domestic industry, by offering premiums for the best exhibits thereof,

it shall be the duty of the county commissioners of such county to
provide annually for the levy of a tax and to appropriate annually the
proceeds of such tax for the payment of such premiums as may be offered
by the association having in charge the holding of such fair for
improvement in livestock, tillage, crops, implements, mechanical
fabrics, fine arts, and articles of domestic industry and to pay a portion
of the principal and interest on bonds issued under the authority of K.S.A.

the making of such levy shall have been ordered by a majority of the
electors voting on the proposition. Whenever in any
county contemplated by the provisions of this act, a wheat show and a
livestock show shall both have been held for more than three years,
the amounts available for premiums, as herein provided, shall be divided
