HOOVER ID PRESS
 PARKER'S' CHOICE
(Continued From First Page)

as the week -end recess was taken yesterday. It is believed Parker must get more democratic votes Ii he is to be confirmed.
 If McReynolds retires, Mir Hoover would have it in his power to ap- point a democrat or a republican to succeed him. Ordinarily demo- crat could expect to be chosen. If the democrats do not help confirm Parker, however, Baker and any other candidate might be sidetrack- ed in favor of a republican.
 On the other hand, the report of McReynolds future resignation has served to accelerate the fight of the independent republican group against Parker News that anothcr vacancy is coming has conjured Vi sions of the possibility of getting a court majority moro 10 their liking. They generally regard the court IS to agair"t them, rith one place vacant.
 Sec Chance at Reversal
 If two candidates of their Choos- ing, like Judge Kenyon of Iowa, should be named, the court major lty would be reversed in their favor SIN to three. If they should get even one of the two candidates the so- called conservative majority of the court would be reduced to to 4. They regard Parker as a proposed -,J T,-,a
 The extreme pressure of the ad- nlnistration has brought only two reported conversions to the support of Parker, Senators Golf, repn.. w. Va, who recently announced he would retire, and McCulloch. repn., Ohio. who has been alternately re- ported against Parker and on the fence. This is not enough to put Parker over unless the southern democrats fall in line. Their two votes arc counted in the poll of 40 Parker supporters,
 Borah to Lead Debate
 Senator Borah repn.. Idaho, lead CT of the opposition to Parker, IS expected to open the debate Mon- day, speaking upon the candidate'.s $ attitude toward labor. He may give way to Senator Overman. dem., N. C., for q defense of Parker, if Over man desires.
 The debate is expected to last several days and rival in import ance the recent famous debate over the nomination of Charles Evans Hughes to be chief justice, against which 26 senatorial votes were cast.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, october 16.-The
Investment Bankers Association of
America yesterday concluded its con-
vention after hearing Silas H. Strawr,
Chicago attorney and banker, warn of
the danger of municipalities issuing
obligations in excess of revenue.
In the election of officers, Henry T.
Ferriss of st. Louis was made piesi-
dent of the association, succeeding
Trowbridge Galloway of New York.
Strawn, speaking at the conventions
request on his connection with the
Strengthening out of the Chicago finan-
cial difficulties, vigorously protested
against governmental extravaganza ana
the issuance of governmental securities
not warranted by proportionately in
creased revenue.
Increasing Expenses.
Trouble comes to Cities he said,
mot when debts are insured, but when
these debts must be paid" Citing sta
tistics, Strawn said that from 1913 to
1927 the total cost of municipal, State
and Federal Government had increased
from $4,000 100000 to $4,000, 600 600
with the expectation that in 1880 1t
will amount to $13,5Oo 900 600. In the
same period, he continued, Govern
ment expenditures increased fourfold,
while population increased only 10 per
cent.
Public expenditures absorb IA per
cent of our national income" he said.
How much larger can the tax burden
become without conhscation?"
The Chicago attorney urged that
citizens take more interest in the man
ner in which the taxes are spent.
THE amount of money stolen by
dishonest officials is trifiing compared
to that wasted by incompetent Ones"
he said.
Public Works Commended.
Strawn concluded by saying that
launching upon public works to relieve
unemployment was commendable in the
abstract, but care should be taken
that the resultant burden "is not more
than the taxpayer can bear"
Oficers elected besides Mr.. Ferriss
included Alden H. Little, Chicago, ex-
ecutive vice president; Bernard w.
Ford, San Francisco; Sidney r. Small,
Detroit. and William J. Wardall, Chi
cago, vice presidents; William T. Ba-
con, Chicago, treasurer, and c. Longford
Felske, Chicago, secretary.
Members of the board of governors
elected included Canton O'Donnell,
Denver; Ralph Fordon, Detroit; Rob-
ert A. Gardner, Chicago; Samuel w.
White, Chicago; Donald OrMelveny,
Los Angeles: Philip T. White, Cleve-
land; Albert w. Schwabacher, San
Francisco; Kenel NJ. Winslow, jr.,
