MILLER BACKS.
VALLEY FIGHT
Lieut.. Governor Would Bar
Florida, California
Produce

Taking a vigorous stand for VAL
ley products as opposed to those
from California or Florida, Barry
Miller, present lieutenant governor
and candidate for the governorship,
was heartily applauded at the reg
uiar meeting Of the Rotary club
Wednesday o
1T makes me mad every time
I think Of Valley products being
barred in California and Florida
while products OF those states are
not barred from this state. I assure
you that if I possibly can. I will
have such legislation passed and
enforced" the lieutenant governor
declared in emphatic tones.
In according with Rotary ethics,
the speaker assiduously refrained
from mentioning his candidacy for
the governorship.
GeTeralizing, the speaker de-
Glars himself a Texan Of the old
schobl who glorifled in the size
srd might Of the Lone Star State.
Before long, Texas will be the
greatest state in the union and the
Valley will be one Of its showplaces
and productive hotbedS. In my line
OF duty. I frequently welcome large
conventions u the state and 1 never
fail TO get in a good word for the
Valley"
Relaxing into a humorous mood,
1t. Gov. Miller spoke Of his pres
ent post as largely honorary.
Il get IS a day when the legis-
Iature is in session and So the re-
mainder Of the time" he said.
However. I am generously given a
sic a day secretary. a SIS a day
stenographer and a 81 a dav janitor.
During the off season I make the
janitor split with me-"
w. S. West thanked the speaker
for his talk and sincere words for
the Valley.
The club voted 70 send flowers
&c c. L. JeSsup who is in a hoSpi-
tai at Temple.

ital will present most attractive
appearance, architecturally and seem
ically.
Prohibition, the most controversial
amendment to the constitution, is
about to celebrate its tenth anniver-
sary, and from the present outlook
it will be an inharmonious one. VAR
ious leaders in the senate and house
are expressing divergent opinions as
to why the Eighteenth amendment
has not been enforced. Many legis-
lators refuse to discuss the issue out
side of the capitol, but Senator BOrah
of Idaho, an ardent dry, who took
the current prohibition dispute to the
executive mansion a few days ago and
discussed it thoroughly over the
luncheon table with President Hoover,
has no hesitancy in stating that the
ills of enforcement lie in the per-
sonnet to which it is entrusted. Pro-
hibition, the inexhaustible topic will
probably continue to hold the center
of the arena long years after the
tariff, farm relief and other impor-
tant present legislative measures are
forgotten.
In some quarters it is believed that
the submission of report by the
Law Enforcement commission will be
signal for Showdown" of wet and
dry strength. The original appropri-
alton of $250,OOO contemplated the in
vestigatiOn of prohibition alone, and
when the commission was broadened
to study all forms of crime some re-
sentiment arose in the senate. Wheth-
er or not this commission has a right
to exist in the future will, no doubt
be argued to and fro in Congress for
many months. However, the old ak
