Guaranty Loan Shown as Boon to Depositors - State Van Peterson, Secretary Of Commiseion, Says Nebraska Sys- tmmiseion, Says Nebra tern has Saved $26,000,000 .Columbus, April 23. Nebraska's bank guaranty law has resulted in every depositor in every failed state bank eettiner 100 rents on the dol lar. Deposits returned durintr the last few years have amounted to 126.000,000. The fact that this huge sum. which would have heen Inst tn dennRltnrs had there been on guaranty law, ; was returned to those who had earn ed and whose savings it represented is the underlying reason for the present prosperous condition of Ne braska. Presenting these facts as proof of the tremendous value of the Ne braska guaranty law, Van E. Peter son, secretary of the Guaranty Fund commission, in an address here Thursday, before Group 2 of the state bankers' association, appealed to the bankers to "tell the world of what Nebraska banks have done."

I would not do it In a narrow sense, merely for the pur pose of attracting deposits, but In the broadest possible sense as proof of what a sound financial policy will. do when handled under skillful man agement." Of the total deposits, $26,000,000 in the failed banks, wrich was paid back to the depositors, half of the amount was realized from the assets of the failed banks and the other half was paid into the guaranty fund by the solvent and going banks of the state.
