Editorial on Tunney Hayakawa race in California Senate finale
The piece previews John Tunney's looming postprimary headache as he faces S. J. Hayakawa in the California Senate final. It notes Hayakawa's unconventional rise from campus confrontations to politics, contrasts their records, and argues voters may favor Hayakawa's lack of political experience over Tunney's Washington ties and Kennedy connections. The editorial suggests Californians will back the steadfast, plainspoken challenger over established incumbents.

Judges to Blame for Court Burden
Chief Justice Warren Burger notes that average annual docket sizes in U S district courts rose 45 percent over five years and appellate judges now handle twice as many cases as in 1968. He warns of federal overreach into state and local matters and cites Jefferson on tenure and removal. Congress has failed to check the trend.

California utility tax reform idea gains cautious interest
California utility inspector Robert Batinovich argues the federal tax system breeds higher rates by letting utilities claim depreciation and pay little income tax. He proposes a tax plan that taxes profits and funnels credits to low income users, reducing rate hikes and encouraging conservation. A Field Research poll shows Californians favor higher use taxes for conservation over bans on energy use. Batinovich cautions the idea won’t pass instantly but says lawmakers show interest.

Readers contest sensationalism in kidney and sewer debates
A letter from Tom Weiss, longtime kidney patient advocate, rebuts a recent article on artificial kidneys and a proposed Super Sewer plan. He argues dialysis patients lead full lives, urges complete public facts before funding decisions, and highlights concerns about costs, taxation, and long term solutions including reverse osmosis and water recycling.
Editor Responds to Mr Weiss on Super Sewer Costs
Response to a reader letter raises concerns about open ended Super Sewer expenses for taxpayers. Questions focus on total projected cost, inflation, financing, maintenance, hookup charges, and potential federal requirements that could delay completion. The writer warns against hidden costs and future reserve needs under the Clean Water Act.
