thunderbolts to dispense, I wish he’d get back my sacerdotal generator from Maury Maverick. Jr., who, Henry has also announced, is in charge of excommunications. From Lyndon us high-low priests have learned that you don’t make appointments that have been leaked in advance. Once I’ve reclaimed the generator I’m going to threaten Henry with a thunderbolt if he doesn’t make public what he’s been calling Bob Sherrill. R. D. Dialogue New Tax Sources When the legislature starts again, taxes are sure to be the top issue. There are several untapped sources of revenue. Number one is the great wealth of oil and gas, which should contribute to the state that offers them so many advantages by a pipeline tax similar to that which Rep. Don Gladden suggested. Wherever the horses or greyhounds race, there is betting. We should legalize parimutuel betting and send the profits to the state Treasury. Texans are probably remembered by Northerners as whiskey toters. Just look at downtown Dallas on Friday night. That urge to finish the fifth causes a number of DWI’s. If we divide all that liquor jiggerwise and tax it, the state could profit by it. Whatever taxes the legislature enacts, let’s hope that the haves are taxed and the have-nots are spared. Peter E. Ryba, 11231 Midway, Dallas, Tex. Virtues of Bilingualism Your September 20 issue carries a letter entitled “Teach Them in English,” from a teacher in Big Spring. I am in agreement with her basic thesis: our school children should become thoroughly proficient in English. However, the lady ignores the proven fact \(as established in many countries and thoroughly documentlearned best if the vernacular \( Spanish, ignores, also, the virtues of bilingualism. My conviction, based on 43 years of teaching \(at all levels, first grade on upone-room schools to university graduate velopment is where you find it. In the Southwest, Spanish should be used as one of the school languages in at least those schools in communities where there is a substantial Spanish-speaking population or a Spanish-Mexican background. As for using Spanish on the playgrounds \(or in the classroom, for that imagine herself as a child in a school where the only language she and her parents knew was taboo. Fortunate is the child who goes to a school where English and education are not synonymous. . . . George I Sanchez, 2201 Scenic Dr., Austin, Tex. .

Economidy Takes Exception The “Political Intelligence” column of The Texas Observer of Sept. 30 irrationally and untruthfully labeled as “conservative” The Daily Texan, the student newspaper at The University of Texas. A conservative article appearing on the editorial page does not mean that the entire newspaper has a “conservative nature,” as The Observer implied. Departments outside the editorial page remain basically free of the editor’s control, and are overseen by a managing editor. As the headline above the article deliberately read, the farm workers were “viewed” \(by freeing the Texan of any editorial endorsement. Indeed, the editorial endorsement appeared only in the mind of the Observer’s editor. The Daily Texan too is “a journal of free voices” but it allows all points editorial page instead of blindly catering to one interest. After looking through the microfilm transcripts of the Texan when Mr. Dugger was Texan editor, I wish the same could be said of his editorial page.
