BOWMAN FLAYS
SMALL LOAN
SHARK"
Early Passage Of Measure to
Fix interest Rate Favored;
Alley Elimination Backed

Representative Frank L. Bow
man (R.), West Virginia, mem
Der Of the House District Of Co
lumbia Committee, will press for
action at the coming session Of
Congress on two measures which
he has introduced-one the small
loan bill and the other the alley
elimination bill.
Mr.. Bowman was In Washing
ton for q few hours only and
returned today to his state where
he is engaged in the campaign.
The small loan bill, which has
the backing Of the Russell Sage
Foundation. was the subject of
hearings before the District COM
mittee last session. It's chief op-
ponent was Representative Flo
rain Lampert, Of Wisconsin. who
was killed this summer in an
0AOObAONAAC eANNkAOAAV'
Alley Bill Backed
Hearings were also conducted
on the alley elimination bill,
which is backed by Col. U. s.
Grant, Of the National Park and
Planning Commission.
Referring to recent arrests here
Of 'loan sharks" who are charg-
ing exorbitant fees, Representa-
tive Bowman said:
The Small-lOan bill should
become . law quickly. It is
needed in Washington. II Is
my understanding that some
unlicensed loan sharks here are
exacting outrageous interest,
amounting to 200 or 800 per
cent per year, out Of Govern
ment employees and others In
temporary financial need.
The fellow in need Of q
small loan rarely has banking
connections and collateral. It

him. The interest rate car.
ried in my bill is 315 per cent
per month as . maximum.
"This interest rate appears
high to some ObjectOrs, but il is
not when it is considered that
the average small loan is $1OO
and that the interest is steadily
reduced as the loan is curtaiIed
month by month. These loans
are not handled by the banks
at 6 per cent and . reasonable
interest must be allowed small
loan companies IL they are to
enter Washington and do bust
ness, because they take certain
risks and losses.
"The plan has worked well
in q number Of States and I
shall press for this legislation
at the next session."
