			Dubuque (State of)--The "State of Dubuque" label developed in the late 1800s when the community had the reputation of going by its own rules and ignoring the rest of Iowa. [[PROHIBITION]] enforcement or lack thereof was thought as the last example of the Dubuque-attitude.

			This thought was soon lost in 1972 at the [[DUBUQUE COUNTY FAIR]]. Games of chance on the Midway were the issue. Three courts had stopped the enforcement by Iowa Attorney Richard Turner of a 121-year-old law which prohibited prizes to winners. On the morning of August 18th, three fairs were opening in Iowa--Fayette County with no games, the Iowa State Fair using a coupon system, and the Dubuque County Fair operating in violation of the attorney general's ruling with prizes. The Iowa Supreme Court threw out Turner's injunction and ruled the county sheriffs could enforce the fairs. Turner's assistant stated the state would only then get involved if it received complaints or news of games of chance in the media. No news or complaints were received, the fair officials claimed the games were the carnival's concern and not the fair board, and no state agents appeared.

			Consideration of the event included the fact that Turner had previously raided several church picnics in Dubuque County with poor public relations for his department. In 1972 he was also up for election. (Source: Accents, ''Telegraph Herald'', September 18, 1972, p. 7)
