B.

everything burka says he doesn't think the legislature is all that bad. He doesn't agree with the old joke that, instead of limiting the legislature to meeting 140 days every two years, the Texas Constitution should limit it to two days every 140 years. "Considering the fact it (the legislature) labors under a constitution that in practice is binding and restrictive; and that it deals with an outmoded state government, it does a pretty good job," he saldV Burka, in Tyler Thursday speaking to an American Association of University Women meeting, added the last legislature did a fairly good job, considering it was dealing with a lot of complex issues, such as school finan-ting, that hardly any state, let alone one as diverse as Texas, has been able to solve. "Just think of how the constitution fouls us up the biennial sessions, an executive department run by boards and commissions and special funds, such as the Highway Fund, that limit the legislature's freedom to act," he added. During his speech at the AAUW meeting, Burka outlined the method he and Griffin Smith use' to rate the legislators, a practice that annually ranks among Texas Monthly's most popular features.

The Galveston native said no one outside his immediate family is really interested in his personal evaluation of the legislators and of Texas Congressional delegation, so he and Smith base their ratings on how the legislators rate themselves. Since political power comes from how a legislator or congressmen is regarded by his peers, staff members, the press and other capital observers, Burka said the representatives "pretty well sort each other out" in the final ratings. In addition to his legislative duties, by the way, Burka has a second function with Texas Monthly editing the monthly contest, which has seen more puns on one page than any other site in mankind's history. A few Burkaisms, if you will: "Quest" Elmer Fudd's toothpaste. "The Beast and the Brightest," the story of a dragon and his adventures in Washington, D.C.

"Swish Family Robinson," the story of a basketball-playing family. New nicknames for Texas high school sports teams, such Qthe Buda Pests and the An-i Pants, which sparked such contest entries as the Hye Yawls, Burnet Downs, Purley Gates, Asa Spades, Weimar Republics and Geneva tions. urka is basically a very interesting man to talk to. I was impressed with him until this morning, when I discovered in one of his old articles that he is a lifelong New York Yankee hater. Funny, he didn't seem like a rat fink.

(UPI) A Cleveland couple was indicted Friday on first degree murder charges for the torture death of a 4-year-old girl. An outraged public circulated petitions demanding reinstatement of the death penalty. 3 No trial date was immediately set for Ronald and Wanda Maddux, accused in the slaying of Mrs.

Maddux's daughter, Melisha Morganna Gibson. The couple heard the indictments read in a packed courtroom. Castro turned the case over to the Arizona attorney general's office. Homicide detective Glenn Kemer confirmed police took the files from Harris' office to the Arizona attorney general's office on orders of the state's special prosecutor for the trial, William Schafer. Harris, who made his remarks about other murder charges while jury selection was in progress, was angered by Schafer, who agreed with the defense motion for a mistrial because of the county attorney's statements.

"I called the police and said, 'Get those files back" Harris said. "I told them, 'Mr. Schafer doesn't work here any He added: "This is the first time I've ever seen a state prosecutor ostensibly working for the county join in a motion for a mistrial for adverse publicity when that had been resisted previously Bolles, a prize-winning Arizona Republic newsman, was injured fatally June 2 when a bomb blew up his car. He died 11 days later. Castro gave "exclusive control" of the case to Arizona Attorney General Bruce Babbit, who said Harris' remarks had done "irreparable damage." In Tucson, Rep.

Sam Steiger, a longtime acquaintance of Bolles, said the mistrial implied "ineptness" in law enforcement that could invite criminal activity into the state. 31 Arraigned Here On Fraud Charges In Death Of Reporter Fired Lawyer Says State Ordered Raid dent newspaper said Friday in a copyrighted story. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to investigate the situation, the paper said. DDT (Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane) was banned by the EPA June 14, 1972, effective Dec. 31, 1972, after 15 years of federal regulation and study.

The agency based its decision on findings of health hazards and insufficient need to warrant use of the chemical. Since the ban the EPA has issued a limited number of special use permits. The agency may exempt federal and state agencies from the ban under emergency conditions. Texas does not have a special use perm it for DDT. Maddux, the girl's stepfather, told Criminal Court Judge James Witt he understood the charge against him Mra Maddux said, "I understand the charge but I didn't do it." Following their arraignment, the couple were taken to an undisclosed jail for their safety.

Bradley County Sheriff Lamar Lawson said his office was still receiving threatening phone calls concerning the couple. Hostile feelings against the couple escalated this week after investigators released statements from the couple that Maddux, resentful because another man fathered the child, fed the victim hot sauce until she vomited, forced her to walk through the house for hours and beat her when she tired.

He served as hearing examiner on the Lo-Vaca-Coastai States Gas case, involving the Arm's failure to supply gas at pre-set prices to its South Texas customers, and has said during his campaign the three Democrats on the board have given "blessing and approval" to Coastal States' "rip-off" of their customers.

Texas House Speaker Bill Clayton told Texas Forestry Association members here Friday state government is "more honest and responsive to the people's needs than it has been over the stretch of our history." Clayton was featured speaker during the afternoon business session of the 62nd annual TFA convention, which also featured dedication ceremonies at the Texas Forest Museum, with Lt.

Gov Bill Hobby cutting the ribbon opening the museum. The House speaker, commenting on state government for the next 50 years, said Texas has "twists and turns and a lot of roads to cross," but believes state government should lead the way to wherever the state is headed. He noted the state's budget, problems and obligations have multiplied in recent years and said Texas has the problems normally associated with a Railroad Commission candidate Walter Wendlandt said Friday commissioners have acted like politicians, not judges, for the past 12 years, failing to solve the Lo-Vaca-Coastal States gas problem because of political considerations, i Wendlandt, a Republican from Austin opposing Democrat Jon Newton in the Nov. 2 election, said during an afternoon interview when the current commission can't agree on an issue, it doesn't act. "I an independent voice should be on the commission," Wendlandt said.
