Re: Validity of House Bill 

Dear Sir:

. 

You request au offiuial .opinlon on the con-~ 

atltutiouallty of Bouse,Blll lo. 220, wblch bill %tself Is attached to your request. This bill is short, 

and we reproduce it in full aa follows: 

"A BIIL * 

"TO BE EIVTITIED ', 

"AH ACT to amend Title 5, Chapter 1, 

of the Penal Code of Texas 

by adding thereto another 

article to be kuoun a8 Article 178b, and meking bribery 

of officials, players and 

participants in athletic contests a crime. 

%E IT REACTED BY TRE LEQISLATDRE OF TgE STATR OF TEXAS: 

"Section 1. That Title 5, Chapter 1, 

of the Penal Code of Texas, be amended by 

adding thereto another ertlcle to be known 

as Article 178b, eud to'read as follows: 

"'Article 178b. Whoever shell bribe 

or attempt to bribe any player or partioipant in any athletic contest, or any official in any athletic coutest, whose action or nonaction might affect the result 

of such contest, with the intent to lnflu- 

'ence or change the result or outcome of 

such sthletic contest, shall be confined 

ln the penitentiary for not less than two 

nor more than five years,'" 
. 

Hon. Cecil Storey - Page 2,,V-72 

We think there is great doubt as to the validity of House Bill Ro. 220 in its present form for the 

P ollowlng rea s on9 . 

The bill although creating the offense of 

bribery, does not define the term “bribe” or “bribery,” 

but makes the same a part of Title 5, Chspter 1, dealing with bribery. 

In this chapter, the term “bribe,” is defined, 

but the definition there as given would’ not include the 

Persons mentioned In your bill, that Is, the. “officials, 

Players and particlpitants” In athletic contests; because such personsdo not perform “any duty, publlo or 

official,” as do the persons specifically named in Article 177 of’that ohapt,er. The bill, therefore, if enacted into law, might be stricken down for want of definitenes,s. ., 

;;.- 

s We s’uggest that’.the, preferable. ,way would be 

tb amend the bill - body and title - and create a new 

offense in which the word “bribe” Is specifically defined. 

Such a bill aa is suggested, if passed, would 

in our opinion be a valid law. 

We. return tee bill herewith. 

j . ; 

SUMMARY 

.: 1. House .Bill Ro. 220 of the 50th 

Legislature proposing a new Article to 

be added to Title 5, Chapter I, of the 

Penal Code to be numbered Article 178b, 

deallng with officials, players, and 

participants in athletic contests is’ 

probably uncoustitutiona 1. 

Y 

2.’ such’ a bill proposing a new 

aud independent act defining the word 

“bribe, ‘” would be constitutiousl, and 

if passed would be valid law.

# Hubert Humphrey: A Featured Biography

**

----

Known as the “Happy Warrior,” Hubert Humphrey represented Minnesota in the Senate from 1949 to 1964, presided over the Senate as vice president from 1965 to 1969, and then returned to the Senate again in 1971. A dedicated advocate for civil rights, Humphrey gained national attention in 1948 for his powerful Democratic convention speech calling for full equality regardless of race, class, or religion. He served as floor manager for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Working closely with his Republican counterpart, Thomas Kuchel, Humphrey skillfully maneuvered that landmark legislation to passage. He also proposed creation of a Peace Corps, pressed for a nuclear test ban treaty with the Soviet Union, and sponsored the Humphrey-Hawkins Full Employment bill of 1978. Following his death on January 13, 1978, Humphrey was accorded the honor of lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda. In 2011 the Senate passed a special resolution to commemorate the centennial of Humphrey’s birth.

CRS Report: Federal Civil Rights Statutes: A Primer
#### Theodore H. Silkman, Appellant, *v.*The Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Yonkers, Respondent.

*Water rents*— not *a tax.*

A water rent, established and collected by a board of water commissioners, directed by the act under which it was incorporated, to establish a scale of rents called water rents, payable in advance or upon a stated term of credit, and authorized to cut off the supply of water if such rents are not paid, is not a tax. *

Appeal by tbe plaintiff, Theodore H. Silkman, from a judgment of the Supreme Court in favor of the defendant, adjudging the plaintiff not entitled to the injunction issued in this action on September 27, 1890, entered in the office of the clerk of the county of Westchester on the 8th day of May, 1893, upon a decision of the court rendered at the Westchester County Special Term.

The board of water commissioners of the city of Yonkers furnished water to Theodore H. Silkman and presented certain quarterly bills to him for the amount apportioned as a burden against the premises owned by him. With each bill presented to Silkman, he received notice that if such bill was not paid within thirty days, his supply of water would be cut off. Prior to September, 1890, he paid all the bills so presented to him, but under protest.

On September 1, 1890, a bill was presented by the board of water commissioners to Silkman for' four dollars and sixty cents for water furnished to liis premises, and payment thereof was demanded, the board threatening that unless such bill was paid before October 1, 1890, the water supply would be cut off from plaintiff’s house.

Thereupon plaintiff brought this action' to recover the amounts theretofore paid by him under protest to such board of water com-misssioners, and to restrain such board from cutting off his supply of water, and obtained a temporary injunction, restraining the board from cutting off or interfering with Silkman’s supply of water.

Upon the trial, judgment was rendered in favor of the defendant, adjudging that the plaintiff was not entitled to the pending injunction.

*38
      *William P.*Piero, for the appellant.

*Joseph F.*Daly, for the respondent.

Barnard, P. J.:

The water rates are not taxes. The act under which the defendant was incorporated, chapter 30, Laws of 1873, directs the commissioners to establish a scale of rents payable in advance or- upon a stated term of credit to be called water rents. The board was authorized to cut off the supply of water if these rents were not paid. There is no basis for terming these water rents a tax. *(Provident Inst., etc.,*v. *The*Mayor, 113 U. S. 506; *Treadwell*v. *Van*Schaick, 30 Barb. 444.)

The commissioners did fix the rates, and it was supplied and paid for, but under a protest on account of his receiving no notice of the levying of a tax on the land. There is no lien on the land for water furnished and not paid for. There will be a tax on land for a deficiency to meet the purpose of the act, and when this tax is laid it will be upon notice.

The judgment should be affirmed, with costs.

Pratt, J., concurred.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.

###### Department of Energy

###### Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

          - [Project Nos. 271-128]

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed an application to delegate authority to Entergy Arkansas, Inc (licensee) for approving excavation and dredging activities at the Carpenter-Remmel Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 271). An environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of staff's review of the proposal. The project is located on the Ouachita River, in Hot Springs and Garland Counties, Arkansas.

In the application, the licensee proposes a procedure that establishes guidance for removing rock, soil, and silt materials from Lakes Catherine and Hamilton, the project's two reservoirs, without prior Commission approval. The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the probable environmental impacts of the proposed procedure and concludes that approval of the proposal would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.

                    The EA is attached to a Commission order titled “Order Modifying and Approving Dredging and Excavation Permitting Procedure,” which was issued May 4, 2010, and is available for review and reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's Web site at                     *http://www.ferc.gov*                     using the “elibrary” link.

BILLING CODE 6717-01-P
#### Walter W. Lambert, as Trustee of the Bradley Furniture Manufacturing Company, and Others, Appellants, *v.*Property Insurance Company, Limited, Respondent.

*Attachment*— foreign *corporation.*

Appeal from an order of the Special Term, entered on the 27th day of April, 1911, vacating a warrant of attachment.

Clarke, J.:

The warrant of attachment was granted upon the ground that the defendant was a foreign corporation. The motion to vacate was made upon the papers upon which the warrant was granted. The affidavit of the plaintiff states: “ That the defendant, the Property Insurance Company, Limited, is a foreign corporation duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the Kingdom of Great Britain.” The complaint, which is verified by the plaintiff, states positively: “ That at all the times hereinafter mentioned, the defendant was and now is a corporation duly created, organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the Kingdom of. Great Britain and having its principal office in the city of London, England, and transacting the business of insurance in the United States through its attorney, the Seddon Underwriting Company at No. 95 William Street, New York City.” Attached to the complaint and made a part thereof was the policy of insurance, which is entitled'as follows: “Property Insurance Company, Limited. (Incorporated under the Companies’ Acts, 1862 to 1898, in the year 1898). Chief office, 85 Moorgate Street, London, E. C.” The positive averments of the affidavit and complaint are here supported by the policy of insurance attached to the complaint upon which the suit was brought, and are sufficient to satisfy the court, in the absence of denial Or proof to the contrary, that the defendant was a foreign corporation'! The order appealed from should be reversed with ten dollars costs and disbursements; the motion denied, with ten dollars costs, and the attachment reinstated. Ingraham, P. J., Laughlin, Scott and Miller, JJ., concurred. Order reversed,with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion denied and attachment reinstated, with ten dollars costs.
# Carter Glass: A Featured Biography

**

----

It isn’t uncommon for a senator to be appointed to fill a vacancy. However, Virginia Senator Carter Glass (1858-1946) filled not one but two congressional seats because of deaths of sitting members. In 1902, Glass was elected to fill a vacancy in the House of Representatives and was reelected eight times. He then spent two years as President Wilson’s secretary of the treasury (1918-1920) before being asked to fill a vacant Senate seat. In part because Glass could not take his seat until February 2, 1920, a leadership deadlock occurred in the Senate. Once seated, Glass served in the Senate for over 25 years, during which time he chaired the Appropriations Committee and pioneered the Glass-Steagall Act, a sweeping reform of the banking and investment industries. Glass became president pro tempore in 1941, a position he held until his death in 1946.

# Hiram Revels: A Featured Biography

**

----

Hiram Revels of Mississippi became the first African American senator in 1870. Born in North Carolina in 1827, Revels attended Knox College in Illinois and later served as minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Baltimore, Maryland. He raised two black regiments during the Civil War and fought at the Battle of Vicksburg in Mississippi. The Mississippi state legislature sent him to fill a vacancy in the U.S. Senate during Reconstruction, and he quickly became an outspoken opponent of racial segregation. Although Revels's term in the Senate lasted just a year, he broke new ground for African Americans in Congress.

U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE

93d Congress, 2d Session I-ouse Document No. 93-382

38-011 0 WASHINGTON 1974
To the House of Representatives:

I am withholding my approval from H.R. 11541, a bill which would

amend the National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of

1966. I am advised by the Attorney General and I have determined

that the absence of my signature from this bill prevents it from becoming law. Without in any way qualifying this determination, I am

also returning it without my approval to those designated by Congress to receive messages at this time.

This bill would amend section 4(d) of the Act of October 15, 1966,

by adding a new standard in determining the authority of the Secretary of the Interior to allow certain rights-of-way across lands of the

National Wildlife Refuge System. This new standard would require

the Secretary to review all reasonable alternatives to the use of such

area, and then make a determination that the proposed right-of-way

use is the most feasible and prudent alternative for such purpose. If we are to have adequate energy-transmission and communication

facilities, we must have rights-of-way on which to locate them. Of

course, when such lands have a special status as wildlife refuges or

national parks, we must fully protect this status when portions of these

areas are sought for use as rights-of-way.

However, I believe that such protection is properly provided under

existing law which requires environmental impact review and further

requires the Secretary of the Interior to determine that granting a

right-of-way across a national wildlife refuge or national park must

be compatible with the purposes for which the park or refuge had

been established. Only last year, Congress enacted legislation which

had the effect of reiterating this protection in the case of refuges.

In short, our wildlife refuges are properly protected by existing law. We should avoid changes in the law that could create further

obstacles and delays in the construction of vitally needed facilities,

particularly those facilities designed to help meet urgent energy

needs.

Accordingly, I am withholding my approval from H.R. 11541.
