Not Valid security.

Des Moines, June 15.-Attorney Gen.
eral Remley has just rendered de.
cision which will affect many insur.
ance companies. He held that secur.
tiles deposited with the auditor OF
state could not be made worthless by
the action of persons interested in
them; also that securities so depos.
tied could not be withdrawn when two
or more companies decide to consoli-
date.
1t has been the practice for some
companies to deposit notes with the
auditor of state. The gipers Of these
notes in many cases make payment
to the company and take receipts
against the notes, leaving the latter in
the hands of the auditor of state to
serve as securities. The attorney
general says this system must cease;
that persons making payment direct to
the company and permitting their
notes to remain with the auditor of
state in the manner named should be
required to lose the amount so paid.
The decision means that the securities
deposited in the office of the state
auditor shall be in fact what they are
in name. By no manipulating or
scheming, says the attorney general
should the value of the securities re-
quired by law be lesseped.
