Abortion Clause Questioned
The Texas Department of In-
surance has proposed guidelines for
a new health insurance plan for
small businesses that would cover
the expenses from an abortion if
the life of the mother is endan-
gered, the fetus is diagnosed as
nonviable or the pregnancy resulted
from rape or incest
But Bill Price, president of
Texans United for Life, said the
guidelines should be clarified If
the guidelines are adopted, he said,
small businesses would be forced to
pay for abortions because "an un-
born baby at three weeks is clearly
nonviable."
Jim Davis, spokesman for the
state Department of Insurance, said
the proposed guidelines arc based
on common insurance practices
and do not require any employer to
buy health care.

United Telephone disputes the

company overearned at least S3
million in 1992.
The PUC and United Telephone
are negotiating for a settlement to

would have to prove it is not

News
By Keith Peck
last month California was hit with a series of destructive underbrush
fires These fires were very selective. In some areas whole neighborhoods
were destroyed while in others all the houses except one or two would be
totally burned. At least in one case a man saved his home by violating the
law The Endangered Species Ac'st mandates are directly implicated in
much of California’s fire-borne tragedy
This man who will remain nameless because he fears prosecution
bought twenty acres of hilltop land just east of Los Angeles in 1991.
When he applied for a building permit, he was told that his "ranch" was
part of a study area for the kangaroo rat which was protected under the
Endangered Species Act. So he was denied the use of his property. What
we are talking about here is using private property for a rat preserve. No
compensation was offered which in my book violates the owner's
constitutional rights.
Since 1988 some one hundred million dollars of our tax payer money
has been spent to protect the "K" rat. This is more ridiculous than the
spotted owl controversy. All in all over four hundred thousand acres of
Southern California land (mostly sage brush) is off limits to humans.
On October 27 this man saw the fire approaching. He jumped on his
tractor and plowed a fire break around his house and out buildings. If there
were any "k" rats around, he completely destroyed their habitat. That was

Martha Whitehead shocked more
than a few political observers last
week w ben she recommended the
abolishment of her office
Whitehead, who was appointed in
July by Gov Ann Richards after
then-Treasurer Kay Bailey
Hutchison was elected to the U.S
Senate, said she believes the duties
of the State Treasury Department
can be merged into the office of the
state comptroller
The former Longview mayor
said she will ask voters to approve
a constitutional amendment to
abolish the Treasury Department
The department, with about 250
employees and an $ 11 million an-
nual budget, manages the stales
investments, administers un-
claimed property laws and enforces
tobacco taxes
The comptroller's office, which
has about 2.900 employees and a
$120 million annual budget, serves
as the state's revenue collection
agency, enforces tax laws and is-
sues economic forecasts.
Shortly after Whitehead's an-
nouncement, Comptroller John
Sharp issued a statement calling it
a "historic day in Texas state gov-
ernment."
