SENATE THREATENS
 LEGISLATIVE WAR
Members May RetaIiate on "PattIe- AXers" in tEe H0use-Peace
 Brigade Busy.

Little Rock, Feb. 19.-Whether the Senate will declare a legislative wal of retaliation on the House is expect ed to develop early this week.
 Tn tabilng Senate measures last week, including the salary bills fo. the Highway Commission, the History Commission and the Labor Bureau. the House has aroused considerable resentment in the Senate, and it is currently rumored that a Senate "bat- tie ax brigade" is forming for q night in reprisal, directed mainly a. galnst all lower house measures sent over by representatives active in tabl- Iing Senate bills.
 With only 14 1-2 working days re- maining to the session, and much i'm portant legislation remaining uncon- sidered, and fight between the houses at this stage would result in legis- lative block. It is said that leaders in both houses were active Saturday and yesterday seeking to smooth down the situation, but at the same time, considerable resentment is known to exist
 In addition to the pending tax bills, two other measures may share the limelight this week; the university removal bill and the highway bill The House Committee on Education has recommended against the univer- |sity removal, but the matter has not yet came before the Senate. Neither house has considered the highway bill.
 General Appropriations.
 The general appropriation bill for the various departments will likely appear late in the week or early next week. The House members are on record as oposed to any salary raises, and any attempt to increase salaries will be met with vigorous opposition.
 The question of county superin- tendency continues to be a mooted subject in the legislature. The Woos- ley bill to refer the question of super visiCn to he school election in May has been so cut up by amendments IS for the exemption of counties that it has lost it's character of general measure. It was made special order for Monday and should it reach the Senate it is probable that there WI. be further exemptions. While the opponents of supervision have been persistent in their efforts to make a patchwork of the county superin- tendency law, they have so far failed to make nay great headway and the friends of education feel confident that they vii be able to hold the lines steady against all aggressors.
