Many people felt tha.
investing in raw land was a good
way to to let your money yield
high dividends. But the
recession also caused land prices
to drop, or at least not continue
to rise as it had done over the
past 10 or 15 years.
Yet interest rates continued to
climb from 6 percent to 9 or 10
percent, creating a hardship on
investors who borrowed money
to invest in the stock market.

Carter Leading
A new poll by an

Carter-Walter Mondale
leading Gerald Ford-Robert
Dole substantially in Texas
The Honson-Hopkins
survey of 400 voters in 126
counties showed 51 per cent
favored or leaned toward
Carter-Mondale to 38 per
cent for Ford-Dole. Seven
per cent recorded unde-
cided, throe per cent de-
clined to answer, and one
percent said they would not
vote for either.
Voters under 35 showed
stronger support than older
ones polled.
In spite of the indicated
preference for Carter-
Mondale, 48 per cent of
Texas voters rate them-
selves conservative, 38 per
cent say they are moder-
ates, and only 11 per cent
give themselves the liberal
label.
Among voters under 36,
just 35 per cent say they are

dependents without party
identification. Eighteen per
cent state they are Republi-

Fortunately, the United States
has been moving out of the
recession and most of these
investments are now looking
much better than they did six
months or a year ago. Even
inflation has been on the decline.
But many people are
beginning to wonder just what
type of investment really is safe
and sound in this day and age.
Thousands of people began
investing in gold and silver as a
hedge against inflation when
they saw the dollar being eroded
over 12 percent a year. But
the price of gold has dropped to
nearly half of what it was when it
hit $200 an ounce about a year
ago. Silver also took a big dip in
price. Thousands of investors
lost lots of money putting their
money in what they felt was the
only "sound” investment at that
time.
Is there really a safe
investment around today that
will also pay high dividends?
Yes, there is. But it’s not the
ones in which most people have
put their trust and confidence
down through the years. And it's

migsion rules, had to pub-
liah notice in newspapers
for four weeks that it plans
the raise October 7. That’s
36 days from the day it filed
recommended new rates
withPUC.
The commission is ex-
pected to vote September 20
to require Bell to defend its
request in public hearings
Hearings will bs held
during the next three
months, and the regulatory
agency has 126 days after
October 7 to act on the rate
case.
PUC attorney John Bell
already has filed a proteat
that the rates are "exces-
sive,” and has requested
that action be suspended
during the 126 day period.
His motions will be consi-
dered by the three commis-
sion members at the Mon-
day (Sept. 20) hearing.
Also to be considered at
the pre-hearing conference
next week is a requeet by
Texas Municipal League to
permit city governments to
intervene in statewide rate
cases over which PUC has
original jurisdiction.
Richard J. Hoyer, mayor
of Monahans and chairman
of TML’s Public Utility
Council, argues that all es-
sential evidence pertinent
to the rate case cannot be
developed without inter-
ventions by city govern-
ments and other interested
parties.
Aid Up
Texas state and local
governments are becom-
ming increasingly reliant
on federal aid, Comptroller
Bob Bullock reported in a
recent study.
Federal aid is now run-
ning about a fourth of all
total revenue received by
state government.
The study showed more
than 82.2 billion was re-
ceived by Texas units of
government in 1976.
The figure has been in-
creasing about 16 per cent a
year, but the increase
slowed to 3.6 per cent and
3.4 per cent in 1974 and
1975.,
Texas, which ranked fifth
in total federal aid among
the states, ranks 47th in
per capita receipts.
For every dollar Texas
contributes in individual
federal income taxes to fi-
nance federal aid programs,
it gets back 82 cents in fed-
eral aid, according to
Bullock’s findings.

PHONE512/293 2335
Austin-We have started a new
program that will make it
much easier for my auditors
to keep track of the 16,000
new and used car dealers in
Texas to make certain the
state is getting all of the
motor vehicle sales tax that is
due.
I will explain how the new
program works by first telling
you how incredibly difficult
it has been in the past to
conduct an audit of a dealer.
Whenever you buy a car.
you and the seller make a
joint affidavit which is filed
at the county courthouse.
These affidavits are lumped
together in the courthouse
records by month.
If one of my auditors
wanted to check a particular
dealer, he would have to go
to the courthouse and sift
through all the affidavits on
file to find the ones relating
to that dealership
You can better imagine
the scope of the problem
when you realize that about
300,000 affidavits are filed
each month Looking for
affidavits from Joe's Used
Cars was something like
looking for a needle in a
haystack.
So we signed a i
interagency contract with tin
Texas Department o
Corrections to help solve ou
problem.
Now every county sends
their affidavits to the Texas
Department of Corrections ir
Huntsville on a monthly
basis. There they art
separated and filed by
dealership, by county and by
month in a new training
program at the Department
of Corrections.
When one of my auditors
wants to check a specific
dealer now all he has to do is
call Huntsville and have all
that dealer’s affidavits sent to
him.
The cost of this
arrangement is minimal-our
contract calls for us to pay
the Department of
Corrections $9.56 per day per
person employed in the
project. The cost will be far
offset by the results of our
audits.
Dealers are only required
to keep their records for four
years. This program will help
us reach our goal of auditing
25 percent of all dealers each
year, so that we check every
one of them during each
four-vear period.
