The bill introduced In Congress the other day
for the incorporation OF a Company TO become
surety for United States officials OF whom bonds
are required, or one somewhat like it. ought TO
become law. Its scope should be enlarged
however. so al TO authorize the company to
guarantee any person filling a trust of any
kind, for the faithful discharge OF which or for
the proper disbursements OF money bonds have
10 be given, whether such person be a United
states Official or hot. The business IS fn the
nature OF insurance, and the company might
well Dc allowed 70 accept or reject sucn risks as
may be offered. aud with varying rates OF
premium charges, Just as insurance companies
do. Looking at the matter from the other side
TINS IS the way people who MI such positions
ought 10 furnish their security, as THE STAR
mas heretofore pointed out. They are the bened
ciaries. and they should be willing to paw for
the security they are required TO give, instead
OF asking their friends and business acauaint-
anHes to become responsible for large sums of
money In cases In which they generally have
no interest whatever. A man has lust as poo6
grounds TO ask his neiShbors TO insure his house
against fire or his vessel against siukLng "a to
become pecuniarily responsible for his good BE-.
haytor.
