Paris News, Jan. 28, Howard- the quality of education and illegal aliens. However, Howard continued, the most commonly expressed concerns dealt with inflation and crime. When asked if they favored the use. of wiretapping and electronic surveillance in investigating felony drug cases, 82 percent of the district's respondants answered yes.

Eighty. one percent of those polled in Lamar and Red River counties answered yes, while 84 percent of those in Delta County answered in the affirmative. Only 17 percent of those questioned favored an increase in the present sales tax, district-wide, while 5 55 percent favored county governments being able to share in the sales tax receipts and 35 percent favored an increase in portions received by cities. Voters throughout the area varied with district-wide respondants by only one to three percent on most questions involving sales tax issues. However, Red River County residents indicated far greater support for counties receiving a portion of sales tax revenue, with 68 percent answering in the affirmative.

Only 35 percent of those in the district responding indicated they would favor an increase in the state gasoline tax, while 59 percent indicated opposition. Forty-five percent preferred a decrease in highway construction rather than an increase, but 40 percent answered negatively to cutting highway construction. Hugonearly $7 million," Hull said. "'The 5- mill levies mean nearly $35,000 and the 10-mill levy means $70,000." In Fort Towson, James Horton was elected to Office 1 on the district school board with 167 votes, defeating C. E.

Doerr, with 46 votes, and Thomas R. Wall, with 26 votes. Fort Towson district voters approved the emergency levy 174-60, the building levy 155-67 and the local er- Continued From Teacher- er- especially those from Paris, to make them aware of teacher needs. "There's no doubt about it," she said. "Our teacher salary is the number one issue in the state of Texas, not collective MELBA BUNCH, president of the Paris TSTA, said she thought the 63 percent in favor of increased state funding for teacher salaries showed a concern by the public about teacher.

pay scales. She said she would like the percentage to be even higher, however. Concerning collective bargaining, she said that most school teachers are in favor of the idea. "But the public is afraid of it, because they normally connect collective bargaining with strikes. And that is not the purpose of TSTA's collective bargaining program," she said.

Mrs. Bunch shared Mrs. Woodby's disappointment that the two issues were $0 closely related in the questionnaire. "We feel our salary is important enough that it should stand as one aspect of a survey or poll," she said. ROBERT HIGH.

state vice president of the Classroom Teachers Association, said it is "very evident that the majority of people responding to the poll see a need for an increase in teacher salaries." But citing figures that showed only 31 percent favored TSTA's 33 percent raise and only 39 percent favored the 1981 -Continued From Again, local respondants fell into almost. the same percentage groups as those district wide when questioned concerning state gasoline tax monies. Delta Countians, however, favored cutting construction by a 53 percent to 32 percent margin. Those area residents answering the questionnaire did differ with district-wide results concerning Gov. Clements' proposed constitutiona! changes giving initiative and referendum to voters of the state.

While district-wide results showed 51 percent of respondants answering in the affirmative, Lamar Countians answered affirmatively 46 percent of the time. Only 38 percent of those in Delta and 37 percent of those in Red River County indicated a preference for Clements' proposals. However, Fannin County respondants matched the district- -wide results. Those responding to the survey were resoundingly opposed to any increase in interest ceilings i in Texas, and even fewer favored abolishing those ceilings. Local breakdowns were similar to the 65 percent district-wide opposing hikes and 64 percent opposed to abolishing rate ceilings.

While a majority of those swering favored increased state funding for teachers' salaries, 62 percent to 27 percent; only 29 percent favored the Texas State Teachers Association recommendation of 33 percent in raises over a two-year period. -Continued From support levy 161-68. Soper School District voters elected John P. McNutt to Office 4 on the district school board with 94 votes to opponent Bill Harless' 74 votes. Soper voters approved the emergency levy 134-30, the building levy 132-31 and the local support levy 126-33.

In Swink, voters supported the emergency levy 22-3, the building levy 23-2 and the local support levy governor's 22 percent proposal, High added that, "'The same people (who favor a pay disagree on the amount of the increase." High said that since either proposed raise will be spread over two years, the governor's raise, for example, actually amounts to only 11 percent per year. He added that seven percent of that figure is the step and increment amount for added experience. In reality, he said, the raise only amounts to an eight percent increase over a two-year period. "Thirty-three percent to a lot of people is frightening," he said. "But in reality what the 33 percent will amount to is about 18 percent, which is the inflation rate High said that most people are afraid of collective bargaining because of the strike clause in the TSTA bill.

"They simply do not feel that teachers should have the right to strike," he said. Nor does he think the Legislature will pass the proposal. But he does feel collective bargaining is inevitable, citing as one factor the number of people who become politically active after moving into Texas from areas where collective bargaining is a way of life. fligh said that Texas is one of only two states where teachers do not have the right to bargain collectively with local school boards for those things which would better the educational system. "And right now, one of those things is salaries," he said.

In addition, only 43 percent, as opposed to 42 percent in teacher pay hikes. Page An overwhelming 60 percent of responses from the district opposed granting public school teachers collective bargaining rights. Local responses were almost identical. Although 51 percent of those individuals within the district indicated they favored an increase in tuition at state colleges and universities, only 35 percent favored the Higher Education Finance Committee's recommendation of an increase to $8 per semester hour. Local respondants varied from district-wide figures.

Only 46 percent of in Lamar County, 43 percent of those in Delta and Red River counties and 47 percent of those in Fannin County indicated a desire to hike tuition. Local voters responding to the survey were also slightly less supportive of allowing the substitution of generic, showed. drugs than district-wide Seventy-eight percent of those district responses showed a desire to amend state law to allow such a practice. Howard indicated that the large number of returned questionnaires has made it impossible for him to respond to questions and comments made by voters as quickly as he would have liked. However, the senator said he was "reading every comment and I intend to answer any 21-4.

Goodland School District voters approved the emergency levy, the building levy and the local support levy each by a margin of 9-0. Boswell School District voters approved all three tax levies on their ballot by a margin of 41-0. In Grant, voters supported the emergency levy by 36-2, the building levy 37-1 and the local support levy 36-2. TERRY TAYLOR, vice chairman of the Paris Educators Political Action Committee, said it was difficult to comment on the figures because "the question's worded "Nobody is going to be in favor of giving someone a 22 percent raise or a 33 percent 'he said. "That sounds like an awful Taylor also stressed that the increment money makes the figures sound more impressive than is actually the case.

"It's a misleading question," he said, citing as evidence that the "encouraging" 63 percent favoring pay raises was cut in half when the percentage of increase was given. "If he (Howard) had said what the actual raise was, more people would have said yes," Taylor said, "because 6.8 percent (estimated actual raise) is really not that doesn't keep you up with inflation." Taylor said he believes the low 25. percent figure favoring collective bargaining is "pretty accurate for Lamar But, he said, the figure should rise as more people understand the process, Only a majority vote of organization members could call a strike if collective bargaining were passed, he said, and this would occur only after every method of negotiation had been exhausted. "It doesn't mean we're going to strike Taylor said. "That's the last thing we want."
