AUSTIN — The Texas
Senate resumed its long-
delayed trial of the O. P.
Carrillo impeachment case
after taking steps to shor-
ten the proceedings.
in spite of warnings by
their counsel, Leon
Jaworski, senators voted to
accept the entire transcript
of a Judicial Qualifications
Commission removal hear-
ing on Carrillo for use in
the trial.
Attorneys estimated use
of the JQC testimony and
exhibits may shorten the
Senate proceeding from the
expected six weeks or more
to three.
Meanwhile,'-the Judicial
Qualifications Commission
continued to move forward
on its own course toward
ousting the 229th district
judge from office.
Carrillo’s attorney, Ar-
thur Mitchell of Austin,
made clear he will try to
show the impeachment ef-
fort was launched as the re-
sult of a political break be-
tween the Carrillo and
George Parr factions in
stormy Duval County last
year.
Carrillo has been sus-
pended from his court since
last August when the
House of Representatives
voted articles of impeach-
ment, but he continues to
draw full pay.
Bentsen Starts
U. S. Sen. Lloyd Bentseq
began his re-election cam-
paign with a two-day barn-
storming tour which
ranged from Houston to the
Panhandle and from
Dallas/Fort Worth to San
Antonio.
Bentsen also campaigned
in Austin, Lubbock,
Amarillo,' Abilene and
Laredo.
Senate Inquiry
A new task force is inves-
tigating tcvngieu state Se-
nate financial affairs over a
five-year period.
The mauiry pnrt of tho
independent investigation
set in motion by Atty. Gen.
John Hill after indictment
of Senate Secretary Charles
Schnabel on charges of
theft and misconduct.
Senators voted last week
to keep Schnabel, who has
been their chief adminis-
trative officer for 20 years,
on the job pending trial on
the charges.
Lease Sales Set
The School Land Board
has scheduled oil, gas and
sulphur lease sales Feb-
ruary 3, June 1 and October
5 to encourage domestic ex-
ploration and development.
Total bonuses received
from three oil and gas lease
sales last year came to
more than $11.8 million.
Primary areas of interest
in the 1976 sales are the
lower Laguna Madre and
the central coastal region
near Matagorda Island.
The latter has been re-
stricted to development be-
cause of activities on the
now-abandoned U. S. Air
Force Base and bombing
range.
Hearings Begin
x The Railroad Commis-
sion will start a series of
hearings February 3 in Au-
stin and Dallas which could
have significant impact on
shippers of packages weigh-
ing from 100 to 350 pounds.
Nine carriers seek to
show present service is in-
adequate. More than two
dozen carriers already
operating protest the appli-
cations.
Courts Speak
The Texas Supreme
Court refused to grant Tex-
aco Inc.’s application for
writ of error in a case that
could have cost the state
$30.8 million in franchise
tax revenues. The decision
again upheld constitution-
ality of the state’s method
of collecting franchise taxes
from multi-national corpo-
rations.
In another case, the high
court affirmed a $134,156
judgement against Texaco,
favoring a Sweetwater man
hurt when oilfield equip-
meni fell on him in a
warehouse.
Court of Criminal Appe-
als reversed a Hillsboro
murder case because a di-
vorce petition filed by the
slain woman was read-to
the jury by a prosecutor.
AG Opinions
Salaries of state emp-
loyees and officers may not
be supplemented unless the
source of the supplement is
reported to the Secretary of
State, Attorney General
Hill held.
Comptroller Bob Bullock
said, on the basis of the new
opinion, he will issue no
state warrant to personnel
receiving supplements from
unidentified sources.
In other recent opinions,
Hill concluded:
Examinations given by
the Merit System Council
to prospective employees
are confidential by law and
excepted from the Open Re-
cords Act.

Gov. Dolph Briscoe reap-
pointed William B. Blake-
more II of Midland to the
Public Safety Commission
for a six-year term.
Ray D. Payne will head
the new Texas Railroad
Commission surface min-
ing and reclamation divi-

ton was appointed chair-

ment rate dropped near the
end of the year to six per

Letter

Dear Editor:

SYOUR LIFE
INSURANCE
Prepared by the American
S o c i e t y of Chartered Life
Unde rwriters, the national
society of life insurance
professionals who have
earned the C L U designation
by meeting high educational,
ei hi cal and experience
requirements.___
Q. A few years ago my friend
and I formed a small
publishing company — just a
few titles a year. We plan to
expand this year and when we
applied for a loan, one of the
questions on the application
dealt with whether we had
some form of business life
insurance. Could you explain
the reason for this?
A. Certainly. Business life
insurance is life insurance used
to protect a business, or the
family of a businessman from the
financial loss often resulting
from the death of someone
associated with the business. It is
written for numerous purposes,
chief among which are:
*Keyman Protection — to
reimburse or provide
replacement in the event of the
death of a key employee.
^Partnership Insurance — to
_ retire a partner’s interest at
death.
* Proprietorship Insurance —
to provide for the maintenance of
a business upon the death of a
sole proprietor.
^Insurance to aid a firm’s
Credit Status — covering the
owner or keyman during the
period of a loan.

GALVESTON — Ex-Gov. Seymour is to
preside at the annual convention of the
American Dairymen’s Association in New
York. Governor Seymour knows how to
milk a cow dry.
DALLAS COUNTY — At Dallas, the papers
quote wheat at 90 cents to $1; oats at 40
cents on wagons, 50 cents sacked on cars;
corn 55 to 58 cents, mostly Kansas in car
lots.
HOUSTON — A squabble between old and
new city offices remained unchanged today.
The old officers are unwilling to give up
their positions; consequently cases are
being heard in Recorders Court separately
and independently before both judges.
SAN ANTONIO — Bold depredations by the
Indians who stole nearly 100 head of horses
from Captain Adams’ rancho on the Leon
have been reported. A party is pursuing the
Indians, who had a two hour head start.
ANDERSON COUNTY — Twelve hundred
dollars have been subscribed towards
building an Episcopal Church at Palestine.
GALVESTON — ‘The Angel of Midnight’
performed last night in the Tremont Opera
House “...is one of the most nonsensical of
all the mass of melodramatic twaddle with
which the American stage was flooded just
previous to the introduction of the
elawhanimer series of modern dramas. Not
only is the plot itself void of sense or
reason, but the mawky sentimentalism of
the principals disgusts one completely with
the whole play.”
DENISON — Work on the frontier telegraph
line from Fort Concho to Fort Stockton
progressing from both ends as rapidly as
weather will permit; and also on the line
from Fort McKavatt to San Antonio.
FORT WORTH — For Sale: 80 acres of
timber, about five miles from here. Price is
$6 per acre.

AURORA — Merchants have handled up-
wards of 300 bales of cotton this winter and
will probably double that amount as about
half the cotton raised here is yet to be
ginned. This amount, plus the immense
quantities taken to Dallas by producers
from this section show that Wise and the
northern part of Tarrant counties is the
cotton producing part of Texas.
TRAVIS COUNTY — No winter yet. Green
peas and other vegetables abound.
Advertised in the Galveston News —Joseph
Labadie Hardware Co. Has for sale cheap:
Pierced and plain soup ladles, milk skim-
mers, cups, scoops, cake turners, ash
shovels, gravey strainers (only 15 cents
each), splendid wash pans (only $1); milk,

sad irons, and carvers, kitchen, skimming,
butcher, table and pocket knives.
