STATE FINANCES IN
BETTER CONDITION
THAN END OF 1921

Financially the state Of Arizona is
in better condition now than year
ago, according to report covering the
two-year period ending December 81,
1922. The report states that the state
treasury balance on the foregoing date
totalled S1,977, $50, against which out
standing warrants amount to less than
100000.
For the same date last year the bal
ance was 81, ,567, ,542.96, with outstand-
ing warrants Of S1,005, ,79015.
"At the present time," the report
continues, .'there is on deposit with
the banks of the state in the inactive
accounts the sum Of $877 1859,
which is drawing interest at the rate
of A per cent.
The permanent fund which is rep
resented in this amount amounts to
only 67,760.43. We have on deposit
in the inactive accounts $4,000 in
excess of the amount of the permanent
funds, as compared with the $470,000
that was on deposit December 81,
1920, with 1862, ,342.49 in the perma-
nent funds. 1t has been my aim to
readjust the permanent funds once q
month so that any moneys received
could Immediately be placed at per
cent interest.
The report also calls attention to
the fact that the largest percentage
of loans made by the state of Arizona
are delinquent in their interest pay
nents, no payments having been made
in some cases since the loan was Sc
cured.
Mr.. Earhart recommends Legislative
action to enact new tax anticipation
bond law or some other suitable meas
ure permitting the treasury to issue
short term certificates. In this con-
nection. the report asserts that owing
to the indefinite date of maturity reg
istered state warrants at any rate oi
interest are not desira lie collateral
for the banks of the state.
Balances in all state funds on De-
cember 81, 1922, are given in the re-
port as follows: General fund, S1,1l1,-
371 Sc: interest fund, S40,04213; state
game protection, $4,911.52; state re-
den1ption, $500, 6,461. 80; st. Louis Expo
Red. s28, ,337. Sc; u. of A. redemption.
S4,957. Sc; permanent school fund, So
436.56: university land fund, S19,387;
+, n. Jud. p. G. land, $9,912.34; PEN
itentiary land fund, $9,584.89; asylum
for the insane land, $7,872.41; schools
