Oregon S O U TH E R N PACIFIC The legislature wa* called in ex tra session, ostensibly, to enact election laws that would cripple the Republican party and insure Democratic success at the com ing election. The Republican party is accused of controlling all the money and it is to be presum ed that this remarkable usury law is a thrust in the dark at the Republican party. The law in question provides, in addition to its being unlawful to charge more than the legal rate, that the officers of the bank shall furnish to the State Bank Commissioner a sworn statement quarterly showing interest charg ed, and in case of any violations of the said laws, double the amount of interest charged shall be forfeited. It is claimed that fhe enforce ment of such a law will put a great many banks out of com mission, tacitly acknowledging that they have been running in direct violation pf the existing laws. The farmers and small borrowers have always been the victims of usury. Wanting to borrow $10 or $20 they are re quired to mortgage property worth ten times that amount and pay $1 for the use of it for 30 days. If at the expiration of that time and the banker is disposed they may pay another dollar and get the day of reckoning put off another 30 days. The howls and groans the bankers are making now is sweet music in the ears of the farmers who are willing to let them howl.
