The situation in which the Uni

unusual in the financial history OF
the State. The mere fact that the
Legislature provides certain sum
for a specific governmental activity
does not transmute that sum into
cash. The Legislature ends its reg

State Board of Equalization until the
following August. The first INSTALL
ment Of taxes is not delinquent until

the last Legislature decided that the
wiser course would be to provide for

ANNAPOLIS GRADS
WILL Be RETURNED
TO PRIVATE LIFE


WASHINGTON. Feb. Is. - The
house naval committee, in trying to
discover some way OF reducing ap-
propriations for the naval establish
ment next year was reported today to
have agreed informally to recommend
that the first class at Annapolis be
graduated in June, and be turned
back to civil life without commits
sions in the navy.
Although members declined TO dis
cuss this proposal 1t is understood
that such q recommendation probably
would be made along with the fur
ther proposal that the number OF
men to be admitted to the academy
each year be reduced from five to two
for each member of congress. Secre-
tary DENLY proposed that the reduc-
tion be cut on a congressional allot-
ment from five TO three.
There are about $40 members OF the
first class, all Of whom naturally ex-
pected to be sent to sea. A COM
mitteeman urging that the entire
classes be dropped. declared final
decision on this question would be
reached at the earliest possible time
in order to let the midshipmen know
whether they could expect to remain
on the government pay roll.
While the committee continued to-
day to hear naval experts tell of the
needs for the next fiscal year under
what they described as "the treaty
navy" house members were canvass
ing among themselves in an effort
to find how much could be cut from
Secretary Denby's estimate of $780,
100000 for the next fiscal year. On
ali sides 1t was admitted that the
drive for reduction from that figure
was gaining headway. although many
leaders insisted that to cut much un-
der the DENLY estimate would put the
navy below the ratio rating fixed by
the arms conference.
The figure most persistently men
toned as the most probable to be
set by the appropriations committee
which will frame the navy bill was
$3.50, ,000, 900. There are many claims
by ''little navy men" demanding dras-
tic cuts, that the house at least
would not stand for more than 5000,
OO0, 900.

Propose Pooling
Of Freight Cars
To Reduce Costs
TRepubllean A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15-A plan
for pooling the 2,500,000 freight cars

by the railroads through one central
agency, under railway auspices, was
filed with the interstate commerce
commission today in connection with
its hearings on rate levels by >.

Such an arrangement, he said,
would save several million dollars

ing the present grave situation he
added "by co-ordinating the existing
agencies of transportation and
would meet the regional and seasonal
needs of the country's freight car
requirements"

pointed by the association advocating
far-reaching methods for the econ
