awards than ever before in that de-
partment at the seventh annual
Cochise county fair, September 28,

Rev. II. c. Duckett, chairman of
the poultry department, said yester-
day that plans were well under way

done at the fairgrounds to prepare
for the poultry exhibits.
The site allotted for the poultry
department is larger than ever before
and at least 25 extra coops will be
available. Chairman Duckett declared
there would be no shortage of coops
this wear, problem which caused
considerable difficulty at the last
fair. He asked that all who expect
tc exhibit birds notify him as soon
as possible of the approximate num-
Der of birds they expect to enter.
Premium lists are being mailed tC
all farmers and poultry raisers in the
county and Duckctt called attention

He also called attention to an error
on Page "a of the premium list where
the Topper poultry ranch offers q
prize for the best and largest display
"of Rhode Island Reds of any stand
ard variety" It should read 'fol
the best and largest display of any
standard variety"

DOUGLAS
BRANDS STATE
GOVERNMENT

The Arizona Republican Wednesday
morning printed the following inter-
view with Representative Lewis Doug
las, attacking the state adminiStra-
tion
ARIZONA has the most deplorable
state administration in it's history
Lewis w. Douglas, democrat, United
States congressman from Arizona de-
clared last night on his return from
Washington, D. c. where he has been
busy the past few months arranging
his office and preparing for the coming
session of congress.
81 have no heSitancy," Congress
man Douglas declared, t'in branding
the present state administration as the
most inefficient and deplorable in the
history of Arizona. Politics is the
dominant factor in the state govern
ment which is controlled by group
of political tricksterS seeking to fur
ther their own personal aims. CAN
not boast of Arizona'S government. in
fact, I feel ashamed when look about
me and see how this state is controll-
ed"
The Swing johnson bill will pass
the next session o. congress in the
opinion of Mr. Douglas. 'I feel that
the Denver conference has done much
to help Arizona'S case and the meet
ting to be held in Denver on Septem-
ber 19 will further bolster our case.
But sentiment among congressman in
dicates that the Swing johnson bill is
going to pass.
The steadily climbing tax rate, MI.
Douglas says, is keeping capital out OF
Arizona. Throughout the east this
increasing tax rate is discussed in the
financial centers and it is deplorable
that our state administration is boost
ing this tax rate instead of cooper
ating with the legislature to keep down
increasing governmental costs.
when say the state admlnlStra-
ton is deplorable I mean just what I
say. In fact, I would add that the
present state administration is abSo-
lutely rotton and with the group OF
politicians in control of state affairs
we can expect little relief. The citi-
zens Of Arizona should feel ashamed OF
affairs here and make such a protest
that politics will be kicked entirely out
of the state capitol and an efficient
'business-like administration substitute
ed to guide the affairs of this growing
commonwealth"
Mr.. Douglas will be in Phoenix for
several days after which he will leave
to inspect his mining property in the
part of the state. He will
return to Washington in about 80 days.
Mrs. Douglas remained in the east.
