STATE TREASURY
 IN BAD SHAPE
Will Begin Business Next January With An Empty General Reye.
 nue Fund.

Little Rock July i6.-Every time the state treasury settles down to a sense Of temporary relief and quet something comes along to remind th, average citizen that the state is still
 on the ragged edge, financially, and that slImping will he necessary for months to come, if the general ex- penses are to be met without dis counting state paper.
 The latest reminder came in d telc- gram last night from the secretary of the 5oard of trustees of the State Uni- versity to State Treasurer Yates, an- nouncing that requisition would very shortly be made for approximately $o0,000 still due the university from the last legislative appropriation It is explained that the university has held off from asking for it's pro rata
 under the appropriation, owing to the stinted condition of the general revenue, until now back pay enve- lope with practically S50,000 in it is due the institution. Much of tn will go to take up vouchers that have been taken up hy Fayetteville banks, as q matter of accommodation to the school it is understood.
 In addition, the state will soon b. at the point where constant requis.- tion for the support of the agricultur- al schools will begin, and within a few days contract is to be let for the new state normal dormitory at Con- way. while all the time the $5o,000 or $60,000 monthly bill for the ordinary expenses of state government must be paid from this same general reve- nue fund.
 State Treasurer Yates is of the opinion that from the present pros pect, the state will begin business next January with an empty general revenue fund, and that in the face of a session of the legislature, which is always an expensive proposition, cost ing anywhere from $100,000 to $155 = 900, as was the cost two years ago.
 These figures do not include the $200,00O hospital for the insane, au- thorized by the last legislature, and for which the state has not yet been able to make any plans.
 Unless there is some almost unfor- seen change in the situation, the chances are that the appropriation for this second hospital for the in sane will lapse.

ARCHITECT PUTS
Slight ON STATE
Treasury Department Employe
Specifies Eastern Marble for
Santa Cruz Building

Supervising Architect James Knox
Washington has again thrown down the
gage of war to the producers of Cali
fornia marble. Letters and kilograms
of protest against his discrimination in
providing for eastern marble in Cali
fornia federal buildings have been of
no avail.
Revised plans and specifications for
the Santa Cruz postofice have just been
received and they provide for a large
quantity of this material. California
produces an excellent quality of mar
BILE, but the specifications of the super
vising architect provide as follows:
Marble columns in front must be of
green veined statuary marble; this is
quarried only in Vermont. Details of
the lobby and the marble base below
screen and wood panels and under win
dows must be of Vermont oriental mar
ble The panels must be of Tennessee
gray marble. Tennessee gray marble
must be used below all cement plaster
Panels of the first floor must be of red
numidian marble, black marble, Ten
nessee gray and white Alaska borders.
Panels over windows must be Of Por-
tola marble.
The producers of California marble
have been notified and another protest
will be sent to Washington. The min
ing bureau, the California development
board and California businessmen have
protested before, but when their an
swer came it was in such form as the
recent revised specifications for the
Santa Cruz building. Each answer has
been a slap In the face.
An effort will be made this time to
go over the head of James Knox Taylor,
for the state producers will show that
the California product is of equal or
better quality and can be transported
to Santa Cruz for considerably less
money than can the marble from Ver-
mont and Tennessee.
