BETTER BABIES CONTEST.
At the Santa Cruz County Fair at So-
 noita in October.

An interesting feature of the County Fair at Sonoita will be the Better Babies Exhibit. The mothers of the county, and those persons interested in better health among the coming gener- ation of citizens are devoting a good deal of attention to the contest. They have decided that if it is worth while to have com petitive exhibits of crops and livestock at the Fair, with farm advisors and study classes through the year to improve our crops and our livestock, it is worth while to take a day to compare the babies of the coun- ty, study their physical condi- tion, and learn from authOrit- ative sources if anything is need ed by the individual child to help it become of the greatest value in the future to Santa Cruz county and the state.
 This contest will be under the auspices of the Woman's Home Companion, and the Fair is CO
 
 plan recommended by the na- tional leaders of the movement for more perfect physical and mental equipment for our future Americans. The directors have enlisted the services of the best local physicians, several experts from the medical corps of the militia, and competent commit tees from the ladies of the county.
 The physicians of Noga!es have considered the contest of such importance that they have for October 10th, and the follow ing named committees are to as- sist them in the capacities in- dicated:
 Superintendent:- E. R. Purdum, of Nogales.
 Committee on Publicity Mrs. J. Larimore, of Nogales.
 Committee on Place and Equip ment: - Mrs. Mark Manning, Mrs. Joseph Cai, of Sonoita.
 Committee on Entrance and Enrolfment:-Mrs. Sterling, Mrs. Ada Jones, Mrs. Arthur Whit field, Mrs. James Barry, of No gales.
 Committee on Scoring: Mrs. A. D. Page, Mrs. A. l.. New man, Mrs. A. B. Ackley, Mrs. John Larimore, Mrs. F. J. Duffy, Mir. B. R. Purdum, MT. Arthur Whitfield, of Nogales; Mrs. w. c. Christman, Mrs. H. R. Turn CT, of Sonoita.
 Committee on Program:-Mrs. Benj. V. White, of Nogales.
 Any baby over six months and under forty eight months may be entered in the Contest, and the babies will be examined in the order of their entry. Any parents desiring to enter their babies should communicate with anyone of the Committee on ED- trance and enrolment. The babies will be thoroughly exam ined physically and mentally by medical experts, and their SCOT ing card will be returned to the parents with instructions to the parents which will enable them to correct any defects discovered.

pleQ by these buildings Will be the automobile park, with en- trance on Nineteenth Avenue, opposite the entrance to the grandstand. At this point the automobile busses running from the city will discharge their passengers, and private cars may enter the automobile park, where guards will be employed, assuring them every protection, for a nominal fee.
 In place of the high board fence which at present encloses the southwest section of the grounds will be erected a hand- some woven wire fence. It is the intention of the Fair Com mission to add to this fence each year until the entire grounds are enclosed, thus doing away with the old high board fence.
 Another addition this year for the convenience of the public is the extension of the street car tracks into the Fair Grounds. Heretofore the cars have un- loaded and taken on passengers at the main entrance. This year arrangements have been made to have cars run into the grounds after four o'clock each afternoon and take on passengers at a station just opposite the grand stand.
 The sheds occupied by the Swine Department have always been more or less crowded. The Commissioners have ordered the exhibit space in this department doubled and the construction of new sheds is now in progress. This condition also is true of the Poultry Department, and the new Poultry Building will have twice as much floor space as heretofore.
 The Kennel Department, un- der the direction of the Arizona Kennel Club, expect this year to put on the biggest bench show ever held in the Southwest, and have advised the commission that the quarters heretofore set aside for this department are too small. The old 'Pets De- partment Building" therefore,
 
 ed into an up-to date Fire De. partment, where one of the au- tomobile trucks of the Phoenix Fire Department will be kept throughout Fair Week, and an enormous tent has been ordered for the dogs which will be ship ped here from all parts of the country. Benches will be ar ranged around the walls of the tent. In the center will be ar ranged judging ring, in which all dogs entered will be judged by Dr. Geo. M. Clayton, of Chi cago, a man of national reputa- tion. who is employed as judge in practically all of the big ken nel shows of the country.
 The brick barn just opposite the grandstand is being remo- deled, painted and put in shape for an automobile show. and al ready the major portion of the space in this building has been sold to the automobile dealers of the state.
 Perhaps the improvement that will be the most pleasing to vis- itors at the Fair this year is the ladies' rest room. This room has Geen completely renovated. and refurnished. Here the wis itors at the Fair will find a cool place to rest and make them selves comfortable. A check room will be operated in connec- tion with this department, where bundles and wraps may be shocked.
 Taken all in all the Fair Grounds will present an entire ly new appearance this year and the Fair Commission have left nothing undone which will con- tribute to the success of the Fair and the comfort of the public.

Expenditures Increase Enormously

Extract from Official Message from Gov Capper of
the Legislature of Kansas 1915 Session. pages ILL of
enate Journal of Kansas
Kansas, in common with other states, has expert
enced the last decade an increase in the cost Of gov
eminent and the burdens Of taxation far beyond the in
crease of population In twelve years public expendi-
lures have increased SO per cent in the state n per cent
in the county, 53 per cent in the city, 19 per cent in
township; 1872 per cent for schools"
The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1916-05-20

A reduction in light and water rates,
many long needed improvements are
the results of commission government.
The tax rate was increasing every year
and so was the excess of expenditures
over receipts. Bonds were being Is
sued and condition seemed to be grow
ing worse all the time. These things
cannot happen now as the commission
form of law makes it an offense for
which commissioners vacate their
Offices If they, create or continue an in
debtedness for which there is no in
come to pay.
JUNCTION CITY.
This city has been under the com
mission plan for three years and the
plan has been successful in it's opera
tion. The city is better managed and
more efficiently managed in every de-
partment than 1t was under the old
plan. The city also buys its own bonds,
a thing that has not been done until
1914.

PRATT.
We believe our success is due to cen
tralizatiOn of authority and responsible
ty given by the commission form of
government under which we are now
operating.
WICHITA.
The results obtained owing to the
greater efficiency of the new form of
city government, not at the time fully
appreciated perhaps, and the general
prosperous condition of our people is
amazing.

It compels the officials to keep an ac-
counting system, both of the assets and
liabilities of the city. To keep an ac-
cur2te record of its finances and above
all, it compels publicity so that all may
know where the money goes.
It will lead to a system of govern
ment on basis as all large business is
governed, dollar return for every dol
Tar spent, and must ultimately result in
lower taxation.
See what the result had been in a few
of the commission go verned cities.
CITY OF HORTON.
Through a reduction in the interest
rate on city obligations, the use of more
careful methods in the collection of dog
tax and poll taxes, and the saving of
interest through the paying off of a

municipal treasury of Horton has been
benefited to the amount of S2145 in the

1t is also reported that Beloit on May
9Th adopted the commission form.
What does commission government
mean?
1t means a new deal and a square
deal to all.
It gives the people chance to die
tate their own government.
1t does it by making every man di-
rectly accountable to every voter in the
city.
It elects city officials as citizens
rather than as ward partisans.
1t makes the men elected by the peo-
pie individually responsible for specific
duties.
1t gives the people the initiative to
make their own laws.
1t puts the public service on the ba-
sis of efficiency.
1t makes Office attractive for compe-
petent men, because it gives the official
chance to do big things for the city
and make a record.
It says to each city official, ''You
have plenty of authority You can t
dodge. You are in the limelight. Get
busy or get out. /"
It cuts out the official red tape and
makes the public servants deal directly
with the people.
