Today I will discuss Propoottions
11 and 12.
Proposition ll: The Texas
Constitution guarantees anyone
accused of a crime the right to know
the nature and cause of the
accusation and to have a copy of the
accusations. It also states that no
one can be tried for a felony offense
unless indicted by a grand Jury. If
this proposal is passed, the
legislature would be allowed to set
practices and procedures
concerning the contents,
amendments, requirements, etc., of
the documents, i. a., indictments and
informations, charging a person
with an offense.
Supporters say the Legislature

would have the same power to
answer state-law questions certified
by federal courts as they do to rule
on questions which coma up on
appeal from lower state courts.
Supporters say this will ensure
that Texas controls the development
of its own law, instead of letting
federal courts deckle what Texas
law should be. It would help
litigants in the cases that givo rise to
certified questions since a federal
court’s Interpretation of Texas law
is binding even If the state’s highest
oay uic lic^uuiiuic
; should set the standards governing
t the process of charging people with
crimes. They feel Proposition 11
;. would still protect the defendants
;. but could prevent the reversing of
convictions based on technicalities
i that no prosecutor or grand Jury
• could anticipate. Supporters agree
■ that defendants deserve notice of the
.• charges against them, but feel it Is
• not necessary for all details to be
r included in the indictment itself.
£ They say if there is a defect in the
fv indictment, the defense should
Because of a reduction in State
funding, it is necessary to reduce
payment fees to eligible
veterinarians for brucellosis
vaccinations, Dr. John W.
Holcombe, Executive Director,
Texas Animal Health Commission,
Austin, said.
The present fee basis structure
will continue through October 31,
and the new schedule will take effect
November 1.
Veterinarians who participate in
the Texas brucellosis program fee
basis payment plan must attend a
training school before being eligible
to receive State money for
performing brucellosis vaccinations
for their clients.
The current rates are: |18 for the
first calf; $2 for calves 2 through 10;
12 for calves 11 through 50; |1.75 for
calves 51 and over.
The new rates are: $12A0 for the
first calf; $2.50 for calves 2 through
10; $1JS for calves 11 and up; calves
vaccinated at a fixed base facility
H per head. A fixed base faculty is
defined as the facilities of a dealer
and/or buyer registered with the
U.S. Department of Agricultures’
Packers and Stockyards
Administration.
It is anticipated that the State’s
payment under the new schedule in
some instances, may not be
adequate compensation to the
veterinarian for the performance of
this service. In recognition of this,
the Texas Animal Health
Commission removes any
restriction which presently exists
relating to the veterinarians’
authority to charge a fee in addition
to that provided by the State for
brucdloeis vaccination. Beginning
November 1, veterinarians may, if
they deem it necessary, charge their
clients an additional fee. Any such
additional charge will be strictly an
agreement between the veterinarian
and his or her clients.
Texas law differently. They do not
feel answering any questions
certified by federal courts would
over burden the state courts because
the state courts could choose not to
answer any question they felt was
not determinative of the outcome hi
the case or for which there is no
clear precedent.
Opponents feel this would increase
the work load of the two highest
state appellate courts which are
already overburdened. They feel
Texas courts should not Issue
advisory opinions for federal Judges.
There are no restrictions an
answering certified questions only to
cases where the state court’s answer
will deckle the outcome. Opponents
say while It Is too bad federal Judges
may sometimes anticipate how
Texas courts will rule incorrectly, it
is better than having state Judges
answer state-law questions without
full, lowercourt records, in cases
where federal Judges have the final
say.
Next week I will conclude this
series of articles with, jheJast .two
proposals. I imagineyoiffeUbking
forward to this conclusion as much
object before trial. If they fail to do
so, then they should be deemed to
have waived the right to base an
appeal on the defect. Objections
should be made early enough for the
state to make needed corrections.
Opponents say if the proposal Is
passed, the guarantee that
prosecutors give people accused of
crime sufficient notice of the charge
to defent themselves would be wiped
out. It would give the prosecution
unfair advantage and would go
against the principle that defendants
are innocent until proven guilty.
Opponents feel if the Legislature
allowed vague, general charges to
be fUed, the prosecution could bold
back key allegations until the caae
came to trial. If the prosecution
were allowed to correct a “mistake”
in an indictment at the last minute,
and make significant changes, the
basis fpr the defense could be

An aromatic chemical is added to natural gas
to give it a distinct odor. One that’s easy to detect
It’s this distinct odor and knowing what to do
when you detect it that keeps gas safe.
If you’re outdoors and smell gas, you should
call your local Lone Star Gas office.
If you’re indoors and detect faint whiffs,
check to see if a pilot light has gone out or a
burner valve has been left partially open. These
are corrective steps you can take yourself.
If your equipment is toorkinj properly mod
you still smell gas, please follow these
precautions:
1. Don’t switch anything electrical on
or off. Don’t strike a match or do
anything that could cause a spark.
2. Have everyone leave tiumsdiittety,
leaving door open to help ventilate.
3. Go to a nearby phone and call Lone
Star.
Help us keep natural gas one of the safest
energies available. Use your nose. Then use your
head.. .and follow the proper precautions.
(Just a reminder: Before you do any digging,
calTyour local Lone Star Gas office so they can
