Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1972 Page Eight Moss Praises Passage Of Consumer Bill 'What Bonding' Means in the Business World of Today This Must be bondable! in often help phrase appears wanted" ads. Most people not connected with insurance nor personnel work have only a hazy idea of what it means. It really isnt mysterious or foreboding. What the prospective employer tries to convey is that he wants candidates with good employment records and no . record of stealing. Those who have had run-in- s with the law or were involved in a dishonesty loss steer clear of such job offers, says the Insurance Information Institute. Why? They want to avoid an investigation that might disclose that a surety bonding company paid for a loss or made an investigation on a prior job that left some questions unanswered. How does a bonding company insure people? Oversimplified, an employer asks his insurance agent to have an insurer specializing in fidelity bonds give him protection. If the business is small, a bond can be written for just one emblanploye. Usually a Blanket used. is ket bond means it covers all employes except those specifically excluded. One form applies to the position (types of jobs, say, stock clerk, or cashier) and another applies to people. Often the fidelity or dishonesty insurance is one part of a comprehensive crime contract. In both types of blanket bonds the employes are not named in the contract, but the insurer, (bonding company) usually requires each employe to complete a questionnaire so that it can investigate employment records and reputations. The Institute said that this investigation service is regarded by many businesses as worth the cost of the protection. Potential sources of trouble are usually uncovered. No one is grilled or made so-call- ed employe is confronted by his maanger with a request to explain a few points raised by the bonding company, the employe can quickly untangle the misunderstanding or he knows he will be requested not to report back for work. What else does a bonding company do for a firm that wants dishonesty insurance? It writes a contract in which, in effect, it says: I, the insurance company r, promise to pay you, Mr. that your employees will be honest or I will repay your losses up to $ . sustained under these conditions. So, if an employe steals $2000 from his companys safe and the surety is convinced by the evidence that he took it, the surety reimburses the employer.

Wayne Owens Gives Personal and Political Financial Statement In a move to help restore public faith in honest and forth right elections, Congressional candidate Wayne Owens has released a full statement of all his financial matters both personal and political. He also challenged Congress- man Sherman Lloyd and Mark Anderson, who are vying for the Republican nomination, to fol? low his lead.

If an rs Owens blamed secrecy in personal and political financial matters for being a big factor in the erosion of public confidence in elected officials. He said, This kind of secrecy permits many opportunities for political and financial abuses. The Democratic nominee has called for complete openness in the personal and political financial affairs of all elected and appointed federal officials. In his unusual disclosure, Mr. Owens went beyond the letter of the law by releasing figures on contributions received before May 10, and those which are under $100. The Federal Campaign Expense Limitations Act of 1971 says May 10 is when reporting is to begin and that no donations under $100 need to be listed. In addition, Owens says he will be filing financial reports more frequently than the law requires. Commenting on the publics distrust of politicians, Owens remarked, Candidates can do very little to improve the politicians image, but all that we can do, for the sake of our representative political system, we ought to do. If all office holders and all candidates would make these disclosures, politicians would take a giant step toward meriting greater public confidence.
