Wide variance in election
costs over the state have been
pointed up by Secretary of State
Bob Bullock In a recent report.
Bullock said primary expenses
ranged from 36 cents per voter
(Democrats) In Travis County
to $4.83 (for Republicans) in El
Paso County.
Some county chairmen man-
aged a “thriftier, better-organ-
ized election,” while others
spent the maximum amount au-
thorized. said the chief election
officer.
“These figures have reaffirm-
ed our belief that single polling
places for both parties, with
primaries financed through the
county clerk's office, would be a
positive step toward reducing
our primary election costs,* said
Bullock.
Bullock noted this breakdown
for major counties:
Travis: Democratic cost per
poter, 36 cents; OOP cost $2.50.
Harris, Democratic, 61 cents;
OOP cost $2 44.
Tarraiit, Dem., 610; GOP $1.83.
Dallas, bemo., 57c; GOP, $1.94.
Bexar, pern. 590; GOP, $2.65.
El Paso, Dem., 500; GOP, $4.83.
Nueces, Dem. 520; GOP, $4.48.
Higher unit cost for Republi-
cans is not surprising, due to
the small size of the OOP pri-
mary, Bullock said.
In some counties, the Secre-
tary of State complained, 400
voting machines were allowed
where "half as many” probably
would have done the job.
COURTS SPEAK
A. U. S. Supreme Court devl-
slon holding the death penalty
unconstitutional left uncertain
the fate of 41 Texas prisoners
on death row.
A federal court at Brownsville
held five Texas laws used in
labor disputes are unconstitu-
tional and scored the role of
Texas Rangers In a 1966-67
Starr County farm workers’
strike.
The State Supreme Court next
fall will hear arguments con-
cerning the extent of a health
insurance policyholder’s rights

representation In policy sales..

peals o reded new trials for two
men who had earlier received
death sentences which had

Supreme Court, and puheld Gov.

sentences for two others under
similar circumstances. The
Court affirmed a fifth death
penalty. ^
The Third Court of OtvJl Ap-
peals affirmed a trial court

couple did not have sufficient
mental capacity to understand

FLIBUSTEK MARK SET
Sen. Mike McKool of Dallas
cracked the world’s filibuster
record during the special legis-
lative session, arguing 42 hours
and 33 minutes for more funds
to Improve mental health-men-
tal retardation services.
McKool’s feat, which immobil-
ized both houses of the legisla-
ture for nearly two days, may
have thrown the session time-
table out of kilter.
Indications are there Is little
hope of winding up work on the
$4.1 billion appropriations bill
before Friday. Additional feder-
al funds totalling nearly $128
million apparently will be assur-
ed for welfare.
Senators scheduled a mid-
week clash over adoption of new
rules which include a contro-
versial provision to authorize
consideration of appointments
by the governor in open session.
Senators traditionally have done
this work behind closed doors,
and showed reluctance lest week
to depart from the old practice.

Highway Commissioner member
Charles Simons told Texas Press
Association at It’s summer
meeting In Corpus Christl.
He said the federal govern-
ment should finish the inter-
state system as pledged, then
release to the states responsibi-
lity for collection of the special
highway ueer taxes Invoked In
1956 to establish the highway
trust fund.
Simons expressed concern o-
ver schemes to divert trust fund
revenues to build rail mass
transit systems In the East and
Midwest. He charged a proposal
for governmental reorganization
is a move to dominate the high-
way program and to divert
highway user tax revenues to
wild-eyed welfare and other so-
cialistic schemes.

Liberty la a priceless treasure.
It Is sometimes won In conflict
with those who would, deny li-
berty and seek to oppress men
or nations for gain to them-
selves. We all know the history
of the U. S. A. We remember
that the taxation yoke became
unbearable for the colonists who
had no voice in their govern-
ment. Negotiation was futile,
and revolt - armed revolt be-
came the order of the day.
When the colonists had won
their freedom they were at li-
berty to set their own form of
government. They elected to set
up a form of government differ-
ent from most of the govern-
ments of Europe. They chose
the means for the exercise of
authority for the best advantage
to the people of the new nation.
A Constitution was set up and
agreed upon. Since those first
