Often it is cheaper to send goods from out of state to Texas that it is to ship them between two points within the state, says the study by Bernard Weinstein and Harold Gross, direc tor and assistant director of the Cen ter for Enterprising at SMU’s Cox School of Business. The economists concluded that Texas is becoming an increasingly unattractive location for both large and small businesses that depend on trucking for distribution. “Any factor that inflates the cost of doing business in Texas relative to competing jurisdictions places our economy at risk,” they wrote. The study labels as “outmoded” state trucking regulations dating back to the 1930s that originally were intended to ensure trucking service to rural communities, but have remained unchanged despite demographic changes. The regulations limit competition and set hauling rates on certain routes that are more expensive than those charged in other states, according to the study. The trucking lobby, headed by the Texas Motor Transport Associa tion, maintains that the intrastate regulations are necessary for small companies that make up a major part of the state’s economy, because without them the large companies would control destinations and rates. Inmates hope juvenile cases get 2nd look HUNTSVILLE (AP) — Some in mates who landed on death row for crimes committed as teen-agers are hopeful the U.S. Supreme Court will spare them execution. The high court recently decided to hear arguments in an Oklahoma case in which a condemned man contends he should not be executed because he was under 18 when he committed his crime. “I feel it’s great,” said Robert Car ter, who was 17 when he shot and killed gasoline station clerk Sylvia Reyes during a June 1981 robbery in Houston. “It’s giving us a chance.” Gary Graham also was 17 when Bobby Grant Lambert, 53, was robbed and shot to death in a Hous ton parking lot in 1981. Graham said he hopes the Supreme Court justices “will show enough compassion” to rule in favor of youthful offenders. On the other hand, Curtis Paul Harris, who was convicted of a fatal beating and robbery in Brazos County during 1978, scoffed at the Supreme Court’s decision. “I don’t think they’ll rule in our favor anyway,” said Harris, who has been tried and convicted twice.
