Interest and Usury Bill Expands Idaho Building Society Powers
A bill introduced by Senator Donnelly proposes amending Idaho statutes to let building, loan and savings corporations issue stock to members up to 200 dollars, accept deposits, and assess dues and interest. It allows withdrawal after a year or twelve installments, with proportional refunds minus losses, and limits withdrawal fees after 30 days notice. The measure also permits loans to members at not over 10 percent per year with installments, and declares such contracts not usurious. An emergency clause is attached, plus notices of attachment and stray livestock ads appear in the same announcement.
