LOAN SHARKWAR BEGINS
DISTRICT ATTORMET CAUSES RAID
OF STATE SECl'RITV COMPANY.
Rate Card of Vatlon-Wlde Concern in
Falling Building Shorts Short Loss
Interest Csirge Over 10O Per Cent.
War on loan sharks was declared
yesterday by District-Attorney Evans.
Accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Lar
fleld, Walter .Seren, of the District
Attorney's office, raided the offices of
the State Security Company. In the
Failing building;, arresting the mana
ger. E. E. Ware, on a charge of taking
illegal Interest and seizing the office
records.
Ware now is out on bail and his trial
In the District Court probably will be
held tomorrow. The clerk in the office
has been subpenaed to testify.
The State Security Company is a con
cern with a chain of offices in 20
cities, extending from Boston to this
coast. The company Is operated by the
Western Msnagmg Company, with
headquarters In Milwaukee. Wis. J. A.
Wiesen is said to be the proprietor.
According to the State Security Com
pany rate cards short time loans pay
an Interest rate in excess of 100 per
cent a year. For example. $100 loaned
for three months may be repaid at the
rate of $42 50 per month, or a total of
$127.50. For six months, the loan of
the same sum is paid at the rate of
$24 per month, or a total of 1114.
The operation of such a business is
is violation of the law, which limits
all concerns which do not procure li
censes to interest charges of not more
than 3 per cent a month. It is under
stood that the management of the
State Security Company has directed
that no license be secured here and
that the constitutionality of the law be
tested.
PENSION REBATE IS ISSUE
Court Ruling on Fund's Validity
Leaves $52-15.10 Up to Council.
Whether or not members of the de
partment are to receive back a total
of $5245.10 which has been paid Into
the police pension fund recently de
clared to be unconstitutional by the
State Supreme Court, is to be decided
by the City Commission at its meeting
today.
Policemen have paid into the fund a
total of 1 per cent of their salaries for
more than a year. Inasmuch as the
fund to which they contribtued has
been wiped out by the court decision,
it is contended they are entitled to a
refund of the entire amount paid In.
The Council will either decide upon the
refund or will decide to hold out the
sum of 50 cents a month for each po
liceman to apply to the old police pen
sion fund which is still in effect, and
refund the difference.
CITY TO ASK
POWER TO MOVE INTERUHBAN
LINE TRACKS ON NEED WANTED.
Portland A Oregon City Railway Fran
chise to Come Up Today, When
Chance Will Be Sought.
An amendment to give the city power
to require the company to move its
tracks from street to street as traffic
conditions necessitate is to be pro
posed by City Commissioner Brewster
In the franchise sought by the Port
land & Oregon City Railway Company
for an interurban line from Oregon
City to Portland by way of the East
Side. The measure will be up at the
Council meeting today, but Mr. Brew
ster will ask for a continuance until
he has time to frame his amendment.
The route of the proposed line is
over a number of important East'SIde
thoroughfares. Mr. Brewster says the
city should have the right to force the
company to move to some other street
In case traffic along its route becomes
so heavy as to cause congestion. The
company, it is said, will oppose the
amendment on the ground that It would
be impossible to float bonds or secure
loans on its property with the power
resting in the city to force changes
which might go so far as to put the
company out of business.
Air. Brewster will also ask for an
amendment to give the city the Tight
after 25 years to buy the .property of
the company within the city without
having to buy the entire system.
