victims, because it also outlawed
the tests for prison system internal
investigations.
. Eliminated provisions that
set up Attorney General Jim
Mattox to transfer money from
his child support program to
administration.
School Funding Threat
One bill the governor inked was
the school finance package, which
lawmakers hope will delay court-
ordered reforms in the public
school funding formula.
Looming on the horizon. and
potentially extremely expensive
- for taxpayers, is the Texas Supreme
Court hearing of the appeal of a
state district judge’s ruling that the
present formula is illegal.
Attorneys for poor districts,
which arc pitted against rich dis-
tricts in the case, said the Legisla-
ture’s $450 million appropriation
doesn't come close to a resolution.
Political Campaigning
Midland Entrepreneur Clayton
Williams, better known as the
cowboy in the TV ads for a firm
he founded, entered the GOP race
for governor last week amid a
windstorm of party criticism.
Some Texas Republicans, in-
cluding the party secretary, are
making sure everyone knows about
his numerous political contribu-
tions to liberal Democrats, in-
cluding Treasurer Ann Richards
and Attorney General Jim Mattox.
They charge the funds will show
up in the 1990 elections.
Williams, a legendary business-
man who has founded several
companies, said he gave the con-
tributions “as a businessman and
job creator,” but has been a Re-
publican since the day President
Harry S. Truman fired Gen. Dou-
glas MacArthur.
Meanwhile, Fort Worth state
Sen. Hugh Palmer said he will
not run for the congressional seat
expected to be vacated by Jim
Wright this summer, but will stay
on his course to replace U.S. Sen.
Phil Gramm.
Other Highlights
• The son of state Sen. Tati
Santiesteban, D-El Paso, got his
probation extended after being
charged with DWI for the fifth
time in almost as many years.
The senator criticized media
attention given his son while,
the judge explained that a jail
sentence for the wealthy senator’s
son would force the wife and
children on welfare..
• A Houston pollster who
usually works for Republican
issues released his survey which
indicates some 78 percent of
Texans approve of border fences,
tolls and limited entries to stem the
flow of illegal aliens across the Rio
Grande River.
One Democrat who responded
was Dallas Congressman John
Bryant, a candidate for attorney
general, who said the fence
could negatively impact the border
economy.

It is sincerely hoped, by a lot of thoughtful people,
that the events in China the past several weeks will
expose Communism for what it really is. Communism,
like most political philosophies is about power. In
recent years both Russia and China have indicated,
with words at least, that they repented of their former
repressive rule. Some of their deeds gave the rest
of the world hope that the two countries had moved
into a more benovolent sphere. China at least has
proven that our hope was ill-founded. Can Russia
exposure be far behind?
Many of the Chinese students who demonstrated
for democracy were educated in the U.S. It appears
that they learned more than the homeland bargained
for. I doubt that the colleges they attended prescribed
courses in democracy. They must have learned it
by osmosis. In trying to take a little bit of it home
with them, they came face to face with reality. The
Chinese government was not buying it. Many of the
students paid with their lives. Many more may face
the same fate. Freedom of thought and expression
has always exacted an exhorbitant price.
There are still thousands of students from China
in this country being exposed to our brand of democ-
racy. What will be the outcome when they return
home? If they dare to return home. Those who have
spoken out have all said that they were not advocating
the overturning of hte government. What they want
is less rhetoric and more action, and not the kind
of action they got.
Power does not tolerate any suggestion of change
that will diminish it's strangle hold on it's position.
If the young people of China ever expect to change
the system, many more will probably give their lives.
It is a noble cause and the sacrifice is worth it.
There are a couple of lessons we should have learned.
Number one, there is great disparity between Commu-
nist words and Communist deeds. Number two, abuse
of power* is not restricted to Communist* countries.

AUSTIN-On the heels of the
veto deadline, lawmakers returned
to Austin last week hoping to
quickly wrap up unfinished busi-
ness on workers’ compensation re-
form.
But many cynical observers said
they might be deadlocked for the
full 30 days, the maximum length
for a special session.
Gov. Bill Clements promised
to call special sessions until the
House and Senate agree on an
acceptable bill.
Business and labor forces failed
to reach a compromise in the
regular session and allay fears
insurance premiums will keep
rising while benefits for workers
diminish.
Right to Jury Trial
The critical issue is how to
resolve claim disputes, with the
House favoring an administrative
system while the Senate insists on
retaining the right of a jury trial.
On the first day of the special
session, Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby had
some harsh words for business
leaders who oppose jury trials.
“Who appeals to the courts
most?” he said. “The insurance
carriers-they appeal 57 percent of
the time, and yet the idiots who
represent the business community
say we don’t want a trial by jury.
You know, this is really kind of
silly.”
Vetoes $11 Million
Shortly before lawmakers con-
vened, Clements signed more than
1,000 bills into law, and vetoed
several others.
In all, the governor trimmed the
budget with veto power by more
than $11 million and eliminated
three state agencies.
The biggest zap was $3 million
from Agriculture Commissioner
Jim Hightower’s agency, a parting
shot for the liberal who took more*
heat than any other public official
in recent memory.
