Obituary
, The Speaker
1 Reports ^
means that a yearly salary
of $10,000 is chopped to
$5,500 through direct and
hidden taxes. To make
matters worse, govern-
ment regulation amounts
to $1,800 per family and
inflation takes an $800
dollar bite. At the $10,000
salary level that means
spendable income amounts
to $2,900.
To scrape away all the
cosmetics and get down to
basics, that is the reason I
feel there has to be a
stopping place for govern-
ment. These are some of
the reasons we have to put
a lid on government.
These, too, are very good
reasons why the people
who are breaking their
backs almost one half of
every week to pay taxes
should have as much of
their tax money returned
directly to them through
tax cuts as is possible.
I don't see any foresee-
able change in federal
policies to halt spending us
to death.
We in Texas are in some-
thing of a unique situation.
We have a projected bud-
get surplus approaching 30
per cent of our current
spending levels. We have
the opportunity at this
junction in our state's
history to reverse the free-
spending syndrome and at
the same time cut taxes.
Government is the lead-
ing consumer, employer
and customer in our whole
economy and the money
squeezed out to operate
comes from the pockets of
the 130,000,000 Americans
known as the middle class.
The Texas families earn-
ing between $10,000 and
$35,000 a year who buy the
most automobiles, account
for most travel and enter-
tainment costs and pay
more than half of the
federal income tax collect-
ed in this state, are those
most heavily taxed.
The dollars these
families held in 1970 are
worth only 70 cents today.
At the present rate, in ten
years, they will have to
earn twice as much as they
do now just to remain in
their present level. Add to
that the fact that our stan-
dard of living has dropped 3
per cent since a year ago.
It is mind boggling to
think that today more
people receive money from
Washington than there are
workers in the private
sector
We could go on indefi-
nitely about the abuses on
our dollars by ever-enlarg-
ing government, but the
truth of the matter is we
knew it all along, but we
don't know what to do
about it.
To my way of thinking,
we need to start at home
Here we are closer to the
citizens of our state and the
pains the people feel are
indeed transmitted to state
government.
We have got to learn that
the people, not govern-
ment. come first We need
to realize that the more
money government has to
spend, the more powerful it
will become.
rnrr
by Bill Clayton
Even before I entered the
Texas Legislature in 1%2.1
was opposed to the ever-
widening mouth of govern-
ment. I haven't changed
my mind one bit about
wasteful. bureaucrat-
stuffed and inflation-happy
government.
And if you are among the
two-thirds of the American
population who foot the bill
for running local, state and
federal government, then I
have some bad news for
you.
It may be that you
already realize that every
standard 40-hour work
week you spend Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday
morning working for the
tax collector. After that
you start working for your-
self.
The fact is that all taxes
now consume 45 cents on
everv dollar earned That

Texas Railroad Commission
The Railroad Commission is on* ot the most
powerful regulatory and conservation
agencies in America. Two candidates are in
the June Sth Democratic runoft election:
JERRY SADLER, 68, who entered politics in
the 1930's, was defeated as Land Commis-
sioner in 1970 after an official reprimand
from the Texas House for refusal to cooperate
in an investigation ... bad absentee record
in public office... investigated by a grand
Jury for using a state employee to run his
private motel... sued for civil tax fraud by
the IRS ... in 1969 the Dallas Times Herald
declared "Sadler has made Texas govern-
ment a universal target of ridicule and
derision," and in 1976 the San Angelo
Standard echoed, "Under Sadler, the Rail-
road Commission just might become the
laughing stock he once made of the General
Land Office."
JON NEWTON, 34, three-term House member
with solid record of public service ...
authored the law regulating strip mining ...
fought for a Public Utility Commission ...
serves on Interstate Oil Compact Commis-
sion, Mining Council of Texas, Governor's
Energy Advisory Council, House Energy
Resources Committee (vice chairman)...
endorsed by major newspapers throughout
Texas... described by the Lubbock Avalan-
che-Journal as "the resident expert on
energy matters in the Sta|e Legislature" ...
in the first Democratic primary his Bee
County neighbors gave him an 85%
majority over his seven opponents.
Texas' energy and utility rate problems can
be solved only by vigorous, responsible
leadership and fresh approaches.
VOTE FOR THE QUALIFIED,
RESPONSIBLE CANDIDATE.
VOTE JUNE 5 FOR JON NEWTON.
