 While it appeared that all state in- stituons were being etaoinin of kitl or kin, d cold analysis of the facts show they fared much better than could have been expected, with the general revenue fund n it's depleted eonditon The University of Arkan- sas is not crippled to any great eX- tent, with an appropriation of many thousand in advance of the appropra- ton of two years ago. The agricul- tural schools have nearly a half mil lion advance The state Tuberculosis sanitarum has appropl iatlons for buildings refused two years ago, and the State Hospital has an appropria- ton of nearly $l73,o00 greater than that of 1911.
 The State Land Department, which had fight to keep from being abol- ished came out or the 1ray with an increased appropriation of over $50, ,OOO due to the placing of the State Highway Commission under this de- partment.
