PUSHING BACK THE LOAN
SHARK’S LAST FRONTIER
Shaded area indicate$ states '
which have /ailed to pass
adequate laws to protect
the public from usury evils.
In nil that territory east. of the
Mississippi river only five states have
failed, so far, tojpass legislation based
on the Uniform Small Loan act worked
out by the Hassell Sage Foundation
after long study of the “loan shark”
situation. These states are Vermont,
Kentucky, Alabama and North and
South Carolina.
In these states the loan shark, else
where generally outlawed and beaten
by remedial loan legislation, continues
to ply his traffic charging often 20 per
cent or more a month. The Uniform
Small Ixwin act requires close regula
tion of the small loan business and in
most states puts a maximum interest
charge for loans of $300 or leas at 3 Vi
j per cent a month. No ffnea or either
concealed charges are permitted and
interest can lie charged only ou un
paid balances.
Any small loan official who violates
the law is subject to fine and imprison
ment and hi* license to operate is
taken away. In states lacking this
legislation the loan shark commonly
violates the usually meager and tooth
less usury laws and boldly exact* tri
bute from his thousands 4ft victims.
W nshington, D. C., has a small loan act
said to be only partially satisfactory.
The strength of the Small loan act
is that it offers something which cor
rects an age-old evil; in other words,
fulfills a necessity.
