In 1897 the people of Murdock
who had been worshipping in the
... ' )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

crowds that filled bunting-decked
streets Thursday as Baltimore took a

anniversary of the chartering of the
city.
The day was the first of four de

GOOD RELATIONS RESUMED
Washington Bolvia and Paraguay
Thursday agreed to resume diplo

troversy but one day off, the Para

commission their government's rati
fication of the conciliation formula

The action on the part of the
two Centrol American republics was
regarded by diplomatic circles here
Thursday night with utmost satisfac
tion. The work of the conciliation
commission, headed by Maj. Gen.
Frank R. McCoy, of the United
States, has been followed sympathe

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

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

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
