' )k odist organization was effected and a church building was erected, L. Neit zel being very material in the rais ing of the funds and getting the work and also working hard for the success of the new enterprise. A strong church was formed and much good work done for the best con ditions of the community. The first minister was the Rev. C. L. Meyers and who died but a few years ago. With the coming and goings of the people those who affi liated with this particular organiza tion left town and others came and .i nether ehurrh was organized, aril the membership of the first church dwindled and later the building was sold and became the possession of Otto Miller. For a number of years the church building was used as a school room and later a residence. When Mr. Miller became the own er of the building he having decided to make his home in town and let the Bon conduct the farm, he is hav ing the structure torn down and will erect a residence on the spot where the church with its hallowed memories formerly stood. The work nf tMrlnp rlnwn th bnildiner wa in progress iast week and the erection of the new building will be com- jnenced soon as the. ground can be cleared. i E. W. Thimgan Very 111. B. W.

Always something cf interest in the Journal Want Ad department. Unsound' is the Answer of Sen. Rodman Attorney General, Legislator Express Views; Thousands in State Hear Arguments. Columbus, Sept. 12. Merits and demerits of the Nebraska bank euar- anty law were debated here Thursday before several thousand nersons bv Attornev General C. A. Sorensen and State Senator James A. Rodman. The attornev general took the af- firmative and Senator Rodman the negative of the question: "Shall the bank guaranty law be retained in Nebraska?" Not only did thousands hear the rants will De made as rapidly as pos discussion in Columbus but thousands jsible. more listened in as the debate was broadcast by KFAB, the Buick radio station of Omaha and Lincoln. Sorensen Opens. The two debaters lost little time in getting down to the fundamentals 9 tlaAiiB(lit A f tArnAw flflti oral Sorensen opened with a 50-minute affirmative argument. He was fol lowed by Senator Rodman for 50 min utes. The attorney general was then given 20 minutes for rebuttal. Sen ator Rodman closed the debate with a 10 minute 6peecn. "Retain the bank guaranty law in Nebraska, at least until the 50,000 depositors In faired state banks have been paid in full," cried Attorney General Sorensen. "Repeal the bank guaranty law immediately," replied Sen ator Rodman. The guaranty law is sound in prin ciple and has been of inestimable benefit to the state the depositors and the banks, said the attorney gen eral. 'Counter Attack. Unsound in principle, unfair, un- Just and of no material benefit the Danic guaranty law nas iaiiea iu every state where It has been tried, countered Senator Rodman. Through page advertisements, cir- culars, letters and speeches, on checks, deposit slips and bank win- dows the state bankers have broad- cast the fact that depositors were protected by the bank guaranty law, declared Sorensen "The law required that they post signs saying they were oper ating under the bank guaranty law." replied Rodman. "A small but powerful group of state bankers, grown rich from the benefits of the guaranty law are now trying to wreck it. The bankers should be required to pay their just obligations," said the attorney general. "The bankers cannot pay the existing deficit. The interest on the $20,000,000 deficit will more than absorb the guaranty fund assessments If they are made in full," retored Senator Rodman. All through his arguments Attor ney General Sorensen endeavored to show that it was failure to properly administer the guaranty law and the post war crash and not the law it self itself that . caused the present conditions. ; Staggering Sums, Depositors have been paid the staggering sum of $16,000,000 out of the guaranty fund, said the attor nev general. The law has been in force for 19 years. The average year ly assessment levied on the banks of I the state during that period has been less than four-tenths of 1 per cent. I Tn other words a bank with S 100.000 net deposits has paid less than $400 n von r fnr thn henefitn ncrlTM from u, - the bank guaranty law, he maintain ed. "There is much talk about the banks paying out such a large percentage of their capital stock to the guaranty fund. The cap ital stock of a bank has nothing to do with the guaranty fund as sessment. That is levied on to the volume of deposits and is paid out of the earnings of the bank," said Sorensen. The attorney general said there was no question about the state banks being able to continue meet- ine the assessments. He said the aaaesamenta were riAither confiscatory nor burdensome Bankers are under an obligation nlin in cr,,Mnw fund svs- Xrr "1' ,7Zr Z. ; paid in full, Sorensen declared. The deficit can be cleared up and it should be paid. In State of Coma. State Senator Rodman devoted much of his argument to a history of bank guaranty legislation in other states, citing facts to show that the nvstem hart failed in eterr state where u has been trie extent in Ne- braska and Mississippi. "It is in a state of coma in Nebraska and in 1931. will be buried with appropriate cere- mnniea hv the state lep-istatiire " cried Senator Rodman. I He said that in South Dakota the f lflcI !

Tax Revenues Not Decreased by Reductions Automobile Repeal and Theater Cut Made Up From Other Sources Washington Repeal of the ex cise tax on automobiles and modifi cation in the admission tax last year did not reduce the total funds which rolled into the government coffers from taxpayers, a preliminary state- ment of internal revenue collections from the Treasury department mai- icaies, Total collections from all sources during the fiscal year 1929, just ended, were $2,939,054,375.43, an increase of 148.518.S37.6S over 192S. A total of $190,164,359.48 was refunded to taxpayers for collections illegally collected, Robert H. Luca3, new commissioner of internal rev enue, states in his report. It cost the Government $1.17 to collect each $100. the same as the cost of opera tion last year. The loss of revenue resulting from repeal of the automobile tax and reduction of the theater tax was more than offset by an increase in collec- tions trom otner sources. The income tax is the Govern- ment's largest source of revenue. Last W it brought into . the Treasury $2,231,274,428.64, or $156,701,- 325.74 more than in 1923. These re- ceipts include payments of the third and fourth installments of the tax on the returns of net income for 1927 and the first and second installments of the tax on the returns of net in- come for 1928. together with, addi Itional collections made for other years. New York paid the largest share f the tax collected on estates, with Pennsylvania. California and Florida following. All estate taxes collected amounted to $1,809,907.51.
