NJ DOO SUBMITS
FINANCIAL NEEDS
Great Reductions For Ar
my Increase For Navy.
And Aircraft
(By Associated Press.)


Washington. Dec, 2.-Cessation OF
war will result in reduction Of gov
eminent expenses for the fiscal year
1920. starting next July l. to $7,44S.-
415.858, from the $24, 599, 100000 ap-
preparation, for the current year, ac-
cording to tentative estimates sub
mitted to congress today by Secre-
tary McAdoo transmitting the re-
ports Of the various departments.
Army Reductions.
The principal reduction was for
the military estimate, which esti-
mates its needs at 1892, 100000 in
1920 as compared with the $l2,274,-
100000 appropriated for this year.
Before the signing of the armstice
with Germany it had been figured
that the army alone would need more
than $4,000, 100000 for 1920.
Navy Cost Increased.
The navy's estimates for 1920 are
SCI, 100000 appropriated for the cur
rent year, an increase of a billion
dollars despite the closing of the war.
There Is nothing to show what it
was estimated the navy would have
needed had the war continued.
Millions For Aircraft
Including 4,237. 600 estimated
for Notifications. the total contem-
plated outlay on the army amounts
to $2,497, 100000. A striking figure
in the army estimates is the $144.-
943, 900 for air service production
The appropriations last year under
this head were $3.50, 100000.
1t is evident that in reducing war
estimates the war department is
proposing not to lose all that has
been gained in aircraft development
during the war, but plans to con-
tinue construction and manufacture
on a fairly large scale.

Jared As Well As Any.
There is no evidence Of discrimi-

there is no authenticated instance or
brutality against the Americans.
The ma jority Of the American

of food was insufficient, food for the
prisoners was cut off before that OF

Charter Rate
Is Held Sacred

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 2.--When
pubIic utility enters into q written
contracs with a municipality to fur
nish service for not to exceed a GER
tain rate and when this contract IS
made a condition to the granting OF
a. franchise, the public utility cannot
violate such contract by charging a
higher rate, and when such violation
is attempted the attempt does not
give the railway commission original
jurisdiction over the matter, ruled
the supreme court Saturday evening
in denying the Bismarck Gas compa-
nv a writ of prohibition preventing
Judge w. l.. Nuessle in district court
from hearing an action brought by
the CITY of Bismarck to enjoin the
company from adding to its rates a
surcharge of 5 cents per thousand
feet.
Senator F. NJ Ployhar of Valley
City was granted a franchise by the
city of Bismarck three years ago
giving him permission to use the
streets for the laying of his mains.
Justice j. w. Robinson, who's wrote
the opinion of the court, in his syI-
Iabus says: THE franchise fixed the
highest rate which might be charged
for gas. The grantee agreed in writ
ing to furnish gas at prices not to
exceed the limited rate. There is no
claim that the contract was made
without consideration. or that it was
effected by fraud, duress or IMPOSE
ton. Hence the gas company has no
right to charge for gas any SUM in
excess OF the limited rates"
