NANT HIGHER
PHONE RATES
MADE LEGAL
Companies Seek Order
Against State Railroad
Commission.
Want schedule Of August
1920 Declared Legal by
u. S. Courts.

Tracy r. Bangs, counsel for the
Northwestern Bell Telephone COM
pany and the NorthfDakota Independ-
nj Telephone company, returned
Tuesday night from Fargo, where yes
terday he filed action in the United
States court for an Injunction to re-
strain the board Of railroad commits
sionsrs and the attorney general from
interfering with the companies in
putting into effect the rates set forth
In their schedule of August, 1920. "
The petition for a temporary in
JUNCTION will be heard before three
judges of the United States court as
Dor as arrangements can be made to
assemble such a court.
Behind the action filed yesterday is
a long record Of hearings and an order
by the board of commissioners. In
August, 1920, the Northwestern Bell
Telephone company filed with the
railroad commissioners a new sched-
uleEof rates, both toll and exchange,
which, it was claimed, vas not high
enough to pay the amount that the
company should be entitled to as a
return upon its investment, but was
high enough to take it out of the red
column. The company showed that
Its property was of greater value than
its book value, that there was no
watered stock and that the company
had not been able to pay an average
Of 5 per e n in thirty-three years.
An investigation of the company's
affairs, it is said, disclosed the fact
that up to the time Of the filing of the
new schedule in August, 1920, the
company was operating at an actual
loss, 81
After a thorough investigation, a
majority opinion of the commission
said that 1.-THE showing is we'll made
and indicates the necessity. for addi-
tonal revenue" The opinion said
that the general financial conditions
in North Dakota are such that not
9withstanding the requirements of the
company, they do not feel that they
would be justified in granting an in
crease in rates.
w. H. Stutsman, in a minority
opinion. said that the company should
be granted the increased rates re-
gardless of the financial condition OF
the state. Unde the constitution. the
company is entitled to a fair returu
upon its investment, he said. and the
people are willing to pay for service
rendered.
After the opinions were handed
down., other hearings were held In
Fargo, Grand Forks, Rugby and
Jamestown, but the hearings resulted
IN no relief, it is said. Finally, the
companies instituted action in the
federal court.
The telephone companies are repre-.
sented by Bangs, Hamilton & Bang.

Paris the party set out by special train
for Blois to attend the dedication OF

the French city by the Joan Of Arc
Committee of New York.
While at Blois, the veterans invaded

Of a benzine hearing during which a

Every city visited by the former de-
tenders has received them with arms
wide-open. That France has not for
gotten Is everywhere evidenced by the
cordially of the receptions. At Bor-
deaux. the Legionnaires received the
freedom OF the city" from the high
officials. From there they went to
Tarbes to visit the birthplace OF Gen
eral Foch. They placed a memorial
tablet upon the house that first shell
tered the famous generallssimo.
The former fighters were impressed
by the rapidly with which many Of
the ruined towns have been rebuilt.
Some Legionnaires have gone over the
exact location where they fought the
battle OF liberty and where many of
their buddles fell In action.
Probably the most impressive GER
emony participated In by the Ameri-
cans was the dedication Of the Flirey
monument. This memorial Is tribute
TO the valor Of the doughboys who
delivered the little town OF German
occupation. Flirey Is familiar ground
to many American soldiers. 1t Is on
the ridge which was the main line
of resistance of the old Toul sector.
II was at Fllrey that the Eighty
ninth, from Kansas aud Missouri, went
into conflict. Seventeen American
divisions fought In the vicinity OF the
little town, which itself was occupied
by reglmental headquarters Of troops
holding the line.
At the close of their tour the Legion
men will go to Paris where they will
have three days A. w. o. L., after
which they will sail on their return
voyage. The party Is expected to re
turn about September 10.
