APRIL 6, 1983 THE BKOWNSV1LLE HERALD AGED OF HOUSE IS HARD WORKER AUSTIN, April H. MVRop. Goodmnn ot Franklin is the okles 1 member of the house In years and one oi' the oldest In length of''ser- vlee, but is also one of the.hardest working committee chairmen in tho legislature. Goodmnn Is chairman of the Important Judiciary committee which 'considered thn multitude of moni- torta bills Introduced in tho legislature. The large number of bills, dealing with court reform also wore referred to his committee foi action.

Works With Spend By hard work and keeping the commltteemen's noses to the grindstone, Goodman's group is more nearly up with its work than any of the other major aommittas. Goodman has followed the practice uie bills out of the way as feist as possible, with the result that comparatively small number are ponding before his committee. The committee works along linos different in many respects from others, If the committee doesn't believe a bill is a goo-3 one, It is killed If possible, otherwise It is forcod out on the floor on minority report. Other committees arc inclined to vote a bill out as a courtesy to tho author and then reserve tho right to fight It on floor. Many bills that subsequently are killed in the house thus are accorded places on the house calen- clar.

Dealing with the inoratoria bills one of tho hardest assignments given the judiciary committee. It voted them out uniformly with unfavorable reports but the house saw fit to order two of them printed on minority report mid later passed them. The committee considered the bills unconstitutional. Even tho authors of the proposals doubted their constitutionality, but urged their passage in the hope that the Texas courts could Jlncl some way to construe them so they would be constitutional. Holiday Embarrassing The shutdown of the banks in Texas caused much embarrassment to members of bhe legislahure, marty of whom wcro caught wlfch-.

out funds and could not obtain advances on their weekly salary warrants. The predicament of being without funds brought home to the legislature Just how serious the situation was and had a psychological effect in speeding the passage of remedial legislation. It was In style the moratorium for legislators to tell how much money they didn't have and how they wore getting around the lack of funds in meeting their incidental expenses.

of the Texas legislature are. becoming concerned about the fate of their "pet" measures. They see in the crowded legislative calendars the probability they will not even be considered on the floor, let alone given final paasage. Bill No. 35 is yet to be disposed of and the session draws nearer an'en'd, there is less likelihood that bills on: the regular calendar will consideration.

During the regular session two years ago, the house-got down to House Bill No. 37 on the regular calendar. Special Orders From here onward -members will be forced to depend on suspension requests and special to get their bills before the respective houses, since a majority of pet bills are far down on the calendar, Also, from now to end of session many of the considered will be highly controversial in nature arid will consume much time in Virtually none of the really controversial legislation hai been, finally disposed of by the legislature. Bills on such debatable questions as prohibition, revenue and taxation, establishment of new highway commission and appropriations are still before the two' houses. Road Bill Uncertain Sponsors of the new highway commission bill are hopeful they- can succeed in having the proposal set as a special order soon.

The t'H at one time occupied first place on the house suspension' calendar, but its proponents did not believe it would be timely to begin idebftte on the question and so passed it up. Now the measure has been relegated to IQth or 12th on the suspension list and its authors may be forced to seek a special setting to get it before the house.
