banking privilege.
Not until the hearing before the rules
committee was it known that usury
was practiced on any but small loans.
To meet the complaint Of the bankers,
Senator Gore has a bill before the
banking and currency committee di'
recting that the attorney generals de
partment bring suit against the Of
Tending bank for the full amount of
the interest and the amount of the
principal of the loan for the benefit
of the government in cases of usur-

The Gore bill requires banks TO

but also the opportunity afforded for
generating broader sympathy and

represent by descent all the nations

for this Thanksgiving service point
