AUSTIN — Tax reform is
hot in Texas, but there will
be days in the next session of
the Texas Legislature when
the issue will have to take a
back seat to public educa-
tion.
Although Texas ranks low
among other states in fund-
ing for public education, the
state has its fair share of par-
ents and teachers.
Both groups are con-
cerned with quality educa-
tion, but right now the teach-
ers are more concerned with
making what they call a de-
cent wage.
The teacher pay raise issue
may well be the fulcrum
upon which other legislation
may rise or fall.
In the past, the public edu-
cation bill has been one of
the last to be passed in each
session. Some critics argue
that it is held hostage until
the last hour . . . and that’s
why Texas funding is low
By the time it comes for a
vote, the bill is pocked with
the sniper shots from every
leud in both chambers. Some
legislators have asserted pub-
licly that the public educa-
tion bill, like the women and
children on a sinking ship,
should be saved first by an
early passage in the Legisla-
ture. Then the other issues
can fight for passage like a
seat in a lifeboat.
Still, The Governor
They're assuming that the
governor, whoever it is at the
time, will rubber stamp the
Legislature’s early action. If
the governor chose to veto
part of it, the bill could still
find itself locked in debate
on the last day of the session.
That's not an unlikely
scenario with the present
Governor Bill Clements, es-
pecially if the bill contained
a pay raise for teachers
which is higher than he
wants.
If fact, last week Clem-
ents suggested that teachers
ought to be more concerned
with increasing effectiveness
in the classroom instead of
holding their hands out for a
raise.
Clements couldn’t care
less if his remark angered
the teachers, a group which
supported his 1978 oppo-
nent, former Atty. General
John Hill.
The Republican gover-
nor's opposition to a pay
raise for educators has been
labeled his personal vendetta
on their past support for
Hill.
The Other Side
Even if that is true to
some extent, Clements defi-
nitely has his own point of
view about the work ethic.

As a young man he moved
his feet and worked to be-
come a millionaire several
times over.
He slugged it out finan-
cially in the oil and gas fields
and built one of the world’s
largest oil well drilling firms.
He took over administra-
tion of the Pentagon at a
time when the Vietnam War
was, in the minds of most
Americans, undeniably a
hellhole.
Two years in the Gover-
nor’s Office probably has
not changed him much: he
still believes in a day’s pay
for a hard day’s work. He
may be telling the teachers
he docs not think they work
hard enough.
Teachers Clout
Around the State Capitol,
when someone asks if teach-
ers have much political
clout, one ironic reply is:
“did John Hill win the Dem-
ocratic nomination without a
runoff?” Because of teacher
support Hill won on the first
primary ballot over then-
incumbent Dolph Briscoe.
Teachers may have slacked
up a bit, because Hill lost to
Clements in the general elec-
tion.
Whether that’s true or not:
it brings to mind a political
adage recently spoken by a
legislator: "if they organize,
the teachers can get you de-
feated, hut you can’t count
on them to get you elected.”
Clements may have that in
mind when he stands up to
them, or he may simply be
wondering where the funds
for the pay raise are going
to come from.

Just as you do today, your
children will have a de-
pendable supply of natural
gas for their homes — if
they’re served by Lone
Star Gas Company.
In other words, we
aren't about to run out of natural gas. The
facts are strong and very reassuring.
Our supply is based on purchase con-
tracts for the gas from more than 19,000
wells in Texas and Oklahoma. And because
no well lasts forever, we prepare for your
future needs by steadily buying new long-
term reserves.
The fact that we’re well established in
Texas and Oklahoma also works in your
favor. Nine basins in
these two states are es-
timated to contain 50% of
the nation’s remaining
onshore gas reserves.
And Lone Star's pipeline
system gives us excellent
buying opportunities in eight
of them.
Producers drilled thousands of wells in
these major basins last year. They’re drilling
more this year. And well be shopping hard,
just as we always have, for the best energy
values for your future,
A Lone Star Gas Company
