the latter's arrival: knight, the ter.

guests, and he tried to be with Miss
Ross when the latter assembled the
steps to the veranda after a walk with
Harold along the shore.
Did Miss Ross stoop and pat Knight

she did not. Instead, she kicked him
with her dainty foot, and Knight went
away with his tail between his legs,

THE COUNTY FAIR

AT Sonoita today the fourth annual fair of the
Santa Cruz County Fair Association will begin and
it will be without doubt the best from every point Of
view that has been held.
On account of war conditions the fair was omit
ed last year. So while this is the fourth fair it dates
back five years. But preceding that there were pro-
duct displays at annual pcnics for several seasons
Each year the displays grew larger until they became
fairs, although not so denomnated The necessity of
organization with fair grounds, premium lists,
regular entries, and permanent place for exhibits
and competitions apparent that the present as
sociation was organized, purchased the site at So
noita, and launched a regularly conducted Fair.
The fair has been success right from the start.
Every exhibition has been great Improvement upon
its predecessor from all points of view: Extent and
variety of exhibits, numbers in attendance list of at
fractions, etc.
Both state and county have made liberal ap-
preparations which help very greatly, enabling arg-
er and better premium lists adding to the number Of
exhibits displayed, and the general interest. This
there has been bumper crop in all lines and
there has been added to the fair buildings more room
for exhibits to make display space for everything Of
fered.
The directors of the Association, with the man.
ager Mr.. j. B. Bristol, have wrought faithfully and
well to make the fair success and they are entitled
to full credit for the excellent display which will be-
gin today and continue until Saturday evening.

proposed to Mr. Legarras resolution to endorse the
resolution of the Young Business Mems Association
viz That the present automobile stage service be-
tween Tucson and Nogales is Inadequate and should
be improved by running more stages-restoring some
of the lines taken off recently by the Corporation Com
mission; and that the Chamber should request the
Commission TO restore one more Of the lines cut
off. Mr. Barry took the ground that more would be
secured by addressing tie Commission automatically
than by going at it r0agh shod, seemed the dis
position of some of those present. Not through any
of sycophancy toward that body; but upon the
old adage: "1t is easier to catch flies with molasses
than with vinegar
But this newspaper cannot follow Mr. Barry, nor
even the Corporation Commission to the length that
it is to the best interest of the public that the Com
mssi should carry its power of regulation to redc
ing competition. The theory of the law stated by
Mr.. Barry, is that unrestraned competition in the
field of public utilities could be carried so far that
neither of the competing transportation lines recev
ing adequate return upon investment both would let
their rolling stock 60 without necessary repair until
public safety would be mperilled Such might be the
case with great railroads. having fixed investment of
millions of dollars in tracks, bridges stations and
terminals 1t is that theory that the state steps n
regulates competition by regulating rates of freighs
and fares But did Mr. Barry or the Corporation
Commission ever hear of case where two competing
railways were eliminated from competition by tear
ing up the tracks of one of them?
Without doubt the Corporation Commission has
been given great deal of latitude in these matters
but "The Oasis" believes that in small affairs like
auto stage lines, and the like competition would soon
eliminate any unnecessary lines without inconveni
ence to the public beyond such as would accrue ma:
turaly to enjoying greater number of opportunities
to travel than the volume of money paid would justify
Yet, as asserted in another article last week, the
fault is in the law rather than in the Corporation
Commission seeking to enforce it. When the law put
under control of the Corporation Commission all the
jitney busses, auto trucks auto stages, applying to
them the same economic theory that is applied to
great railway lines with their immense fixed invest
ments it opened the door to just such situations as
that under which Nogales suffers at the present tme
and gives color to charges of undue discrimination.
But nothing will be made by preciptating an
issue with the Arizona Corporation Commission.
Rather is Mr. Barry's proposition the better way.
THE BABY crop of Santa Cruz County will at
tract great attention at the Sonoita Fair this year
In that like in many other excellent features, Santa
Cruz County comes to the front.
