rule. Upon this theory a company has
recently been organized in this city to in
sure the depositors In banks Of all kinds

company proposes for a moderate premium
to guarantee the depositor in any bank
against loss. That is to say, II ones aver
age account in a bank is $1,000, the COM
pany will for a premium Of "a per annum
guarantee the depositor against a loss up
TO $1,000. The depositor thus insured, be-
ing guaranteed against loss. will never Join
in a run" because he knows that under
his policy all he has to do is to get his
book written up by the bookkeeper of
his bank to insure immediate settlement
OF his claim should the bank close its
doors. The theory upon which this COM
pany is established is that with such a
guarantee runs will cease and conse-
quently bank failures will be eliminated in
