In livestock judging Denison lost the
cup for judging dairy cattle BY q mar

In the other stock Judging contests
Denison was about the average.
This is the third annual contest Of
the kind held in Iowa, and each year

Importance and value Of these contests
are not generally appreciated. Many

interests.

Of only grocer all the bankers were put up, but
no voter cast his franchise for than banker
So was all down the line. When the men receiving
the highest number of votes in each class were de-
termined there had been drawn a body of seventeen
leading business men, no two of whom were from the
same line of business. All lines of business were rep
resented; omitted. Afterward as other
lines Of business were established they were given
representation upon the board And the board of
directors was truly representative body.
But the system described was altered. The Board
of directors increased in number to thirty; and
the provision to conne the elector to one candidate
in each calling abandoned. The bars were let
down for the voter to exercise his choice indis-
csi,njnatey. He could vote for all the bankers or
none of them; he could vote for all the grocers or
none; and so on What was the result? Why, there
is board of directors in which some lines of bus
ness have large representation while other lines are
without director. There are four bankers on the
board; there are three or four dealers in gents
furnishing; there are several grOcers while there
are a number of important calings without repres
entation
Then the offices seem to have fallen by pre-
scrptive right to certain men; the men sitting
IN the official chairs year after year. And the Of
fices always go to the same little clique Mr.. Curtis
seems to be the perpetual president The vice pres
dents belong to that same little crowd and there is
not frequently any change 10 those abroad who
survey the organization there is conveyed an impress
sion that this is one mans town-whch it is not by
great deal. There other people in Nogaes
capable of handling these organizations and the peo
pie atlarge have tired of seeing the old bunch
coming to the front in every civic activity whether
it is the Chamber of Commerce, the Fire Department
the Building & Loan Association the Santa Cruz
Club, or whatnot That is why the Young Business
Mems Association has become so strong and popular.
It gives opportunity for bringing to the front others
than the same old clique that have manipulated things
In Nogales so long. And = organization, which
was conceived and organized in the interest Of the
old crowd, was grabbed off by new men, and new
blood who have straightway proceeded to do things
the old crowd which they apt to continue doing.
To a man up tree, like "The Oasis" editor,
whose chief duty in Nogales now is to watch the
course of events and comment upon them, it is all
very edifying. But here's to the Young Business
Mems Association. The more power to it.

EDITORIALS:
THE MORE POWER YIN A..

The meeting of the board of directors of the No
gales Chamber of Commerce Tuesday evening
brought up some matters in connection with the pro-
posed consolidation of the Chamber of Commerce
with the Young Business Mems Association, that
gave opportunity for contrast between the two or
CARNATIONS; and at the time the discussion
drifted into amusing scrap between some of the
members that aroused some feeling in some quarters
There is doubt that the Young Business Mems
Association has made wonderful growth and with
in a few months has reached membership of near
ly 800 active energetic men, who have at heart the
best interests of the city, which they are determined
to further; while they have put over several very
good propositions for the good of the place, incud
ing the bond election the Civic Center proposition
the aviation field, etc.
Now the Chamber of Commerce has done some
very good stunts also, such the trade excursion
down the West Coast of Mexico, and other things
that can be mentioned But that the older body has
been losing the good opinion of many of the people
is apparent in the way the Young Business Mems
Association has taken hold of the popular magma
ton, and is becoming strong
The causes or the main cause for the popularity
of the newer organization was presented in the re-
marks Of President Curtis, Tuesday. evening, when
he stated that the Young Business Mems Association
is more democratic than the Chamber of Commerce.
That is just the point. Mr. Curtis ikened the Young
Business Mems Association to the New England
town meeting, where everybody has voice and vote,
while the Chamber of Commerce is a representative
body, smaller in number, elected by the members,
who discharge that duty but year, and then
have nothing more to say in anything.
Moreover the Chamber of Commerce has become
more aristrocratc and exclusive with the lapse of
time while by some peculiarities of manipulation
small and self perpetuating body to have siezed
the organization and are running it to suit them
selves. When first organized the idea was that the
Chamber of Commerce board of directors should be
representative body, with all the various lines of
business having member. With that idea there
put up for election directors all the men en-
gagged in business in the line city. But the members
voted for only one in each line All the grocers were
nominated; but voter put upon his ballot the name

AIDS STOCK GROWING

Ten dollars a ton loss for dry sugar pulp in
sidered a good investment by the Great Western
Sugar Company, for the sake Of stock growing and
fertilization of the SOIL The company is selling pulp
to the farmer as feed for cattle at S35 ton when
price Of $45 ton stands as an open offer upon the
Eastern market for this same pulp
The sugar company does not pose phian-
thropist in the matter however, because it considers
that in the interest of permanent industry, the
sacrifice of $40 ton now may NEAR prolonged life
Of the SOIL This also is consistent with the parity in
prices. Corn now averages about $50 ton, and the
equivalent of pulp to is about 70 per cent But
this is the minor viewpoint, increased tonnage per
acre is conducive to well balanced farming This
therefore is in line with the business methods for in
creased production in all lines Of business BY en-
couragng the beet farmer to coordinate stock rails
ing witt beet cultivation, both the farmer and the
sugar company will profit thereby.
