NEVIS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
EMPLOYING PRINTERS DECIDE ON NO LESS
 THAN 48-HOUR WEEK

At a conference in Phoenix yester- day, attended by representatives from practically all the commercial job printing shops in Arizona, a resolution was unanimously adopted, every one voting, declaring their disapproval of a movement for anything less than a 4S-hour week.
 Following is the resolution adopted: ::
 We, the undersigned employing printers and publishers, having thor oughly and carefully considered the proposition of changing from a AS to a 44-hour week in the various depart ments of our plants, as demanded by the different printing trade unions, do hereby declare our disapproval of such a change, as serious economic mis- take which would increase printing costs at time when every other in dustry in the country is being asked and is expected to reduce costs; and that we are unalterably opposed to any reduction in the hours of labor at present existing and we agree that we will not make any contract or agree ment for anything less than 4S-hour week; and that no contract shall be made or entered into with any print ing trade union until it has been ap- proved by the executive committee of the employing printers"
 Several of the employing printers of the state who could not atend"the con ference yesterday wired their agree ment to stand solidly for nothing less than a 4S-hour week. Several other of the larger shops which could not attend also wired that they would stand by the action of the conference.
 The conference in this city yester- day followed the action of the interna- tional unions of all the allied printing crafts in attempting to force 44-hour week on May l. After a thorough con sideration of the matter it was decided that a 4S-hour week would be neither a physical unfairness nor unreason- able at this time when the general public is demanding lowering of all prices and speeding up instead of reduction in in production.
 This action of the Arizona employ ing printers is in conformity with the action taken by majority of the em- ploying printers of the country.
 It is understood that the small one man shops usually owned by union card man will of course, agree to 44-hour week, but with only one or two exceptions the state will be almost solid against adopting anything less than the 4S-hour week.-Phoenix Re- publican.

PLAN STATE OF LINCOLN FROM
 WASHINGTON AND IDAHO

The Estate of Lincoln" is being or ganized in the hope of becoming the 49th member of the union
 And in the operation the name of Lincoln is linked with secession, for parts of Idaho and Washington must secede to form the state.
 Inhabitants of the ten northern counties comprising the panhandle of Idaho have raised fund to campaign for the new state.
 It is proposed that the Idaho coun- ties merge with the eastern section of Washington, making Spokane the geo. graphical center and capital of the proposed state.
 The argument of the new state is that eastern Washington and the Ida ho panhandle are closely linked, geo. graphically and commercially.
 Legislatures of both states must grant secession and their act must be approved by congress before the new state can be formed
 The new state would have three rep resentatives and two senators.
 The state of Lincoln would have been in the union now if President Cleveland had not vetoed the meas ure,

s692,923.60

Automatically the amount which would have been saved in taxes has been loaned by the state at the rate of 6 per cent, while the state itself only recently has been compelled to sell its own bonds at per cent.
 MT. Kuchler said yesterday he had ordered new forms for the transmits sion of moneys to the treasurer in or der to avoid any mistake in the flu ture. The readjustment of funds, he said, may take the form of passing to the credit of current interest, until the interest fund is properly reimbursed to the extent of the loans.
 The land commissioner said that ap- plications had been made for loans up to the amount of S225,000, and he did not believe in holding out hope to the people in view of the fact that there were no funds with which to make the loans.
 "I believe it would be advisable to inform the public at large that the state has no funds at this time avail able for private loans. l do not be- lieve it is fair for the state to hold out any hope to applicants for such loans which will result in their final disappointment" said MT. Kuchler- Phoenix Republican.

UNCASHABILITY OF WARRANTS
 WORKS EMPLOYEES HARDSHIP

State employees are evidencing con siderable concern over their inability to cash their state salary warrants. The banks are refusing to accept the paper as there are no funds to pro- vide immediate payment, and the war rants bear only five per cent interest.
 The situation cannot be remedied until the state receives funds from the bonding syndicate which has agreed to take tax anticipation bonds bearing per cent. Until the receipt of these funds, some time between April and April 10, state employees and other holders of state warrants will be out of luck unless they can find some kindhearted individual to cash their warrants at discount.

STATE HAS MISUSED
 $692,OOO, DECLARES
 LAND COMMISSIONER


 That $692 2,923.60, interest received on the sale of state lands, has been misused by the state was declared by Rudolph Kuchler, state land commits sioner, who notified the governor to this effect. This large sum of money, that should have been used for the maintenance of state institutions, has been loaned to private individuals, ac- cording to the report made by MT. Kuchler. Failure of the state land board properly Co segregate it's ac- counts is said to have been responsi- ble for the mistake, which covers a period dating from 1916 to the present time.
 In keeping with his policy of busi- ness administration, Mr. kuchler de- in and every dollar spent, and in the course of this detailed classification he made the discovery which, it is said will result in radical changes in the department.
 Up to January the amount of inter- est received from the sale of land amounted to $692, ,923.60, and the prin- cipal of the sales amounted in the ag- gregate to $743,3S7.42. The two amounts were reported without dis tinction as to their source to the state treasurer and applied to the sales fund, which was used for state loans.
 Had the funds been applied to the various institutions, as provided in the enabling act, MT. Kuchler declares the people would have saved that amount in taxes. The distribution of interest received on sales to the first of the year in accordance with the law would have been as follows:
