Tax cut plan moves through Texas House committee
Texas lawmakers push ahead with implementing a $1 billion tax cut under the voter approved Tax Relief Amendment. The House Ways and Means Committee endorses key provisions including equal treatment of corporate and family farms, a two-car exemption from property taxes, and a $10,000 homestead exemption for elderly and disabled with income under $7,500. Debate centers on excluding corporate farms and vehicle tracking challenges, with local revenue replacement for 1980 and 1981 car taxes. Local governments would be reimbursed fully in 1980 and half in 1981.

Helen Keller dossier highlights Hoover era paranoia
A Washington column recalls Helen Keller as FBI subject under J Edgar Hoover with a 44 page file detailing suspicions and radical ties. It notes Keller's support for the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, condolences to Ella Reeve Bloor, and greetings to Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, plus her anti red baiting stance and March 1948 letter. It contrasts with Jaworski and Krogh post Watergate and closes with Teng Hsiao-ping humor on Taiwan and Islam.

Who is to judge the judges in federal ethics crisis
For over four decades Congress has sought a workable way to discipline federal judges beyond impeachment, which is rarely used due to the high burden and lengthy process. The Constitution anchors judges to good behavior but offers no clear enforcement method, leaving a long-standing procedural dilemma.

Reform of Judicial Discipline Proposed by Sen Nunn
The piece outlines decades of congressional attempts to discipline federal judges. It cites Jefferson and Wilson criticizing impeachment, notes only four impeachments and removals, and recalls efforts by Sumners Hayden McAdoo Tydings and Nunn. It explains a commission and court on judicial conduct and disability with secret proceedings and sanctions. The plan, backed by ABA and others, seeks Senate approval and House consideration amid calls for citizen remedies against courts.
