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 k Miller, present lieutenant governor and candidate for the governorship, was heartily applauded at the reg ul&r meeting of the Rotary club Wednesday noon. “It makes me mad every time I think of Valley products being barred in California and Florida I 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 I declared in emphatic tones. In according with Rotary ethics, the speaker assiduously refrained from mentioning his candidacy for the governorship. Ojaeralizing, the speaker de citaMd himself a Texan of the old 1 srh^'l who glorified 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 i of duty. I frequently welcome large i conventions t • the state and I never ) fail to get in a good word for the Valley.” 1 Relaxing into a humorous mood, Lt. Gov. Miller snoke of ’ -'res ent post as largely honorary. “I get $5 a day when the legis lature is in session and $2 the re mainder of the time.” he said. •‘However, I am generously given a $1C a day secretary, a $6 a day stenographer and a $4 a day 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 to send flowers tc C. L.
