Mobile Senator Will Ask Favorable Committee Re-

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l THE AGE-H ERALD

Senator John Craft of Mobile will make an effort next Wednesday to obtain favorable report of the com mittee on banking and insurance on his bill prohibiting the charging of more than 3h per cent interest a month on loans of $500 and less by persons not organized as banking in- Stitutions and trust companies.
 Senator Craft today said he had requested Senator George W. Dun can. chairman of the committee, to hold a session next Wednesday for the consideration of the bill. which is being opposed by representatives of money lenders.
 T have been told that there is opposition to this bill which desires to be heard" said Senator Craft. T sm perfectly willing for this opposi- tlon to submit it's arguments to the committee. but I do want some &C., uion taken during the next week.
 There is an impression around that those who are interested in the defeat of the bill, those who are benefiting by the present plan which does not attempt to interfere with the interest rates on short loans, are hopeful that there will be no agita tion in favor of the bill and that lack of interest will keep it in committee until it is so late the legislature cannot take action.
 Restricts Loan Sharks.
 If the people of Alabama knew how important is this bill they would appeal to the law makers not to let the session end without action. The measure is not intended to interfere with the legitimate money lending business and 1t does not interefer with such business. But it does re- strict those who have been preying upon persons least able to afford it, those who are forced by diversity to seek temporary financial relief from any person who may be willing to \ give it, even though the relief call fer the payment of a rate of interest which now ranges from 10 to 70 per cent.
 Hundreds of persons now are pay ing this exhorbitant rate of interest. They should be gwen relief by law which will restrict the interest charged at least to 312 per cent a month. At this rate money lender would receive AZ per cent year, when, if the money were borrowed from a bank, the rate would be only s per cent year.
 The legislature should take some action during the present session for the relief of the scores who have been oppressed by the activities or one class of money lenders"
 o O o
 Money Lenders To Fight.
 Senator Craft said the money lenders have retained attorneys who have come to Montgomery for the purpose of opposing the bill and the bill regulating the assignment of wages. The latter bill would pro- hibit a person from assigning wages earned or to be earned during any 50 days period for any purpose other than groceries, house rent insurance, medicine and medical attention.
 The assignment bill was introduced m the senate by Senator Hildreth. Representative Howze introduced III the house a bill similar to Senator Crafts bill limiting the rate Of ln- terest to 3ls per cent month
