The Hearne Democrat from Hearne, Texas • Page 4

The llearnc (Texas) Democrat. Thursday, July 11, Lieutenant Governor's Report From Austin By P. HOBBY Jr. The Judiciary Article, as tentatively approved by the Constitutional Convention, contains some of the most far- reaching changes adopted by the delegates. This article was the center of much controversy and contains some hard-won compromises.

The three provisions that caused the most- controversy were those relating to the merging of the Supreme Court and the Court of Criminal Appeals into a single court of last resort, to the establishment of circuit courts and to placing a ban on the right of the state as prosecutor to appeal decisions in criminal cases. The article, as approved, merges the state's two highest appellate courts into a single Supreme Court. This proposed nine-member court may sit in sections of not less than five jurists. This provision may allow the court to divide itself up into criminal and civil groups. Texas Legislature is author- to provide for a circuit court system and may abolish the present county court system.

Some delegates had favored a constitutional circuit system without necessary Legislative action. The state may appeal a trial court ruling in a criminal case if the trial court ruled a law unconstitutional. The state may also appeal from an appellate court ruling in a Our Favorite Word Is SAVINGS Yes, we have a variety of savings plans from passbook to high-interest paying certificates, tailored to your individual needs.

First State Bank of Bremond BOX 7 210 SOUTH MAIN PHONE MEMBER F. D. I. C. Established 1905 criminal case unless the Supreme Court refuses to hear the matter.

The state has no right to appeal in criminal cases. The Judiciary Article is designed to end specialization of the court system and to facilitate a unified flow in the presently over-burdened system. In addition to merging the Supreme Court and the Court of Criminal Appeals, the new article provides a new intermediary level of appeals courts with general jurisdiction. Existing courts of civil appeals will become courts of appeals with authority to hear both criminal and civil matters. Present restrictions on district courts are eliminated.

District courts and circuit courts, as they are established, will comprise the trial level of the new system. Each district and each circuit court could have as many judges as necessitated by their case load. This three-tier court system will be aided by a new statewide administrative operation supervised by the Supreme Court. The court administration mechanism will allow the transfer of cases and other action that will equalize the case loads of different courts and facilitate judicial process. Justice of the peace courts and municipal courts will remain as local entities outside the unified judicial system.

Proposals to provide for the appointment rather than election of judges were not adopted.

I noticed them just yesterday. They are: interest rates are now equal to the inflation rate. That's right. Inflation is now pegged at 12 percent a year and big city bank interest rates are now at 12 percent.

I don't know how the economists missed this, but I have been figuring, if the two keep abreast of each other for a few more years, they will of course reach 100 percent. All right, say you need to borrow $1,000. You borrow it at one window and then if you're smart you'll race to another window and pay it back before the interest eats you up. That takes care of 100 percent interest rates, but about how to handle inflation, I'm not very clear. The trouble is, not everybody believes in inflation.

You take a rancher. He goes into a cafe and the waitress tells him coffee has gone up to 20 cents a cup on account of inflation and he believes her. He hands over 20 cents. But when he takes some steers to market and says they're worth 40 cents a pound, nobody believes him. When one part of the population believes in inflation and another part doesn't, you've got a complex situation on your hands.

It seems to me the rate of inflation ought to be set by Congress and it ought to be made to apply to everybody. How long could the game of football last with one end of the ball inflated and the other end flat? Yours faithfully, J. A. By the Residents Mr. and Mrs.
