BERLIN SEEKS BEST
MAN FOR U. S. ENVOY
BY Carl y. Groat,

ov SdCl ~. CrO6C,
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Berlin, Feb. 1.-Business man
economist or glad handler?
German authorities mulled ove1
those three classes today in consider
ing possibilities for the next German
Ambassador to the United States. High
hopes were expressed that peace be.
tween the two nations will be declared
shortly after the new American ad.
ministration begins to function. Ger
many wants to be ready for an ap-
pointment so that relations may be
resumed as soon rs possible.
Nations previously resuming ordi-
nary relations with Germany have re.
ceived business men as ambassadors
from the former empire. Berlin has
drawn heavily on the big concerns at
Bremen and Hamburg for her repre-
sentatives. One Of the most common
ly mentioned names in connection
with the Washington appointment is
that of Director General Heiuecken
of the North German Lloyd Co.
Heineclen resigned from the COM
pany to prepare for the appointment,
but later asked that his name not be
considered. Later the foreign office
sought to induce him to reconsider.
The success of scme German pro.
fessors in bringing about good feeling
in other countries has led to the sug-
gestion of several lanes. The men
talked of most frequently are known
to have had pacifist views and to have
had no connection with the old re-
gime.
A wealthy man probably will be
named when the time comes. The pay
under the present conditions is eX.
ceedingly small and the appcintee
must accept a portion of his remuner-
alton as the glory accrusing 10 the
office.
The American who comes here rs
ambassador will find conditions far
different from those surrounding
James w. Gerard, tho last head of the
embassy here. There is no brilliant
court life now. In fact, the social side
will be almost entirely missing. Presi-
dent Ebert entertains occasionally
but in a very simple way with none
Of the lavish decorations and exotic
dishes which marked the kaiser's
banquets. Among the diplomats
there also is lacking the customary
social life Of European capital.
Most of the men are swamped with
work. -,
The American representative will
be especially busy. The American
mission has been conducting many in
designations and compiling data
However, when the ambassador ar
rives he will lind many problems con-
fronting him and requiring business
ability and diplomatic skill

LEGISLATURE OF

with Indications that the solons would
face one of the heaviest calendars in
many years.
Legislation 10 carry out provisions
of the federal woman suffrage amend
men was tho only subject Of none
than state wide interest in prospect
at the outset. Elimination Of tho
world male" in the state election law
wherever it cur is expected to be
accomplished with little difficulty but
one clause of the statute presents q
problem which while not regarded as
insurmountable is expected to he dis
cussed at length. The present law
contains q, provision tina no person
shall pay the poll tax OF another and
it has not been settled just what in
depreciation tao lawmakers would
place upon this as relating to a man
and his wife.
Reapportionment of representation
in the legislature is regarded in the
state as one Of the most important
. subjects to be disposed Of. Nothing
toward this end has been done since
ratification Of all amendment to the
constitution in 1881 providing that
membership should be reapportioned
every ten years to conform to chang
; es in population. A later amendment
providing for one representative for
! each new county created has been OBJ
| served. however, and the house now
| contains II members.
Revision Of tho tax laws. legisla-
| ton to conserve the states natural
resources, tho establishment of fish
hatcheries and m preserves in or
der to restock the streams and for
ests, the creation of a state publicity
bureau. revision of highway Inc traf-
fc laws. a law requiring the fencing
of cattle ranges and the usual at
tempts to create new counties are
among the more important subjects
in prospect.
The senate contains SO members
and both branches of the legislature
are solidly democratic.
