CONGRESS- TO RENEW
BATTLE ON TREATY
AT .TODAY,S SESSION
Political Opinion Is DiDided as
to HotD Vote viii
Result.
TRv Associated Pre.s.l

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-The peace
treaty fight will pass into another and
perhaps decisive stage tomorrow with
the best opinion IN official and politi-
cal circles here divided as to whether
the outcome will be ratification or re-
lection.
Under a plan agreed on week ago.
the treaty is to be called formally be-
fore the Senate with the Republican
reservations adopted at the las- ses.
sion of Congress. A brief season OF
general debate is expected while nego-
tiations for compromise are pro-
.ceeding, but it is the intention of the
leaders to hold the discussion within
reasonable bounds and 10 begin with
in few days actual Senate consid-
Grafton of the changes proposed In tho
reservations.
Solution of most OF the collateral
issues is expected to be reached with
little difficulty along the lines laid
down BY the recently dissolved bipar-
tisan conference But the disagree
ment oyer, Article X. which is the
crux of the whole controversy, re-
manned in q state tonight which seem
ed to menace seriously the chances
of ratification.
Many Senator's on both sides Of the
chamber are known to be pressing
their party leaders to accedc some
compromise that will insure ratifica-
tion, whilo pressure also is being
brought TO bear by infiueptial men
outside OF the Senate in both politi-
cal parties.

ROAD DISTRICT ACT
 UPHELD BY COURT
OPINION IS RENDERED BY St. PRIME COURT tN BENTON
 COUNTY CONTROVERSY.
THREE DISTRICTS ARE VALID
Statute Authorizing Commissioner To Create Entirely New Districts Is Held To Be void-No Provi-
 sion Made For Assessment.

Little Rock.-The Supreme Court decided:
 That the three road improvement districts of Benton county created by the 1919 legislature are valid. Among the points of attack urged by the property owners who seek to have the districts declared invalid, is one that the statutes do not declare the roads for improvement to be public roads. The court held that it was not necessary for the state to so declare but that it developed upon those at tacbing the district to make such showing. Another attack was that the roads to be improved were un- certain, but the court held this was not shown. The further attack that the roads to be improved were tao extensive to be treated as a single im- provement, is ruled by the case of John vs. Road Improvement District decided. The section of the statute which authorizes the commissioners to be void, because no provision is made for the assessment of benefits, and the levy and collection of taxes for that purpose, but further held that this intellectual section does not rem der the remainder of the statute void Another section of the statute which purports to give the commissioners authority to repair and maintain the roads was held intellectual, as not re- f1ecting the true intention of the legis- lature, because of the lack of further provisions for this purpose. The court also held that the failure of the stat ute to provide that the plan for the improvement should be submitted to and approved by the County Court does not invade the jurisdiction of the court, as where the powers con- fict, that of the commissioners must yield to that of the County Court, but that no necessary conflict arises from improve the roads.
 Justices Wood and Hart dissent on the ground that the act plainly gives to the commissioners power to repair and maintain the roads, and that this authority is in conflict with the con stitutional provision yesting exclusive jurisdiction of roads in the County Court and renders the statute void. They say that to hold as did the ma jority that, where the acts of the County Court were done in derogation to the interests of the district, that these acts could be controlled by the courts, if necessary, would operate to make the County Court a mere figure head and deprive him of his constitu- tional powers.
