STATE FAIR NEWS

The Arizona State fair began
in 1905 as the Arizona Terri
torial Fair when an act intro
duced in the legislature by w.
T. Webb of Graham county
was signed March 16 of that
year by Territorial Governor
Joseph M. K. Kibbey
The first Arizona Territorial
Fair had an appropriation of
$500. This amount was pro-
vided for each of the years 1905
and 1906. Under an amend
ment introduced in the legisla-
ture in 4907 by Donald Nc
Intyre of Yuma, the appropria-
ton was increased to $4,000
annually.
Arizona statutes provide that
no two members of the State
Fair commission may come from
the same county. The present
commission has it's chairman
from Maricopa, it's treasurer
from Gila, and it's third member
from Navajo.
The Arizona State Fair
grounds at Phoenix were pur-
chased in 1909 by money ap-
propriated by the territorial
legislature. The amount pro-
vided for the purchase was
$4,000,

CONGRESSMAN DOUGLAS
ON SPEAKING TOUR

The part played by the recon

ing the wave of fear which
threatened to engulf the entire
nation was explained to voters
in various parts of the state dur
ing the past week by Congress
man Lewis w. Douglas in a
campaign tour which included
talks in several Arizona cities.
After making addresses in
Bisbee, Douglas, Nogales and
Tucson Congressman Douglas
swung northward pausing at
Chandler while enroute to Flag
staff and Prescott and making
a stop at Wickenburg on his re-
turn trip to Phoenix. The
Douglas meetings have been
attracting large crowds which
have been enthusiastic in cheer
ing the speaker during his frank
and courageous discussion of
public questions.
Douglas points out that the
reconstruction finance copora-
tion fits into the main objective
of the last session of congress,
that of restoring confidence, re-
viving industry and returning
men and women to work.
with the great wave of fear
engulfing the country and $50,
600. 100000 of deposits, the saw
ings of a life time, threatened to
be wiped out, was it wrong for
congress to take steps to halt
the wave of fear? Was Con-

tions collapse?

"In the closing days of the
session, congress authorized the
R. F. G.. to lend 100000, 900
to the states for direct relief of
starving families. 1t also has
authorized loans to states, coun-
ties and municipalities for self
liquidating construction projects
in order that employment would
be provided. Was it wrong for
congress to stop suffering and
to give employment to men?

Other important legislation
such as the revenue and econo-
my bills which helped to main

full payment of the bonus which

Douglas in his addresses.

INTERESTING LETTERS
HONORINC JOHN J. BUGC

| 10TH HIIIlSSu uIldSi OOOh dH LII
vestigation of the past school
record of Mr.. John J. Bugg,
democratic candidate for the
office of County School Super
intendent. The following let
ter recently received by Mr..
Prouty from R. E. White, Sup
erintendent, Department of Ed
uca ton, County of Runnels
Ballinger, Texas, says:
''Mr. Bugg was the county
superintendent preceding my
self, having held the place for
six years, distinguishing himself
as an executive of the first order.
The school system of this coun-
ty has been referred to by our
State Department of Education
as a model for the entire state
and Mr.. Bugg's ability as an
organizer and as an executive is
responsible in a large measure
for this record.
When | became snperinten-
dent, | found forty-two school
boards well organized and well
posted in the duties incumbent
upon them, a group of teachers
inspired with a seal for a well
defined county program of edu-
cation, and a financial system
which showed each district to
be in excellent fiscal condition,
all of which was the direct re-
suit of Mr.. Bugg's careful man
agement. He is a man of un-
tiring energy, strong personality
and sound scholarship who can
be safely trusted to promote a
safe, sane program of educa-
tional progress in keeping with
the economic status of his school
unit. AS superintendent of one
of our independent districts
prior to his election to this
Office, he exhibited the same
qualities as an executive.
Having known Mr.. Bugg,
both as a teacher and as county
superintendent, | believe that |
am qualified to testify as to his
ability and integrity. In addi-
ton to these qualities, he is
gentlemanly and courteous at
all times in discharging the du-
ties of his profession, and is one
whom | can heartily recommend
to any county needing his SER
vices"
Mr.. Prouty also has a letter
from S. d. Williams, who for
fourteen years has been presi-
dent of the County Board of
Education, Runnels County,
Texas. Mr.. Williams has the
following to say based upon his
association with Mr.. Bugg as
President of the County Board
of Education during his admin
istration:
In all his work we always
found Mr.. Bugg faithful, con-
scientious and enthusiastic and
his judgement was always safe
to follow, whether given to his
teachers or to his trustees.
He has a lovable disposition
with school children, yet his dis
cipline was always of the best,
because he had the respect and
admiration of all
The County Board always
found his leadership sound and
safe, and l can truthfully say
that we always followed it in
matters of weighty Importance.
His family also, is an asset to
any community and l feel sure
that your people will not be dis
appointed should you use him
as your executive" adv

REALTORS TO FIGHT
STAMP TAX IN BILL
Association Against 50-Cent
Levy on Each $500
in Conveyances.

The stamp tax on real estate con-
veyances, incorporated in the Federal
revenue bill as it passed the House,
will be protested vigorously by the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate Boards
during consideration of the measure by
the Senate.
The stamp tax feature of the bill
provides for levy of so cents on each
$500 in conveyances. The realtor Or
ganization opposed the stamp tax when
it was suggested originally by the
Treasury Department. 1t was stricken
from the Democratic tax bill as re-
ported out by the Ways and Means
Committee. but was restored when the
House was offering substitutes for the
defeated general sales tax
The National Association of Real
Estate Boards is inviting leaders in va
rious cities to join in a widespread
public protest against the tax Esti-
mates are that the tax will produce ap-
proXimately $10,000,000.
The association protests against the
stamp tax on deeds not only because
real estate already is heavily overtaxed.
It protests because the stamp device. as
shown when 1t was formerly used as a
war emergency tax measure, proved
prolific source of fraud" The amount
of stamps to be placed on a deed was
graded upon the value of the property
transferred The addition of more
stamps than were legally necessary was
a trick frequently employed to give an
exaggerated impression of land values
for the parcel involved, 1t declares.
