PROCEEDINGS IOWA STATE FAIR MANAGERS ASSN. 41 



fellow brings stuff there without it he is the man that is liable to get 

 bumped, and I can't see any good reason for me worrying. We had 

 the same proposition down there with us this year and we stood 

 pat for a long time, but we didn't want any mixup or any trouble, 

 and I want to tell you I don't see any merit to it at all. If I have 

 got a herd of cattle that are immune and have got a herd of hogs 

 that are immune and you haven't, I am supposed to be perfectly safe, 

 and if you are fool enough to bring yours there and take chances 

 on it that is up to you. I don't see any good grounds for it at all 

 as far as that is concerned. 



Mr. Harvey : We had this same trouble up in our county and we 

 didn't have any idea as to what the law was, I didn't, and I don't 

 think any other member of the board did. But, however, we wanted 

 to find out if it was incumbent upon the fair board to see that this 

 law is enforced there, if it is, it is our duty to do it; or in other 

 words whether an outside party other than a member of the board 

 can file complaint that this man's hogs have not been immune just as 

 well as a member of the fair board. I want to know exactly the 

 ruling in that kind of a case. Whether it is incumbent upon mem- 

 bers of the board to see that it is done or whether it is the privilege 

 of the gentlemen exhibiting stock there to demand that that be done. 

 It puts the burden upon the association and angers a good many 

 of our exhibitors. They say why do you put the cost on me of $25, 

 $30 or $40, whatever it costs them, when others don't do it. If in- 

 cumbent on the fair board to do it I say let's do it, if not let's 

 abandon it. 



Mr. Barber: I think you are mistaken if you think the Animal 

 Health Commission or the veterinarian cannot make a rule and 

 enforce it and punish you when you don't enforce it. They have the 

 power to make these rules and the power to make a penalty. I had 

 it up a year ago with a group of county agents at Mason City, and 

 I think our county agent will bear me out, that they can make a 

 rule and can enforce it and can make you enforce it, you are the 

 one responsible and not the exhibitor. We have good men refuse 

 to show cattle unless you have your herds tuberculin tested and 

 have your barns properly disinfected, they wont come at all. 



Mr. Moore: I would like to hear from Mr. Corey. He ought 

 to know what the law is and what the penalty is. 



Mr. Corey: I am sorry Dr. Malcolm is not here. The way I under- 

 stand the law is the Animal Health Commission has authority under 

 the law to make these rules, but they first must be approved by the Ex- 

 ecutive Council, and each one of these rules here were approved by the
