Small Loan Bills Propositions No. 3 and 4 are companion measures and deal with small loan businesses. Each provides for an interest charge of 2½ per cent per month on unpaid balance over $100 and less than $300. These measures are being supported by Governor Culbert Olson, Attorney General Earl Warren and other leading men and organizations, the assemblyman said. Those opposed to the bills say they cannot carry on small loan businesses on such low rates of interest and argue that the bills will create a bootleg small-licans racket. The speaker pointed out that the present law provides for a one per cent per month interest rate, but does not limit carrying charges and other similar expenses, which are to be included in the new rates if the bills are passed. Oil Control Act Proposition No. 5 is an oil bill which is designed to replace voluntary proration of oil production with state-proration. Proponents claim that at least 15 per cent of the oil producers have refused to abide by the voluntary proration and have disrupted that type of proration. They contend that the bill is a conservation measure to keep the oil in the ground until needed, rather than to pump it out and store it.

Assemblyman Kuchel did not advocate passage or defeat of any of the measures.
