Could Not Tempt Parker


Judge Parker's answer was that
while he appreciated the confidence
Governor Hill had expressed in him,
nevertheless he felt that he could
not permit his name to be used in
connection with the gubernatorial
nomination. He had only one ambi-
ton. and that was to maintain cred
itably his place upon the bench.

Amendments to Rrlna EIaht.

Atlanta-If Governor Smith con-
tinues in the executive Office until
December, as he has announced, it
is regarded as probable that he and
the state senate may lock horns in
prolonged row over the question of
patronage. The anti-Smith element
of the senate is determined that none
of his appointments shall be con-
f1rmed, if they can possibly prevent
it, and they make no secret Of their
desire to have him vacate the COVER
nor's office at the earliest possible
moment. He should resign at once,
and hasten to Washington, they de-
clare, though ten days ago they were
insisting that the state couldn't af-
ford to do without him as governor.
Senator w. ]. Harris of Polk coun-
ty Wednesday introduced a resolu-
ton with reference ito patronage and
the United States senatorship, that is
significant as rejecting the general
disposition of some senators. Mr..
Harris himself disclaims any purpose
of trying to embarrass the governor,
and says that he is willing that all
appointments to Office for terms that
expire during the time that ne is ac-
tually governor will meet with no OPP
position. But, says Mr.. Harris, he is
not willing that the governor should
now make appointments to office, to
take effect at some future time.
The Harris resolution carries a
long and interesting preamble, con-
Guiding with request that the gov
ernor withdraw such appointments as
he has already made for offices whose
terms will not begin until after he
retires from the governors chair.

Senator w. ]. Harris of the thirty
eighth district, has the distinction OF
being the author of the first senate
bill to be passed this session, his bill
providing for the regulation Of the
salaries Of county treasurers having
been adopted. The bill, as passed,
makes the maximum salary of a coun'
ty treasurer $4,000.
The original bill, as amended blythe
finance committee, set $500 as the
minimum salary of county treasurers.
On the amendments Of Senator ]. E.
Sheppard of the 18th, the provision OF
the bill was changed, so as to place
the maximum salary at $4,000, with
no minimum.

The senate will vote on the Cana

the free list bill August 1; congress
sional reapportionment bill August s;
statehood bill for Arizona and New
Mexico on the legislative day of Au.
gust Z, and will adjourn quickly there
after. This voting program, decided
upon after prolonged conferences that
have covered many days, was agreed
to by the senate. All the measures
mentioned have passed the house.
President Taft was quickly acquaint-
ed with the senate's action and ex-
pressed his qualification, especially
over the precedence to be given the
reciprocity bill The house Democrat
10 leaders are undecided as to wheth-
er they will agree to an adjournment
upon the passage of the bill embod-
led in the agreement adopted by the
senate.
Immediate investigation of the
charges made in the recommendation
of the board Of personnel of the de-
partment OF agriculture that DR.. Har.
vey w. Wiley, chief of the chemistry
bureau, be permitted to resign from
the government service was decided
upon by the house committee on ex.
penditures on the department of ag.
riculture. Chairman Moss of the com.
mittee called at once on Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson for all the papers
and testimony in his possession which
had to do with the boards action
The committee authorized issuance
OF suhpoenas for any persons who, in
the chairman's opinion, should be
called to testify. Public hearings
will be given as soon as the papers
have been received, which probably
will be early. Two Of the Republican
members of the committee who are
out of the city have been requested to
return to Washington.
Preliminary estimates made by the
treasury official indicate diminishing
probabilities of money stringepcy
during the crop moving months this
year. In July the banks of the CEN
ter reserve cities will finance dividend
and interest payments aggregating
$3.50, 100000. The banks Of New York
city alone have furnished $4,000. 900
for Panama bond payments and about
$40 100000 for the corporation tax.
Treasury officials think this financing
may result in some hardening of the
money rates, but they look for no
tight money.
