NAL BATTLE IF PRESENT SESSION
 HAS BEEN FOUGHT
Primary Election Bill Only Important Measure To
 Be Acted Upon
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD

No fights of state interest will occur during the closing week of the quadrennial session of the legisla- ture, according to those who have made a careful check of the situa- tion after the close of the forty eighth of the fifty sessions, allotted by the constitution. All important legislation, with the exception of the primary election bill, has either gone to the governor for approval or to the realm of forgotten things. The primary election bill will come up on motion to take it from the adverse calendar Tuesday, but opponents claim they have far more votes than are necessary to keep the bill on the unfavorable list.
 A great part of the legislatures work this week will be routine, such as the concurrence in amendm ents and the signing Of bills enrolled by tine clerical departments. A large number of bills will appear on the calendars of the house and senate Tuesday, but they are not oR state importance. Both houses will hold three sessions Tuesday and on the following legislative day will pass bills until about noon. It has been customary for the legislature by resolution to prohibit the passage of any bills after noon of the laet day because of the heavy work rdevolving upon the clerical departments in the eparations of the bills for the gov ernor who must receive them before sine die adjournment.

EVERYBODY PLAYS. GAME FOR POWER, BISHOP DECLARES
If All You Want Is Amuse- ment, Train For It, Is
 GaiIor'S Suggestion

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-If success in life means nothing more than get ting what you can out of the comfort and amusement at hand, why. not be
 trained for the business of standard izing education and making the coll leges into machine shops and labora- tories? asked Bishop Thomas F. Gai- Tor, president of the national council of the Episcopal church, in address ing the international convention of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew here today.
 Man, the animal has grown to large dimensions and is tempted to measure all plans, schemes, move suits" Bishop Gailor said. The whole scene, they call it 6 game, is a game for high slants for material power. The workman plays it, the capitalist plays it, and subtle indirec- tions and base dishonesties and clever cruelties flourish and win out, If success in life means nothing more than getting what you can out of the comfort and amusement that Is at hand right here and now, why ! not be trained for this business standardize all education and put it upon an industrial plane and turn all our colleges into machine shops and laboratories"
 Bishop Gailor shared with the Rev. L. Ralph Sherman of Toronto and Herbert S. Houston of New York, publisher of Our World, in the con Ventions final mass meeting pro- gram on the subject of Christian Citizenship" The convention closed tonight with farewell addresses, in which the delegates were given their marching orders.

B0ARD'S STAND 0N
 PAR CLEARANCE 0F. CHECKS IS ASKED.
Says Banks Would Establish Exchange Charge If Law
 Was Stated Correctly

" WASHINGTON, ', Sept. 23-Direct in- qulry as to the future policy will be With respect to cOntinua tion of the par check collection plan within the reserve system was made of the federal reserve board in a letter made public here today from l.. R. Adams, secretary of the national and state bankers protective association MT. Adams, one of the authors of the so- called Clairborne-A Adams par clear ance plan rejected last week by the boards advisory council, asserted that banking institutions throughout the country deserved to know wheth- CT they were at liberty to charge exchange since the supreme court had ruled against compulsory par clear ance arrangement.
 MT Adams letter maintained that the board ought to inform the banks We were mistaken, we misconstrued the law and mistakenly stated it's re- quirements to you.' Many banks would establish an exchange charge Immediately, MT. Adams asserted, if they knew their status under the law as interpreted by the highest court and he submitted this further ques- tion to the board
 Are you going to tell these state banks that the federal reserve act did not and does not undertake to destroy the state bank s right to charge eX- change but that the state banks are free. to accept or reject the par clearance system and to withdraw from the par list without fear of open or secret reprisals?"
 The letter made no complaint against banks desiring to continue participating in the widespread Voluntary organization arranged by the board for par collection functions If said such a system was not favored how wever, by many banks, although they did not know what the board would do if they attempted to with draw from the par list and obtain such revenue as might be got from ilevying a fee on check collections.

compromising and even a vehement declaration.
 If you do not say exactly what you mean the oriental thanks that you are afraid to say it, for he nearly all ways defines your meaning. The man of Latin race is not quite like that. for he would not accuse you of fear without much better evidence, but he does see in circuitous language and ambiguous action signs of hesitation, which encourage him to make use of his opportunities.
 The crisis is not over yet. I feel confident though that the British government will not fail. France was for a time in great danger of con doning what Italy has done.
 I hope the danger is passed. If not, the crisis may take on new forms, but will remain as bad as ever. The league will again be threatened. The small nations which are members of it will feel that their interests are being disregarded and that the league provides them, after all with no sort of protection. If Italy quar- rels with Jugoslavia the little En- tente cannot remain disinterested. France, however, is behind the little Entente, just as the little Entente is behind the JugoslaVs.
 There are complications that make the brain reel. The only way of safety is for France and Great Brit ain to say that, come what may, they will take all their troubles to the league.
