We do not suppose there will be any objection in either house to the anti-Ioan shark" bill which presented in the senate yesterday. For some years this subject has been treated in a rather crude way and the end was there was treatment at all. The evil survived the crimes of the loan sharks became more fragrant. The bill now pending proposes sys- tematc and scientific treatment. It does not con- template the extinction of the loan shark but the elimination of his more mangling teeth. The loan shark is present a necessary evil with which some time under further enlightened system of govern ment we may dispense. the only of for many persons in distress and must be tolerated though restrained from the more fragrant form of robbery
 This bill will restrain him. Three and half per cent a month which is allowed him is a sufficient in- retain him and he will be hedged about that he can not steal more than that from helpless victims.
 Under the system which he has pursued with it's fees fines and penalties within his clutches apt remain there but for a providential dev erance When the victim thought he had paid the in full with interest which made the loan look small he found that his liability had been reduced. Why it had been he did not know.

We could not go backward or stand stlll There was nothing to be gained by waiting
 High prices of materials constituted temptation to Walt but we pointed out then could afford 10 watt there was no prospect that prices would be lower within long time On the contrary there would probably be a greater demand for all kinds Of material needed in reconstruction than there had been during the period of destruction when construc- ton or reconstruction impossible
 This view has recently been expressed by Joseph
 Otis vice president acting head of the Central rust Company of Illinois who said:
 T have no sympathy with the man who is sittinr Dich' awaiting lower prices. The people who are waiting drastic decline in prices aren't going o get it. they are going to get left In other words do not believe we are going to any immediate and drastic decline in commodity prices There is a world-vvida scarcity of many materials production costs are going to continue abnormally high"
 We think of only one enterprise in p5bit hesitation is warranted and that is in railroad con
