BILL WOULD AMEND
'L0AN-SHARK LAW
introduced After Conference
Between Commissioners
and Citizens.
HAS MANY INDORSERS

An effort is to be made at the pres
ent session of Congress to secure the
amendment of the so-called loan
shark law. whiSn limits the rate of
interest to be charged for loans with
out security in the District. 1t has
been found that under the law the
small loan business cannot be profit
ably conducted. For several years eff
forts at remedy have failed. owing to
strong differences of opinion on the
phrasing of the amendatory legisla
ton.
A bill has now been prepared after
between the Commits
sioners and members of the commit
tee of citizens active in securing the
original legislation and has been in
troduced in the Senate by Senator
Dillingham; and in the House by Rep

Few people realized how much the

while this open exploitation of
poor people has been terminated,
there are still instances In which peo-
/ pie are compelled to make sacrifice in
various ways in order to obtain small
amounts of money in emergencies. At

the citi1ens' committee stated plainly
| to the conferees that the reduction In
the rate would work q hardship on
the poor people whom they were try
ing to benefit, because they would not
! be able to get the money at all. The
truth OF this statement IL proved by
the fact that only one company ever
attempted to do business under the
present law. and that not one dollar
has been loaned under the law for
more than three years. or since this
company gave up the effort at the ex-
piration Of its license on October 81,
1915, because 1t could not do business
at the rate allowed.
