Syllabus

<p>Insurance (1) — Authority to do Business — Indemnity Insurance. An “Automobile Insurance Exchange,” having complied with Rem. Code, § 6059-85, for the organization of “interinsurers,” brings itself within the definition (Id., 6059-2) of a “company” authorized to write insurance, and is such a company within Laws 1921, p. 341, §5 [Rem. Comp. Stat., § 6391], requiring surety bonds from a company licensed to “make liability insurance,” for all automobiles transporting passengers for hire. [See Rem. Comp. Stat., §§ 7033, 7130.]</p> <p>Same. Subdivision 13 y2 of Rem. Code, § 6059-83, having been added to the insurance code, expressly authorizing motor vehicle insurance against liability resulting through operation of the vehicle or transportation, the same falls within Laws 1921, p. 341, § 5 [Rem. Comp. Stat., § 6391], requiring jitney surety bonds from a company authorized to “make liability insurance,” easily and radically differing from the class of subdivision 6, § 6059-83 [Rem. Comp. Stat., § 7128], covering employers’ liability insurance.</p> <p>Judgment (214) — Bab—Scope op Estoppel.
