While ostensibly complying with the state laws regulating savings and loan associations, not one ‘sucker’ out of fifty understands, when he subscribes to 10 or 20 shares at $100.00 each, that 2 per cent of his total subscription goes into the pockets of these human sharks as a ‘membership fee.’ We have antecedent information, concerning many of these promoters, in our files that proves them to be nothing more nor less than ‘crooks.’ Two of them were convicted and fined $500 each in March, 1909, by Judge Rudkin of Spokane, for using the United States ils to defraud. It was held, in the decision, that while the contract was not fraudulent their misrepresentations by word of mouth and letter, were criminal. Both these men are connected with a savings and loan association right here in Seattle today.” : The above is from a report of the Northwestern Credit association. Yet, in spite of this common knowledge concerning the crooked and grafting operations of certain “fly-by-night” savings and loan associations, eight members of the legislature from King county, by their votes, sanc- tioned a continuance of this legalized crookedness. Mark their names well—they constitute the “ROLL OF DISHONOR.” ROBERT E. DWYER. FRANK H. RENICK. ROBERT GRASS. F. W. MESS. JOHN R. WILSON. WALTER LUNN. STEVEN HULL. FRANK H.
