The Scheme Didn'f MateYiaIize
The Central Life Assurance Company Has Been an Object of
Attack But Found TO be All Righf

Some time ago Insurance Commits
Sioner Perkins instructed the Central
Life Assurance society Of the United
States at Des MOines, Iowa, that they
must cease writing certain policy in
this state, known as their guaranteed
income bond endowment policy, to
which exception was taken on the
ground that the policy was vague aud
so drawn that it might deceive those
who were taking out the policy into a
belief that it was straight life policy.
President Peake, Of the society, went
to Pierre and after conference with
Commissioner Perkins, in which the
whole matter was thoroughly cam
vassed, the order to cease writing this
policy in this state was rescinded, as
the explanation by President Peake
N ade it plain that no effort was being
made by the company to use the policy
without full explanation. and that
there was no intent to in any way de-
ceive in the manner in which the pol
icy was printed. The whole matter

pany standing just as it did in this
state before the order had been issued
