Usury Law Takes Effect In Thirty Days
The bill to regulate interest rates has become law and will take effect in thirty days. It fixes legal interest at six percent and allows eight percent for written contracts. Violators face misdemeanor charges with fines from one hundred to one thousand dollars. Farmers back the measure while bankers and merchants opposed it. Senator Ransom’s Southern peace speech drew praise from multiple papers, with calls for harmony and political realignment in the Senate and House.
