THREE DIPLOMATIC
POSTSARE VACANT
Warsaw, Ottawa and Athens
Appointments Unlikely Be-
fore Election.
Nv thu Assoc,ated Press

By the Associated Press.
Three important diplomatic posts
Warsaw, Ottawa and Athens-are
vacant, and officials here see little
likelihood they will be filled before the
presidential election.
A likelihood is seen that two Of the
three posts will be filled with ap-
pointees from the foreign service as
there is reported to be dearth of
wealthy applicants for embassies and
legations.
The Warsaw ambassadorship has
been vacant since John N. Willys re-
signed six months ago to take over his
business interests In this country.
1t is not regarded as likely that any
regular career diplomat will be made
Ambassador to Poland. Only a man
with considerable private income can
afford to take the post, and the men
in the foreign service with adequate
private incomes are not numerous.
Neither do they show any disposition
to resign from the foreign service to
take appointive posts, with the prospect
that a change of administration would
terminate their tenure.
Kellogg Reported Discussed.
Ottawa and Athens, both legations.
are posts which it seems likely may
be filled eventually by regular members
of the foreign service in conformity
with the policy Of advancing career
men.
Since the resignation Of Hanford Nc
Nider as Minister to Canada there have
been many rumors as to his possible
successor. 1t was even reported that
Frank B. Kellogg former Secretary Of
State and now a member of the Per-
manent Court of International Justice
at The Hague, was being discussed for
the post. But no basis for this rumor
could be found.

Latvia. Skinner is career diplomat.
who was consul general at Paris before
he was sent to Greece, and 1t is re-
garded as likely that the post will
again be filled by a regular member
of the foreign service.
Like other departments, the State
Department Is now exercising the
strictest economy in an effort to live
within curtailed appropriations. The
legations which are without ministers
and the Warsaw embassy are in charge
of career diplomats whose salaries are
considerably below those of ambassa-
doris or ministers. It is expensive to
move diplomats and the State Depart
ment is counting its money carefully
and avoiding all unnecessary travel ex-
penSes.

for two days time TO give every one
a chance to get their brcaths and the
author time to catch up with his actors
and director who are hot on his heels.
Progress of this picture is a very
important thing in film circles today
since the success of the Barrymores in
"Rasputin" will be the turning point
for the costume picture revival. If this
finn goes over as producers anticipate,
veritable food of the costume thing
will occur. Every studio has one or
more stories ready to hurl into pro-
duction-but of late there has been
general belief that costume stuff was
too much OF money risk.

Propose Compulsory
Hail Insurance Law

The unfriendly majority OF the 1881
session of the legislature ignored the
departments bill and enacted the
present law, which embodies the opin-
ional listing and practically the fea-
ture requiring payment of previous
taxes contained in the departments
bill, without the latter's most essen
tial clause, that of reestablishing the
hail tax as a prior lien over all other
liens and subsequent mortgages.
Continuance Means Death
To continue under the present law,
in Olsness' opinion, would kill the state
hail department within a short time.
An outright compulsory hail law
would ensure the absolute status OF
the premium tax, making 1t constitu-
tional. as inferred in the supreme
court decision, and would be by far
the simplest and most economical
to admsnister Olsness believes. With
the present coming system 1t should
prove equitable as to premium rate,
but 1t also has its drawbacks.
Something must be done and the
next legislature must choose, Olsness
said, between the two alternatives
suggested.
The cumulative result of these
handicaps has been to sharply reduce
the acreage protected by state hail
insurance and the volume of business.
The drop was from 6,446954 acres in
1890 and 1902, 684 in 1881 to 1,161 ,912
in 1882. Revenues showed even heav-
Ter shrinkage, falling from $2,063, 1868
in 1890 and $1,2l3,137 in 1881 to $475,"
967 this year.
The difficulty faced by the depart
ment in suggesting a compulsory in
surance law is the Discrimination of
some persons to participate in it and
the claim that they are being forced
to do business with the state against
their will. Another source of trouble
was in the ratings accorded various
counties Or districts.
Benefits are Outlined
The benefits to be derived, Olsness
pointed out. are that the compulsory
feature would restore the hail tax to
its former position as a tax, under
his Interpretation of the supreme
courts ruling, and would materially
reduce the cost of protection to every
landholder, as well as the operating
costs of the department in proper
ton to the acreage insured. He is OF
the opinion that the measure would
prove popular if the ratings of vari-
Gus areas for hail insurance premium
purposes were made equitably. He
contends that this can be done by
reason of the wider experience which
the IA years of its operation have CIV
en- to the department.
But whether or not the proposal is
made, the commissioner indicated, de-
