 To Clean the Calendar.
 Today is the last day on' which this Alli can come up for passage in the Senate, for both Houses by joint res- oIutfon yesterday declared that after today the House would pass no House bills and the Senate would pass no Senate bills. ss
 This resolution was passed with the assurance that the Legislature would adjourn Saturday night. And appar- entiy there is no reason why this should not be done.
 When the Senate quit work yesterday afternoon, it had disposed of all the bills on the. calendar except three little House bills to which there Is no op- position ana which could be passed. in fifteen minutes.
 Several committee reports were hand- ed in yesterday, and there may per- hans be ten bills on the calendar for today's work Of course the work of inc two houses must be made to har- monize in the final Gays of the ses- sion, and the clerks must be given time I'd complete their recording tasks. But the three remaining days will afford ample time for all this.
 Forestry Bill Passed.
 The new forestry bill was passed at the afternoon session, but it was trimmed up Tn a way that the pro- motors of the bill did not like. Still the bill is held by its friends to be a measure which inaugurates new and important movement in Alabama, and which will be improved and strength ened by future Legislatures
 The bill was intended, like the com Jpulsory education b.Ii which failed. to be an entering wedge--a start in the right direction.
 The bill provides for the establish ment of State Forestry Commission. which will have general supervision of the forests of the State. The Com mission: which is composed of State. officials. has not much power under the bill and it's members serve with- out pay.
 The small sum of $500 annually Is appropriated for the payment of the expehses of the Commission. The principal duties of the Commission just now will be the circulation of fofestry preservation literature and the creation of a sentiment for the preservation of the forests of Aia- bama.
 The bill unites the machinery for the enforcement of the game law witn the purposes of the new forestry act. The State Game and Fish Commission CT is made Forestry Commissioner, and he is given charge of the operation nf the act. County Game Wardens, by the provisions of the act, are made Forest wardensA 4 section ef the oli aiIows courts of County Commission CTS to appropriate $250 annually to each County Forest Warden as salary

Teasley Wins in Initial Skirrnish. OPPOSITION BASED
 ON LACK OF FUNDS Measure for Protection of Forests
 Is Passed. Several Senators Oppose It in strenu- GUS Manner, and Amendments to Some Features Are Put Through --Pianning on Aa5ourning
 Saturday.

Senator Teasley yesterday won his light to take from the adverse calen- dar of the Senate his bill to reimburse the Confederate soldiers for what they lost in the change from the old to the new pension law.
 It Is not recorded however. that the bill will become a law, although there is undoubtedly a strong sentiment in both houses for it's passage. Somehow there is a suspicion out that the pow CTS that be are against the bill, on the grounds that the funds in the treasury are so low that the $100,000 carried by the bill can not be paid.
 The Montgomery County Senator is. however, making an industrious light for the measure and he is now so en- couraged that he believes the bill will become law.
 His effort to get the bill from the adverse calendar yesterday was op- posed by Senator Miller, chairman of the committee which placed 1t there.
 Senator Miller differed widefIy from the Montgomery Senator on the effect of the change of the pension law. Mir. Miiler's position was that the State was not directly indebted to the vet erans for nine months pension money. as claimed by Senator Teasley.
 He said that under the old law the veterans were paid a years pension money in advance, while under the new law the pension money was increased and a quarter of 1t, instead of a full year, was paid in advance,
 Senator Teagley took issue with the Birmingham Senator. Senator Teasley is recognized as Senate authority on matters of taxation, and his lucid exr planation of the condition claimed the close attention of all his fellow. Sena- tors He denied that the veterans had been paid a year in advance.
 The taxes for the pension money of 1907, he explained, were due on Oct. i, 1908. They were collected throughout the year. so that. on October i, 1907, the

 woaIs Be After the C..h.
 This feature of the bill was strong ly opposed by several Senators, led by Senator Lusk. He declared that he was opposed to give any such au- thority to the County Commissioners, for as certainly as 1t was given, some man would come knocking at the door to get the money. and what was more, he would get it.
 And that was the opinion of sena- tor Forester. expressed in one of his rare characteristic speeches. He knew County Commissioners just like the Senator from Marshall knew him. He knew that if there was any money to be voted away, there would be somebody wanting that money. with influence enough to persuade the Com missioners to give 1t to him.
 T am here to protect my county" said Senator Forester. "and tell you, right now am not going to vote for anything that will increase my county's taxes. We have done enoLgh of that, and I have been explaining aboutyt the new taxes just as much as want to explain. don't propose 10 vote for a bill that will increase taxes just to protect a lot of bird nests.
 The amendment eliminating this feature was. however, defeated.
 Senator Lusk objected to the pro- vision in the bill which forbid the lighting of brush piles, which might result in forest fires.

 Mir. Lusk succeeded in getting in a compromise amendment which did not completely eliminate the provision to which he objected.
 Senator Mcwhorter objected to the section of the bill which exempted for a period of ten years "cut over lands devoted to forestry. He came within an ace of getting in his amendment. cutting 1t out. The vote was tie. and the President voted to preserve the integrity of the bill.
 Senator McWhorter also proposed an amendment which reduced the penalty from $1.00o to $1o0. The amendment was lost, however.
 Senator Barbour objected to the bill. He thought the measure was joke when 1t was originally brought m, and he was inclined. he said. to have fun out of 1t with the other members of the Senate But he had become convinced that there was more to the bill than appeared on the surface. He was opposed to the Dill as having an element of danger in t.
 Senator Hammer took the same view of the bill which he termed "a masked battery" He pointed out features of the measure. which he deemed objec- tionable, and hes too. was opposed to inc provisions allowing the county game wardens to get into the county treasury.
