Thrush and his VIE were debtors TO the
president OF the bank III the sum OF s5.0O.
and they gave note for that amotInt
with interest at the rate of Il per cenr
This rate of interest was uSJri0us under
the Nebraska State law. and Thrush
asked for a computation OF the interest.
which showed that counting the payment
OF interest as the payment Of principal.
as provided for by the State, the note
had been reduced to 500. The State Court
held this plan To be valid on the ground
that the use was governed by the STATE
and not by Federal law. inasmuch as the
note was made payable to an officer of
the bank and not to the bank itself
Justice Whites opinion reversed the
finding and was favorable to the conten-
