HIGHLIGHTS AND SIDELIGHTS
FROM YOUR STATE CAPITAL
By VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Association
Biggest organized plan in
Texas' history — to fight crime
—is in the approval stage, with
early approval anticipated.
The plan was submitted last
month to the U.S. Department
of Justice by Governor Preston
Smith’s Criminal Justice Coun-
cil.
With approval will go $1.1
million in action grants to state
and local units of government
for brand new approaches to the
war on crime.
An initial planning grant of
$830,350 started the action, and
$235,000 more was freed for the
purchase of riot control equip-
ment. If this program is suc-
cessful and continued, $11 mil-
lion more in federal aid will go
to Texas in federal fiscal, year
1970.
Plans of cities and regions
were cleared through the Crim-
inal Justice Office for inclusion
in a statewide approach. Ex-
perts in crime prevention, ap-
prehension, trials, sentencing*
corrections, pardons and paroles
participated in the drafting of
the overall program.
Work proceeds under federal
afe Streets acts of 1968.
Liquor Store Changes
Ordered
Under a new law, all drug
stores and discount houses which
sell liquor must physically seal
off the departments and pro-
vide access only through sep-
arate entrance from streets.
Liquor Control Board so ad-
vised store permit holders in a
new bulletin. About 300 of the
state's 3.000 package store per-
mittees will have to do complete
remodeling jobs or. their stores
by Sept. 1 to comply, LCB es-
timates.
A “sleeper” provision appear-
ed in the liquor law revision
bill. Former Gov. John Con-
nally vetoed a similar provision
in '67, Before 1945, liquor could
be sold only in package stores.
Legislature in 1959 authorized
discount and drug stores to set
ent savings and loan association
may acquire outstanding shares
of permanent reserve fund
stock of Fort Worth Savings
and Loan Association.
—State Board of Education
may not require textbook au-
thors to sign a loyalty oath as a
prerequisite to consideration of
a textbook for state-supported
echools.
—A justice of the peace must
keep a docket reflecting all
criminal matters that come in
his attention in both magisteri-
al and judicial eluties.
Austin — Dusty old tax bills
are being pulled out for discus-
sion now that Gov. Preston
Smith has vetoed the one-year
spending bill and called the
Legislature back into special
session.
Governor Smith made it clear
that he expects the special ses-
sion to adopt spending proposals
fpr a full twb years starting
Sfept. 1, and to levy new taxes
to finance whatever is spent.
Tax bills must originate in the
House and Speaker Gus Mutsch-
er says he believes the money
can be found without raising
the state sales tax. But, first he
wants to hear what the Govern-
or has to propose as a source
for the money.
Smith has indicated lliat he
will recommend a program sub-
stantially different from what
he suggested last winter. But he
said he will not propose a state
income tax.
So far, legislative leaders have
not shown any intention of pas-
sing another one-year spending
bill and then going home with-
out levying new taxes, Smith s
contention that the tax bill will
be smaller if it is passed now
instead of waiting until 1970,
apparently won some statewide
support.
Smith has une ace up his
sleeve.
He vetoed a big stack of Sen-
ate bills because they were not
properly passed and sent to him
cukcuuul anu uiub ^ adjournment of the legisla-
nside part of the floor space for tive session. He said that he will
liquor sales. Legislature this aj|0W special session to con-
year deleted that authorization, ^e-passage of those bills,
LCB will spell out new require- ftfter the legislature passes the
ments in an additional directive jw0_year appropriation bill.
by July 15. - • ---------- 00
Attornev General Rules
.. special session
the bills he vetoed may be anx
ious to help put over his pro-
gram in order to try to pass
their bills again.
Among the vetoed bills, and
one of wide interest, is that by
Sen. Murray Watson of Mart
creating 27 new district courts.
Here is what Governor Smith
will ask the legislature to do:
—Enact a budget in the neigh-
borhood of $5.6 billion for the
1970-71 fiscal period.
Levy a balancing tax bill,
which he estimates at around
$300 million or slightly less.
_If there is time in a 30-day
special session, then take up the
bills he vetoed because they
were not signed in the presence
of the legislators.
Welfare Changes Noted
Major changes are going into
effect in state welfare policies
and organizational structure.
Welfare Commissioner Burton
G. Hackney announced elimi-
nation of the one-year resi-
dency requirement for all aid
categories. This is in keeping
with a recent U.S. Supreme
Court decision and federal rules,
Hackney predicted the change
will not notieably increase wel-
fare rolls in Texas, but the na-
tionwide increase in assistance
costs is estimated at nearly $300
million a year.
Department of Public Welfare
also realigned its statewide or-
ganization on the basis of re-
gions, eifectlvc July 1. Depart-
ment will merge Child Welfare
services with the Aid to Families
With Dependent Children pro-
gram under a single adminis-
trative head along regional
lines.
Vets’ Land Rale Up
Interest rates arc going up
to eight per cent for non-veter-
ans who take over contracts to
buy land under the Texas Vet-
erans Land Program, Boat'd or-
dered the increase from six and
a half per cent.
Veterans are not affected by
the new rate. Their new loan
contracts bear five and one-half
per cent interest. Non-veterans
enter the picture when veterans
sell their land or transfer the
I contract, which they can do aft-
i r three years.
Land Commissioner Jerry
I Sadler sees the money market
as a “serious threat” to the en-
tire land program unless the
constitutional amendment is
adopted, Aug. 5, to remove the
current four and a half percent
ceiling on interest rates on
bonds sold for the veterans land
fund. Bonds cannot be .sold in
the future unless the rate is
raised, Sadler said.
Courts Speak
A U.S. Supreme Court decision
in a recent Louisiana Case in-
validated a Texas law which re-
stricts voting in revenue bond
elections to property owners,
says Secretary oi State Martin
Dies. He spoke as chief election
officer of the state, responsible
for maintaining uniformity in
application and interpretation
of Texas election laws.
High court found constitution-
al a law which prohibits synthe-
tic milk including both vege-
table oil and dry milk solids.
The decision upheld the Court
of Civil Appeals.
, . only the Governor can select
Attorney General Rules ^e subjects to be considered in
A defendant summoned before. ^ ial session. So authors of
a grand jury must be advised offl
his constitutional right to legal
counsel, says Atty. Gen. Craw-j
ford C. Mjarttn. His opinion
spe'led out other guidelines for
processing and disposing of fel-
ony complaints.
In other opinions, Martin
concluded that:
—All money due for cigarette
tax stamps r.iust be considered
as revenue available during the
fiscal year. Opinion cleared up
the status of some $6 million in
late August stamp payments.
