State Supreme Court Rules That High Interest is All Right Over Line in Washington

BOISE—A note for $425 drawing 12 percent interest after it had been compounded, executed at Lewiston by C. B. Brown and W. S. Mood in favor of John Zimmerman, but made payable at Wilbur, Wash., was held to be legal and payable by the state supreme court Friday.

Under the Idaho law, a note cannot be compounded and usurious interest makes the interest illegal. The laws of Washington permit the recovery of court held that since the note was made payable in Washington, there was no violation of the Idaho law, although it was drawn in this state.
