state medical schools in Houston
and Lubbock, a new dental school
in San Antonio, and state partici-
pation in Baylor University’s den-
tal and medical schools.
He called for a state police cer-
tification program for prison pa-
rolees, an “implied consent’’ DWI
test to cut down on traffic acci-
dents involving alcohol, “enlarg-
ing’’ the Parks & Wildlife Commis-
sion to obtain better geographical
distribution, and raising work-
men’s compensation benefits from
$35 to $45 a week.
Governor Smith endorsed the
1968 State Democratic platform
(which had his approval), but he
added: “I have read the Texas Re-
publican platform. I think you will
find the two quite similar.”
Smith’s message to the Legisla-
ture left unanswered the question
of spending and taxing. He called
for economy, but conceded that
new taxes may be needed. His
recommendations as to what
should be spent and where it
should come from will follow in
another message.
His legislative program was very
extensive. Rural legislators who
have been getting objections to the
proposals for school consolidation
made by Gov. John Connally’s
Committee on Public School Edu-
cation were glad to hear Smith
call that plan impossible to pass.
He did agree with the Committee
that there should be some school
consolidations, but he felt they
should be voluntary.
Attracting much interest was the
fact that the new governor did not
mention in his list of proposed
constitutional amendments the one
to allow local option liquor-by-the-
■drink. Instead, he merely gave
legislators a copy of the Demo-
cratic platform. which called for a
statewide vote on the question.
His message came after a color-
ful inaugural program which
brought thousands to Austin. A

When Smith and Lt. Gov. Ben
Barnes took office, they gave the
Capitol the first West Texas team

Rep. Jim Nugent of Kerrville is
making another run with a bill he
has carried some 10 years. It is
designed to_improve and strength-
en the Code of Ethics for state of-
ficials. Every session, Nugent’s
ethics bill has been passed by the
House, but failed in the Senate. He
is optimistic this time, since so
many senators — and Lieutenant
Governor Barnes — are former
House members who have voted
for the proposal in past sessions..
