WE DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH about over-
population, but future generations are going to
have their hands full handling this problem.
We read this week that the tight little island
of England is aready having problems So much
so that someone has said that the dead will force
Ihe living off the island Graveyards are already
filling the country For this reason more than a
third of the people who die there are cremated.
ABOLT THE TIME we think that inflation
is being controlled, and maybe the trend will
start down, there is a strike or something
that keeps commodities going htgtier.
This week we have another rail strike to
plague the country. These strikes ultimately
mean higher costs.
Then the Postoffice Department decided to
raise the cost of postage, and that, loo, caus-
es more inflation.
The Texas legislature has passed the big-
gest budget in the history of Texas, and this
means more taxes, and another spiral in infla-
tion.
As we write this (Monday) we are wonder-
ing if the state will pass Ihe four amendments
that were voted on Tuesday. The first propos-
ed amendment was the ethics amendment.
Nobody' Was against ethics. But as usual, ev-
ery good bill carries riders that ran t be pass-
ed, otherwise than riding a popular bill. The
rider will give the legislature the right to
raise the salaries of members and state offic-
ers. Another spiral in inllation.

CONGRESSMAN OM AR III HI FSON of Tex-
as has recently introduced legislation lli.it
would amend Part II of the Interstate ( oiu-

While there has been a historic exemption
for farm vehicle operators in the Motor ( arti-

tions were proposed to require that all drivers
Of farm trucks must lie at least 21 and have
a medical certificate not mure than 21 months,
