JARRES IS LIKELY
TO SUCCEED EBERT
Big Business Candidate in
Lead for Presidency of
German Republic.
BY EDGAR ANsEL MowRER.


BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BERLIN, March 11.-Former Chan
cellor Marx, former minister of the
interior Jarres and a possible dark
horse from the Democratic side are
the most likely candidates for the
German presidency, but the outcome is
still entirely uncertain.
Startling is the candidancy of Gen.
Won Seeckt This candidacy has been
denied. Certainly it cannot be taken
too seriously but it is known that
he told some of his supporters that
If other candidates fail he might con-
sent to take the job ito again save
Germany"
Backed by Military.
Gen. Won Seeckt's candidacy is up
held by the steel Helmet" an order
of younger Germans, and other se.-.:-
militaristic organizations of con-
servative and Fascist youths, many
Of whom are trying to advance his
cause by pointing out that he is the
man who saved the republic in
November, 1923. But it would be
difficult to convince even Germany
that the all-powerful silent dictator,
who has played such decisive part
in all public affairs in the last several
months, Is a convinced Republican.
ist. He is much more like Fascist
dictator of the Mussolini type. 1t is
noteworthy that Mussolini. in his un-
official contact with Germany has
preferred to deal with Won Seeckt
rather than with responsible Germa
leaders. The world could hardly
misjudge the candidacy of such a
man as one capable of leading the
pacifcally minded German people
back into the common fold of ma
tions.
lister, whom the Democrats seem about
to nominate, is g. Bavarian and a
Catholic, but he is not Democratic.
He is generally considered to be
nothing more than Won Seeckt's rub
ber stamp.
The big business or Peoples party
wants Jarres. and it seems that Jarres
of all candidates today has the best
chance.
When Marx received a majority of
one vote in the Prussian Landtag on
Tuesday the slight possibility of
Saving Prussia for the repubiica''
again appeared. Marx will seek to
form a cabinet made up partly of Re-
publicans and partly of bureaucrats.
II this plan fails he will form cabinet
composed entirely of bureaucrats
: Notable, however. is the absence of
Herr Severing, the Prussian minister
of the interior, who is unquestionably
the bulwark of the German republic.
The fact that he has been dropped
signifies that another and not the
least important obstacle to the re-
storation of the reactionaries has
been removed.

LIFE INSURANCE
IS FAVORED

II Paso. Texas, Nov. GA special
committee on insurance, appointed by
President Gompers, and consisting Of
President Vol Of the Photo Engrav-
ers and President Perkins Of the
Gigarmakers, made one Of the most
interesting Of the mary able reports
to the A. F. Of l. convention.
The report showed TIA; the life IN
suranee companies Of this country are
collecting in premiums one billion
dollars more than they return 10 pol
icy holders. This does not include
profits on their investments.
The insurance business is increas-
ing at an astonishingly enormous
pace" the report said. This industry
Is second in value 10 the farm prod
ucts, and in so years, according 70
some statistieians, the insurance COM
panies will be in position to control
all the industries of the United
States. At the present time the com
bined assets of these companies are
approximately $4,000, oo00O0 These
assets are in cash or the equivalent
Of cash and is invested in the bed
roek, underlying and controlling Sc
curities of the nation.
The report declares that the insur-
ance companies "have become one of
the most powerful economic, social
and political factors in the United
States
Profits on the capital stock of these
concerns range from Is to % per cent.
The stocks have frequently increased
100 per cent in one year because of
excessive profits, although the large
expense of these companies is one Of
their greatest evils. Few companies
show an expense ratio of less than 20
cents out of each dollar of premium
received, and not a few companies
have an expense of 40 to 80 cents out
of each dollar of premium received.
"Life insurance is the safest and
surest business in the whole world. IL
requires no great capital to start, and
having the American experience table
of mortality rate as a guide, il can
not fail. There is no risk. II is much
safer than banking and less intricate
and much easier to control
Included in the report are state
ments by insurance authorities who
assisted the committee. One of these
authorities said:
"There is nothing occult or even
vague about the life insurance bust
ness. 1t does not even require the
analytical, discriminating judgment
necessary to the conduct of the bank
ing business. The laws governing
life insurance are well defined. They
have been established by many deci-
sions interpreting them, and a new
company could not easily be discrim-
mated against. No investment in ma
chinery or goods, or in credits, is re-
quired; even the capital required to
engage in the business may be re.
tanned and invested in income produc
ing securities"
The A. f. of l.. committee declined
to make definite recommendation as
to the details of labor Insurance en-
terprise, but declared that 1--WE have
been convinced and fully persuaded
that it is not only advisable and safe,
but almost the duty of the unions
jointly to adopt some form of proper
insurance. However, we are opposed
to have the A. F. of L., as such, actu-
ally engage in the insurance bust
ness"

The glamor and romance of a
European circus provides the color
full interesting back ground for 'He
Who Gets Slapped" the Victor Sea-
strom production which opens at the
Weaver Theatre here Saturday, Dec.

This unusual picture, adapted
from the play by the noted Russian
author, Leonid Andreyey, is set in
the locale of Continental hippo
drome, with clown as the central
character.
Interest surrounds the production
because of the fact that Victor Sea-
strom. the prominent Swedish direc-
TORI filmed it for the Metro Goldwyn
Mayer company as his second Amer
lean picture. Like Lubitseh, Bucho-
wetzski and the other foreign pro-
ducers, SeastrOm proved immensely

John W. Morton, the well known
Firestone dealer in Mountain Home.
Figures were produced on tire prices

eve hear great deal about the
300 or 400 per cent increase in the
price of crude rubber, but in the face
of this the prices of Firestone tires
are about one-half what they were
few years ago.
But this does not tell the whole
story. The average mileage of the
tire has doubled since the prices were
at the top figure. At one time $500
miles represented a good average,
while today $4,000 miles and more
are not unusual

are easily understood Concentrat-
ed production, specialized machinery
and simplifed factory methods, to-
gether with economical distribution

by Firestone to break the foreign

duct in tire manufacture. Land is
