Sam w. Teagarden of Forest
Grove, has filed with Secretary
of State Anderson as a candidate
for lieutenant governor on the
republican ticket. He declares:
First, an honest grain market
would be worth millions to Mon
tana growers; second, enforce
ment of the initiative farm loan
law would save millions taken in
unfair interest rates; third, a
license tax on profit making
mines and power companies u.s.
ing the waters of the state would
lessen the heavy burden of tax
alton now borne by other classes;
this burden would also be les
sened by abolishlng a horde of
useless offices. Fourth, flour
mills should be compelled to
grind on the toll bases. Fifth,
legislation and administration
should promote and safeguard
the economic rights of men and
women who work. " After his
name Oh the ballot he desires
