Mattox enters the race
Gubernatorial candidate supportive of state lottery
DALLAS (AP) — A state lottery,
not an income tax, will solve Texas’
budget problems. Attorney General
Jim Mattox said Tuesday as he de
clared his intent to prove the theory
from behind the governor’s desk.
While announcing his bid for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomi
nation, Mattox told supporters that a
lottery, although “a political risk,”
was the way to fund better schools
and fight drugs and crime.
“I don’t agree with the Austin es
tablishment that thinks ‘new reve
nue’ means new taxes,” Mattox told
supporters outside Woodrow Wilson
High School, his alma mater.
“A lottery will generate hundreds
of millions of dollars in new revenue
without raising taxes by a single
penny,” he said.
The Legislature this spring re
jected a proposal for a lottery. Mat
tox said he will seek a referendum
on the issue.
“As a Southern Baptist, I know
the concerns that this particular is
sue causes for my fellow church
members,” Mattox said. But, he
added, “If you give Gov. Jim Mattox
a lottery, I can guarantee you better
schools and real progress in the fight
Lottery finds new support due to education woes
AUSTIN (AP) — A state lottery, such as that pro
posed Tuesday by Democratic gubernatorial candidate
Jim Mattox, might find new support in a Legislature
suddenly needing new funds for education.
Sen. Hector Uribe, D-Brownsville, said he will ask
Gov. Bill Clements to open the Nov. 14 special session
agenda to consideration of a lottery.
“It’s important to get this issue to the Legislature
again, because legislators will have to decide on either
an income tax or a lottery,” Uribe said, adding that he
wouldn’t oppose dedicating lottery proceeds to educa
tion.
The most recent estimates said a state-run lottery
In officially launching his candidacy Tuesday,!
tox said he would like the Legislature to passarefei
dum for a state-run lottery.
against drugs and crime.”
The two-term attorney general
fo
also said he would push for higher
teacher salaries.
“We will fight to attract and keep
our best minds in the classroom,” he
said.
Mattox also said he wants tougher
drug sentences, including the death
penalty for those “whose crime is so
heinous that it crosses the bounds of
civilized behavior.”
More prison beds, police, pros
ecutors and judges also are needed
to combat crime, he said.
“I’m tired of a system that lets the
criminals out of jail before their vic
tims get out of the hospital,” he said.
“I want the pushers to meet ‘The
Slammer.’ And as governor, I’m
going to see to it that they do.”
Mattox has raised some $4 million
during more than a year of prep;
tions for the race, which he i

VICTORIA (AP) — Four men believed to be
illegal aliens were found dead Tuesday in a truck
trailer carried on a railroad flatcar, and authori
ties were trying to determine if a toxic pesticide
used on the cargo contributed to their deaths.
Anne Cuddeback, an investigator with the
Texas Department of Health’s hazard commu
nication branch in Austin, said the fumigant used
in the trailer could be fatal if inhaled or ingested.
and vomiting, Victoria police Lt. Richard Jones
said.
“It’s quite possible there was enough of the fu
migant around to kill the guys,” Cuddeback said.
Three emergency medical service workers and
seven police officers at the scene where the bod
ies were discovered were taken to a Victoria hos
pital. Some of the officers complained of nausea
The bodies of the four victims were found by a
Southern Pacific car inspector at about 8:15 a.m.
after a railroad worker noticed the door was
open on the truck trailer.
The victims appeared to be in their 20s,Jones
said. Three of the four had papers, although po
lice hadn’t verified the documents Tuesday. One
had a Mexican passport, one had documents
from Honduras, and a third had papers that had
been stamped in El Salvador but indicated he was
from Venezuela, Jones said. He said the fourth
man did not carry any identification.
A Border Patrol agent said the patrol is work
ing through the Mexican consul to identify tkI
men.
The four apparently died of asphyxiationd( I
spite punching a small hole in the trailer, prob I
bly for ventilation, Victoria police Lt. Jack WlJ
liarns said.
“They put a hole in the roof about the sizeohl
half dollar,” Williams said. “Apparently oneo
them had a buckle knife he used to poked)
hole.”
The trailer was half filled with boxes of tortill
or corn flour called masa. Two warning stickecI
were taped on the trailer doors. The sigiil
showed skulls and said in English and Spanistj
“Danger. This trailer is being fumigated.’’
