Syllabus

<p>SALARY AND LOAN BROKERS.</p> <p>1. Requirement That Brokers Dealing in Chattel Loans and Assignment of Wages be Licensed Held Constitutional.</p> <p>The exception in favor of banks and building associations, found in act 102 O. L. 469 (Gen. Code 6346-1 et seq.), licensing money lenders, does not violate the equality provision of either the-federal or the state constitution, nor does it disregard the requirement of the state constitution that laws of a general nature shall be of uniform operation throughout the state.</p> <p>,2. Provision Requiring Wife's Signature to Husband’s Assignment of Wages Constitutional.</p> <p>The provision of Gen. Code 4364-4, requiring an assignment of salary by one who is married to be signed by the husband and wife making the application for such assignment, is not a violation of the right of separate contract, inasmuch as it is within the police power of the state to protect families from the improvidence of one member.</p>
