alio i iin — i wo impor-
tant water measures — one
controversial, the other
generally accepted — will
be on the general election
ballot.
Proposition 1 would
amend the state constitu-
tion to authorize another
$400 million in water
development bonds.
Proposition 2, by consti-
tutional amendment, seeks
to authorize another $100
million in bonds for water
quality.
Under Proposition 1, no
more than $35 million in
proceeds from bond sale
could go to any one project
without aproval of the leg-
islature. None of the
money couia go to develop-
ing water resources from
the Mississippi River.
The additional water
quality bonds would go to
grants and loans to local
governments to improve
sewage treatment systems.
Gov. Dolph Briscoe and
other statewide officials,
including Lt. Gov. Bill
Hobby and House Speaker
Bill Clayton, support both
issues.
Proponents argue the
water development fund is
almost exhausted and ade-
quate water supplies may
dc jvCpsrdizsd in ths futurs
unless more money is pro-
vided. The fund has fi-
nanced about $300 million

in development projects
and about $100 million is
left.
Environmentalists argue
againBt giving Water De-
velopment Board uncon-
trolled authority to spend
on water projects. Opposi-
tion spokesman claim there
is no plan, environmental
study or economic assess-
ment to guide the $400
million bond authority.
Courts Speak
The State Supreme
Court is poaderinf? latest
arguments over constitu-
tionality of a law prohibi-
ting sale of 46 items on
both Saturdays and Sun-
days by the same store.
The high court held
sheriffs have no power to
force lawyers to put up
security as a condition for
making bail for clients.
A yacht owner must pay
$141,760 in damages for
taking property from a
$35,000 crafi, the Supreme
Court held.
Upiioirting a si.S minion
judgment in a products lia-
bility suit growing out of
an alleged carburetor de-
fect on a 1970 Chevrolet
pickup would leave man-
ufacturers without defense
in such actions, General
Motors attorneys told the
Supreme Court in a Hous-
ton case.
Funds Approved
The House Higher Edu-
cation Committee approved
increased funds for tuition
equalization grants.
Under the program, stu-
dents can get as much as
$600 a year toward educa-
tional expenses. TEG re-
ceived $16 million in legis-
lative appropriations this
year.
The House committee re-
commended the legislature
appropriate 50 per cent of
funds for 150 new family
medicine residency prog-
rams in 1977 and 30 addi-
tional places in 1978.
An increase of about
$4,950,000 would be re-
quired for the additional
assistance aimed at in-
creasing the number of
physicians in Texas.
Another recommenda-
tion of the committee
would require graduate
students who serve as
teaching assistants to com-
plete internships first and
would limit the number of
assistants to the number of
fulltime faculty members
on each campus.
At the same time, the
committee lamented sharp
increases in state spending
for Texas colleges and uni-
versities during the last
decade.

Atty. Gen. John Hill
claims efforts of his office
under the Deceptive Trade
Practices-Consumer Pro-
tection Act have been suc-
cessful in curbing fraud.
Since January 1973, the
attorney general's office
has filed 250 lawsuits and
processed 35,000 com-
plaints, collected $305,000
in civil penalties and $3
million in restitution to in-
jured consumers.
Hill said preventive law-
suits to stop fraud before it
harms consumers afford
more effective protection
than action to rccnvpr
money already taken.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jasper
and Mrs. Ethel Marie
Ferrell, all of Houston,

mother, Mrs. L. S. Jasper.

Can we afford four more years
without effective leadership?

♦J
*;
There is a critical decision to be made
on November 2nd. it goes far beyond
the question of which Presidential
candidate can govern with integrity
and honesty. We must determine
which candidate has the ability and
strength to lead our country out of
economic chaos, and the vision to
see that ah Americans—not just the
powerful and influential—have a
better future.
During the past two years, the mid-
dle class has paid far too dear a price
for a President lacking that ability.
Since Gerald Ford took office, the
unemployment rate has risen 50%,
from - or 5 million oeople, to 7.9%
- — - i ■
or 7-1/z million jobless Americans.
Today's inflation rate of 6% is higher
than it was at any time between the
Korean War and the inauguration of
Richard Nixon.
The 1368 food dollar is now worth
57<t.
Mr. Ford's budget will account for
the largest single deficit and more
than 1/3 of the public debt incurred dur-
ina our entire 200-year history.
Real GNP has actually declined
during each of Gerald Ford's two
years in office.
And who is most affected by these
distressing statistics? Not the Wash-
ington establishment, or the economic
elite courted by the Republicans. The
burden falls on the person who can
least afford it: the average American.
Jimmy Carter means to change aii
that. As President, he will make gov-
ernment responsive to your needs.

Kkx Reform: "The average
family in this country
actually pays a higher
proportion of their income in
taxes than the average family
that makes more than a mil-
lion dollars a year. That's dis-
graceful. We need to move
toward a truly progressive
and simplified tax system,
with reduced tax rates for the
average American."
Economy: "We'll never have
a balanced budget nor an end
to the inflationary problems
as long as we have 7-1/2 mil-
lion people out of work. Em-
ployment needs to be the
major thrust of the whole
domestic policy of our
government."
Efficiency in Govern-
ment: "We now have in the
federal government the most
bloated, confused, wasteful
bureaucracy ever created.
There's no way to get an
answer out of Washington
and no way to understand
what's going on there. We
need to reorganize com-
pletely the executive branch
of government, making it fair,
efficient, effective, and re-
sponsive to our people's
needs."
Housing: "No government
that cared about our neigh-
borhoods would stack the tax
deck against them. A landlord
can let a building run down
and make a good living on
tax breaks. But when a home
owner spends a little hard-
earned money fixing up his
home, the assessor raises his
taxes. And the FHA no longer
cares about families getting
started in their own homes. I
intend to restore the FHA to
the time when, for a down
payment, a family could get
a mortgage which the gov-
ernment would insure.
Health Care: "We need a
nationwide health care deliv-
ery system which will make
adequate health care a right
for all people."
Jimmy Carter has the
strength to take charge of
our government. If you are
tires of paying the nigh
price of Republican ineffec-
tiveness, you have only one
choice on November 2nd,
and that choice is for change.
