Representative Sutton's houso bill No 30, which ban been referrod to tho oommlttoe ot: judiciary, is a very conservative measure and Is practically an adoption of the ICunsns statute on the subject of usurious interest.

It providos, lu ofVoct, tliat a porbon taking, receiving, retaining or contracting for any higher rate of interest than 12 per cent per annum, shall forfeit all interest so taken, none of tho principal being forfeited. Whon a greater rate of interest than 12 per cent has been paid, It mny be recovered by the person so paying, provided that hiich action must bo commenced within ninety days after payment of obligation and iuterest. Representative bill, No. 33, which has been reforred to committee on judiclury, which relatos to usurious iuterest, differs in many respoets from No 32 on the same subject It provides In ciTeet, that any person taking, rocolvlng, retaining or contracting for any higher rato of interest than 10 per cent per annum shall forfeit both prlnoipnl and Interest, and when a higher rato of interest has been paid, that excess may bo recovered by suit within one year aflor payment It nlso provides that a contract in writing to pay attor-uoys fees 01 any other sum, other than ton per cent Interest per annum shall be considered usurious interest and void. It also provides that any one violating the above shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; and provides further that when It Is proven that usurious Interest has been taken, received, retained or controlled for the party setting this up as a defense or cause of action may receive attorney lees for the prosecution or defense, provided that the amount to be recovered as such shall not exceed to per cent when amount does not oxeeed S-'5.

10 per cent over SSS and per cent on all claims over 100; it further provides that commission charges exceeding the sum ot ten per cent per annum shall be void and recovered or may be treated as so much paid oti amount actually received by borrower. Provided, further, that the party paying or contracting to pay sush commission shall not be prevented in defending such olaiui against third party who purchases the Bote before maturity.
