GOVERNMENT DEFICIT | PUT AT $214,518,952 Operation Cost Figures $2,558,768 Less Than for Same Period Last Year, However. By the Assoclated Press. A deficit of $214,518,952 in the cost | of operating the Government from July |1 to August 12 was indicated yesterday |in the Treasury's daily statement. | ‘The deficit, however, was $2,558,768 less than that for the same period last year. It probably will be. wiped out when the installment on 1929 income | taxes is received for the third quarter |in September. About $400,000,000 is | expected then. For the 42-day period of the present| fiscal year the Government collected $183,340,729, or $53,202,509 less than same period totaled $33,802,165, as com- | pared with $42,123,694 a year ago. ‘ "The miscellaneous tax ~netted. $76,- 675,488, about $3,000,000 more than col- | lected in the same period last year.

But with the election fixed for Sep- tember 14, and Germany wallowing in | the trough of its worst political and | econom sis since the inflation days, the older so-called middle class parties which are ruling today are thoroughly alarmed. _Therefore the various groups are rivaling each other in. promises of re- | forp. At the request.fo the minister of the interior, Dr, Joseph Wirth, min- istry officials have finally prepared a| new electoral law whose purpose is to eliminate a number of the smaller par- ties in the Reichstag. Although the, plan is still unpublished. its substance follows: The present 35 electoral constituencies will each be #imply divided into five. Residual votes will be swept into a common pool for each group of five and not, as hitherto, first into the so-called state and then into the reichspool. This will mean a great increase in lost votes, that is to say, votes that are inoperative in elect- ing anybody. Hitherto the greatest number of votes that could be lost by any p; 59,999, since all residual votes have been lumped together to elect candidates from the so-called reichs-list. With the reichs-list abol- ished, it is obvious that each party will Jose an average of 30,000 votes from each of the 35 large electqral groups, or a total of more than 1,000,000. Large Parties to Profit. This means that large, well organiezd parties will piofit immensely at the ex- pense of smaller groups. Only those smaller groups whose votes are concen- trated in specific electoral constituencies will be strengthened. This should mean the virtual elimination of at least a half dozen of the 15 odd groups which now clutter up the Reichstag and an immense increase in efficiency. Furthermore, it will reduce the total number of deputies and also it will be ble for 2 number of old gentle- ho mostly control the party ma- v and select candidates to put themselves in safe places on the state or reichs-list. They, like other candi- dates, will have to fight for re-election. ‘This ought to freshen the political at- mosphere and fits the cry today for more “youth” in the government. It is notable how earnestly all the parties are addressing appeals to young people of both sexes. The electoral re- form, however, is still only a scheme and will not be operative in the elec- tion. It will first go before the cabinet, where it will meet with strong resist- ance. 1f approved by the cabinet, the plan will be laid before the Reichstag and since it leaves the pginciple of propor- tional representation’ intact, it can be adopted by a simple majority. Notable is the action of a portion of the center party which is accepting no candidates except those pledged to the electoral reform, The prospects are that the new Reichstag will be even less manageable than the last and that, after a short trial period, it will be again dissolved. Then it would be obyious to the coun- try at large that only an electoral re- form could render the Reichstag effi- cient and the demand for this revision would be overwhelming. Notable, also, is the sharpness of the campaigning. As predicted in these dis- patches, the present struggle is being conducted with a bitterness hitherto lacking in this easy-going country. The first important fist fight occurred at Nurnberg Wednesday night and others are sure to follow. PETTY THIEF JAILED Theft of Goods Valued at $1.52 Leads to 90-Day Term.
