Law aims to end usury with new tax on lenders
A proposed Texas bill by Representative Brown would tax loan sharks at ten thousand dollars to the state and five thousand to the county and require fifty thousand bond. If passed the measure would force most small lenders out of business and curb high interest rates charged on loans to the poor. An alternative plan proposes a Short-Time Loan Association offering low-interest loans to needy residents.
