lation against loan sharks' was
given today by the state assembly
with refusal to reconsider previous
passage of the Wollenberg Small

a rate above per cent on loans
UP to $100 and 2ls per cent from
$lO0 to $500, with no other charges

Gov. Culbert Olson has placed

has passed the assembly and Is
before the senate; the Shelley bill
has passed the senate and is before
the house, and the Wollenberg bills
now go to the governor. All the

Assembly defeat of a bill which
