AUSTIN, TEXAS — Talk of
ending the special session of
the Legislature on Its opening
day turned out to be just talk.
When the lawmakers got to
town at Oov. Price Daniel’s
call, little support could be mus-
tered by Sen. George Parkhouse
of Dallas and Rep. Charles Ball-
man of Borger, for Immediate
adjournment.
SO, the show Is on—and al-
ready moving at a fast pace.
Governor Daniel Immediately
laid out his proposals for solv-
ing some long-standing prob-
lems. Included were the fol-
lowing:
BANK ESCHEAT—
Here a compromise with
bankers was sought, under

which banks would advertise
locally each year for the own-
ers of accounts which had as
much as $35 In them and which
had been Inactive for seven
years. Balances under $25 would
be sent to the State Treasury
which would seek the owners,
and If they appear, pay them
from a $100,000 revolving fund
which would be kept In the
Treasury for that purpose. Rep.
Charles E. Hughes of Sherman,
who has worked for 10 years to
get laws to enforce the escheat
laws, felt that ground had
finally been found on which the
state and banks could agree.
RURAL ROADS—
Governor Daniel’s veto last
summer of the $15,000,000 ap-
propriation for farm-to-market
road construction during the
year starting next Sept. 1 was
designed to bring another long
discussion to a head. It did.
Where $80,000,000 was avail-
able In 1081 ($50,000,000 In state
taxes and $10,000,000 In federal
aid) for construction and Im-
provement of rural roads, Dan-
iel proposed only about $42,500,-
000 be used next year. The oth-
er $17,500,000 would be used to
maintain the rural roads.
Daniel got agreement from
the Texas County Judges and
Commissioners Association and
from the Texas Farm Bureau.
But some rural legislators think
this Is too big a cut all at once,
and are talking about the Dan-
iel proposal as the "minimum."
INTEREST RATES—
Daniel made no specific rec-
ommendations to the lawmak-
ers on Interest rates and loan
regulation, except to say that
the rates proposed by the Tex-
as Legislative Council were too
high.
Here is tremendous difference
of opinion among legislators,
over two Issues.
First question Is—“what Is a
small loan?”
Some think Interest ceilings
should be held to 10 per cent on
all loans over $500 while oth-
ers think higher rates should be
allowed up to $3,000, to Include
the auto loan category.
Latest proposal would regu-
late rates up to $1,500 or $1,000,
thus hold Interest to a 10 per
cent maximum on all loans over
that amount.
This issue will be hard fought
and many legislators do not ex-

pect it to be settled when the

TOURIST ADVERTISING
Daniel urged a $300,000 ap-
propriation for advertising Tex-
as to tourists. Proposal la back-
ed by numerous organisations
who feel that the Investment
will pay big dividends to the
state, especially since the state
now has a sales tax.
JUVENILE PAROLE—
Last year the start was made
on a system of state-paid pa-
role officers to supervise boys
and girls released from the
juvenile schools. But money was
provided to pay only six men,
including a state director.
Daniel asked for 17 more pa-
role officers. Most legislators
agreed on the need, but worried
about where to get the money.
One thing Is certain — this
Legislature won’t raise taxes
again—not thla year.
It la an unusual Legislature in
another respect. It has two Re-
publican members.
Kenneth Kohler of Amarillo
took office first, so he is being
called the "minority leader" of
the House. His OOP colleague
from Texas City, George Kork-
mas, makes it the largest Re-
publican membership In the
Legislature since back In the
1870s, when there were many
Republicans in office In Texas,
Including a governor.
CANDIDATES ARE
BECOMING ACTIVE
Politics Is perkin’ up! Former
House Speaker Waggoner Carr
Is at the rail and ready to run
for Attorney General. Actually
the. Lubbock attorney, a Demo-
crat, has been campaigning for
the office for several months.
Austin Attorney Walter Koch
is an announced candidate for
Associate Justice of the Court
of Civil Appeals, Third Judicial
District.
Judge William A. Morrison of
Cameron has announced for re-
election to the Court of Crimin-
al Appeals, on which he has
served for 11 years. District
Jbdge Otis Dunagan of Tyler
has announced against him.
RECIPROCAL PRIVILEGES
Texas Game & Fish Commis-
sion has decided to revive ef-
forts to get reciprocal fishing
privileges on the border rivers
and lakes.
Neither the Texans on Lake
Texhoma nor the Louislanans
on Lake Caddo can tell where
the state line Is. Sometimes
they get fined by the other
state’s game wardens for not
having a fishing license.
Time and again negotiations
have begun, only to have the
idea shelved when officers were
changed and the new ones
didn’t pick up the ball.
This time. Chairman Frank
Wood of Wichita Falls will go
to Oklahoma to start talks
there. Henry LeBlanc, president
of the Sportsmen’s Clubs of
Texas, will try to get things
rolling In his position as South-
western director of the Nation-
al Wildlife Federation.

AIRED UP BREAD—
Agriculture C o m m 1 s a 1 oner
John White sent word to all
bakeries that the “ballooned
loaf" of bread la Illegal under
the state law.
White said that this new
"over-slaed” loaf has appeared
in several parts of the state.
It actually weighs a pound.
But U filled with air it bakes
Into a loaf the same size as the
pound and a half loaf. Weight
is printed in small type, so
shoppers find It hard to tell the
difference
The state’s grocery policeman
said if bakers don’t cooperate
by stopping the practice he’ll
stop them.
BACK TO THE BLACK—
State revenues will begin to
pull into balance thla month,
as the first foil quarter of re-
turns on the new sales tax
reach Comptroller Robert 8.
Calvert.
Since the new law took effect,
only $27,000,800 has come In,
and It just about held things
even on the state deficit of $75,-
000,000 or so.
Quarterly payments by stores,
on sales for the last three
months of 1981, are due Jan. 31.
They should total about $45,'
000,008, Mas the $llj000j>00 mer-
chants paid In advance In No-
vember aad thus got a 3 per
cent discount.
But It will be summer of 1082
before the new sales taa wipes
out the deficit, if all goee as
predicted
One effect of the sales tax
has been to get stores located
so they will pay the "store tax”
which has been In effect many
years.
A year ago at this time, only
81,109 stores had paid this tax.
