Would Cut Election Expenses.

A number OF changes in the Mary
land State election laws that aim TO
bring about a sweeping reduction in
expenses were proposed by the Balti-
more County Election Supervisors.
The changes were suggested BY w.
Evans Anderson, clerk to the Super
visors, who states that if they are
adopted by the legislature the election
expenses in Baltimore county would
be reduced $4,000 year and in other
counties of the State proportionally
The changes in the laws include
elimination OF publication OF such
long lists as the new voters. the r.
fused. erased and deceased voters and
printing of sample ballots such as the
party organizations usually supply in
ample abundance. Other changes
would allow 125 ballots for each 100
voters. abolish registration preceding
a primary election and have elections
not oftener than every two years.
Mr.. Anderson says: There are 9th.
er minor expenses which can be elm.
mated. but under the existing laws all
this printing, publishing and other
matters must be done. The election
laws should be so framed as to throw
every safeguard around elections. but
not 10 be burdensome and cause the
elections TO be so expensive as they
now are"

tion expenses but were not yet pre-
pared 10 commit themselves to any

Ryan Purchasing Agent.
Annapolis.

Annapolis
Governor Richie offered the ap.
pointment OF State Purchasing Agent
to William L. Ryan. Mr. Ryan &C.
cepted.
Mr.. Ryan said he would take over
his new duties as soon as he has been
relieved of his duties as Collector OF
Customs by Charles H. Hoffman. This
will probably be this week.
The Governor and Mr. Ryan held a
conference in which the work OF the
Purchasing Agent was discussed Mr..
Ryan said he would be glad to under
take the work and he promised co
operation with the using authorities
of the State. II has been generally
felt that the lack of such cooperation
hitherto has been responsible in large
measure for the difficulties which the
Purchasing Agents Office and the us.
ing authorities" have encountered un.
der the new system OF centralized buy
ing.
Mr. Ryan said further that he would
be glad should it be desired, TO meet
with the committee OF seven which
Governor Richie recently appointed
to discuss plans for establishing the
Purchasing Agents office on such "A
basis that buying could be done to the
greatest advantage and with the least
friction.
The salary of the Purchasing Agent
is fixed. not by law, but by the Cen
trail Purchasing Bureau, of which the
Governor is chairman. and which is
composed of heads of important State
departments. The salary of the late
Albert II Weir. whom Mr.. Ryan sue.
ceeds, was $4,000 q year. In his an
nouncement OF the appointment the
Governor did not touch upon the ques.
ton of salary, but the general impress.
sion is that the amount will remain
al $4,000 a year. As Collector of Gus.
toms. Mr. Ryan's salary was $1,000 a
year
Governor Richie expressed gratifi
cation al Mr. Ryan's acceptance of the
appointment. The Governor seemed
especially pleased with the attitude OF
cooperation which Mr. Ryan mani
tested.

Hitting Atlantic Gulf.

attacking of Atlantic. Gulf and West

Whenever there is a meeting of direc-
tors or Of the executive committee the
stock Is run up a little and then, after
the meeting has been adjourned and the
announcement made that only routine
business was taken up and that there
was nothing new with respect to the at
tempted financing. the professionals step
in and hit 1t a new crack. The story
which most recently aided the advance
of the stock was that Mexican Petro-
leum probably would purchase the oil
properties OF Gulf and thus make H.
nancing for the latter unnecessary. Pub

DEFLATION SEEN IN

Morgan Firm Member Says
Germany Is at Initiation Peak.

Dwight w. Morrow OF ]. p. Morgan
e. Co, who returned yesterday from
abroad, declared that conditions in Eng
land and France. economically, are
much sounder than they seem. but that
conditions in Germany appear consid-
erably better than they actually are.
Both France and England" ne said,
ARE going through the same kind Of
an industrial depression as has pre-
vailed during the last few months in
the United States-decreased demand
and falling prices. While II may not
be possible to speak optlmistically about
conditions in either France or England.
the pessimism expressed by most OBJ
servers Is not warranted.
Frances exports are about balancing
her imports. which. Il seems TO me. ac-
counts for the steadiness in French
exchange In the last few months when
France has been receiving fresh credits
but has actually been somewhat reduc-
ing her foreign debt.
"In the last fiscal year England has
covered all OF her current expenses
without mourning any new debt. besides
substantially reducing both her domes-
tic and her foreign debt. Germany APP
pears at the height Of inflatoin. Eng
land has begun deflation, and France
has really stopped initiation"

ASSERTS HARVESTER IS
VICTIM OF WALL ST. LIES
Mccormick Denies Refinonc-
ing Plan Is Needed.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO. April Although the In
ternational Harvester Company put into
effect to-day a wage reduction of from
to 20 per cent. there is no reason to
believe that its financial position is not
secure. In q. statement issued tonight
Harold L. Mccormick. president of the
Harvester Company. puts forth these
facts and charged New York with being
the fomenting and abiding place of IAN
organized campaign" TO affect the COM
pany's stock and lay it open to bear
raids in Wall Street.
Mccormick denies reports that the In
ternational Harvester Company is con-
sidering a refinancing plan or the
necessity for such plan. as intimated
in Wall Street, for the purpose of in
fluencing stockholders. he charges
THE company's financial require
ments of the year have been fully pro-
vided for and the maximum 1921 bor-
rowings will not exceed two-thirds of
the amount borrowed in previous years,
when the company's resources were
smaller" said Mr.. Mccormick. "All
European war losses were charged off
prior to 1920.
"It is true that total receivables are
larger than in 1920, but much less than
the company has carried in previous
years. Most or the recciyableS are
amply secured
THE report that the company has lost
its foreign plants is entirely unfounded.
All are In the company's possession, and
with the exception of the Russian works
are in full operation on a sound business
basis. While the Russian plant Is be-
ing operated by the company's EN-
ployees and for It's benefit its opera
tons are not included in the balance
sheet
1.-THE report that the company has
lost its foreign trade Is equally untrue.
The actual foreign business for 1920
was approximately s60.000.00O. which is
$40, 100000 above the highest previous
record. This includes no trade with
Russia.
1.-THE Harvester Company's financial
situation Is secure, its resources are un-
impaired. and II Is fully prepared to
meet all the further exigencies OF re-
adjustment"

Wheat Mt Low Mark.

The break of 5A cents yesterday in
July wheat brought that commodity to
s114l4, the lowest point at which that
option has sold since 1916. Yesterday s
low figure was in contrast to $2.75 a
bushel, the price when trading In wheat
options was resumed on July 10, 1920.
One OF the chief reasons for the break
was the excellents prospect for a big
crop of winter wheat. which it is esti-
mated Will exceed 600,oO0,000 bushels.
Two private reports received from
Western experts in New York yester-
day estimated the condition at 9l.7 and
