Provide that the Legisla- ture shall provide for local retirement systems created by any city or county for its officers and employees and shall further provide for a state-wide system of benefits for officers and employees of counties or other political subdivsions of the State which may voluntarily participate, and to further provide that a state-wide system of bene- fits shall be provided for officers and employees of cities which may voluntar- ily participate. The wording of the pro- posed amendment as it will appear on the ballot is as follows: “The constitutional amendment revising and consolidating provisions relating to state and local retirement systems and programs and providing for a maximum state con- tribution to state systems of 10 percent of the ag- gregate compensation paid to individuals.” NUMBER TWO ON THE BALLOT (H.J.R. No. 6) Amending Article III, Section 24 of the Texas Constitution to: Provide an increase in salary for members of the Legislature from $400 per month to $600 per month. Provide an increase in the per diem rate for mem- bers of the Legislature from $12 to $30 for each day during each Regular and Special Session of the Legislature. Provide an increase in the transportation allow- ance for members from $.10 per mile to the rate pre- scribed by law for em- ployees of the State of Texas. The wording of the pro- posed amendment as it will appear on the ballot is as follows: “The constitutional amendment setting the salaries of members of the legislature at $600 per month and setting a per diem of $30 per day during legislative sessions and a mileage allowance at the same rate provided by law for state em- ployees.” put out a double (Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road) without fear of spread- ing himself too thin can do without this waste of vinyl! I’ll tell you why — this is Elton’s last album on MCA, and he’s mov- ing to his own label, so he sloughed a “greatest hits” album off onto MCA, which in turn is sloughing it off onto the public. Its primary ex- cuse for existing is to fulfill a con- tract requirement. So, aside from that, what else is wrong with “Elton John’s Greatest Hits”? It’s not representative, that’s what. Such albums should not be a mere collection of top-selling sing- les; rather, they should try to follow the musical development and growth of an artist. This was the concept behind “Winwood”, a dou- ble which chronicled Stevie I Winwood’s progress from Spencer j Davis Group to Blind Faith, and his I accomplishments as a musical pro- digy. Even “The Worst of Jefferson Airplane” did this in a rudimentary fashion. But Gus Dudgeon, Elton’s pro- ducer, chose to ignore two consecu- tively released albums, “Tumb- leweed Connection and “Madman Across the Water”, which represent in their combined form a considera- ble time span left unaccounted for. After admitting the fact that “Tumbleweed Connection” is my favorite Elton John album, I still can’t see why they left out numbers of the calibre of “Burn Down the Mission” or “Levon”. But, then again, I always maintained that his best stuff was from the slower reper- toire. So you could guess pretty eas- ily that I would can songs of the- “Honky Cat” genre. Enough of this opinionated diat- ribe. The meat of the matter is, we all know that Elton John is a fine musician who plays some great music, but who needs two record- ings of some cuts to the exclusion of other?
