FARM LOANS BY THE
 STATE ARE HALTED

PhceniX-Farn loans by the state will be discontinued until $5S0, 000 enormously loaned has been repaid to various funds. It was announced today by the state loan board, com prised of the governor, the secretary of state and the state treasurer. It may require several years to repay the amount, it was explained, as on- ly the proceeds from the sale of state lands can be used for this purpose
 The states plight, it was declared is due to the action of the old statG land department in crediting interest money to the permanent fund instead of to the institutions as specified in the enabling act. This will necessi- tate transfer of funds, as soon as there are sufficient on hand to make a change in the accounts.
 While this action will forestall any further loans in the immediate future, it was stated. Arizona taXpay, CTS as a whole will benefit as this transfer will correspond approximate ly to a 10 per cent reduction in the tax levy.
 Thorugh the enabling act. the fed eral government made several grants 1 of land to the state for it's institu- | tlOnS. the proceeds rom the Sale ol lands alone to become a permanent 1 fund and the interest earn ed, togeth' | CT with the rentals on unsold lands | to be used for the maintenance oi 1 the institutions for which the grants were made. The land department however. prior to January l. 1921, it
 was said. in making remittances included the interest collected by il
 on deferred payments. It is pointed
 out that the interest payments should l have been remitted separately anc l credited to the institutions for wh1ct the land grants were made.
 The state loan board today asserted in order to comply with provision: | of the enabling act, the reimburse l ment of this interest money will have to be made as soon as sufficient fund.- | can be accumulated.
 Discovery that the funds had no
 been properly credited was made b,

Many Bills Are Pre- Sented That Promise
 Big Savings.


 Phoenix, Ariz, Feb, PA saving by the state of from $500, 900 to s5O0.- 900 a year was forecast Saturday, if series of bills introduced in the house become jaws
 The measure would amend and re- peal the session laws or parts of the civil code. Among other things these bills propose to abolish the state water commissions office, the child welfare board and advancement of money by the state to counties. 1t would kill appropriations for blind, deaf and dumb. for state normal school cadets, for cooperation of the state with the government for the era6yiction of tuberculosis among cattle, for the vocation rehabilitation of industrial cripples and for main tenance of the state immigration commission.
 Among the amendments is one to add more duties to the work of the corporation commission and another to revise the fee system in filing papers.
 Introduced By Request"
 All these bills were introduced "by request" by Representatives Wylie, UdalI. Pishon, Haynes and Scupp
 The senate committee on appropria- tions and finance introduced a bill amending the session laws concerning cooperative agricultural work so that each. county must match dollar for dollar on all cash received from the University of Arizona fund which re- ceives all federal aid money for this purpose in Arizona. V
 Through in 30 Days
 Business of the special session of the legislature will undoubtedly be completed within 30 days, according to assertions made today by Senator H. A. Elliott.
 Senator Elliott indicated that the foremost desire of the legislators is to quickly and ably dispose of the business before them and to return to their homes and that no effort will be made on any hand to prolong the session.
 One of the most important matters before the legislature and now being deliberated upon by the appropria tions and finance committee of which Senator Elliott is member, he states, will be the throwing of mum erous special appropriations back into the general fund.
 The numerous special appropria- tions which have been made, accord ing to Senator Elliott, have greatly involved the business of the state which while having $5,000,OOO al together. on hand in various funds is unable to touch many of them sim ply because they are in the nature of special appropriations.
 Senator Elliott declared that in hi; op:nion most of these special fund: which have badly hampered the ad ministration of the state of Arizona must be placed in the general fune where the expenditure may be dl rected and supervised by the state officials in a more satisfactory man ner.
 While not hampering any depart ment he stated, the inclusion of thes' funds in the general appropriation would make them more flexible ant ameniable to the actual necessities government. Many crisis which ar1s' on account of the present disposition of the funds would thus be eliminated he also affirmed.
