Federal reserve banks have not the rjp-ht to Insist on par collection of checks of non-memher banks, the supreme court, ruled this week in effect. The court reversed decrees of Georgia courts which had refused to enjoin ; the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta from taking steps to toigie collection of checks drawn on a number of Georgia state non-member banks, "except through the usual and ordinary chan-" nets." In opposing1 the injunction, the federal reserve bank claimed that one of the principal purposes of the federal reserve act was to establish par collections of checks throughout the country. The alleged campaign of the federal reserve bank could not have been justified on any ground if the controversy had been between private business parties, Associate .Justice l lolmer said, and it should not be justified in the present case with, the government more or Jess directly: interested. . \ 'The policy of the federal reserve board is that .of the government," he 1 ,?"i-K- Vinrl tin in HER FIRST HOUSE SPEECH CongrcEswoman Robertcon Says Her Cay in the House. i Blushing like a bashful school girl, Miss .Alice M. Jioberston of Oklahoma, on Tuesday made her first speech in I lie house. She engaged in debate after Representative Mondoll, the Republican leader, had declared the federal government had a "little park down in Oklahoma" which it had been trying | to get rid of for' several years. It has been offered, he said, to Oklahoma, but Oklahomans did not seem to want it, realising, he added, that "so long as I Ihey may utilize the property ' and IJncIe Sam pay the upkeep that that Is very satisfactory arrangement." Miss Robertson asked the name of the tract and when.told it was Piatt National Park, inquired of Mr. Monde!! if he knew how it had been named. He admitted he didn't so she told him that it was named Ybr the late Senator Piatt of Connecticut, "one of the best friends, if not the best, the Indians of Oklahoma ever had." The'white-haired woman representative delivered a brief speech in praise of Senator Piatt and when she walked back to her seat, was applauded by members of the house. MUCH NITRATE SOLD.
