Especial Dispatch to the Morning journal ]
Santa Fe, N. M, Sept. G.--An inter-
esting legal question which has been
raised from time to time since the ad-
journment of the last legislature has
just been determined here by the res
ignation from the commission for the
revision of the New Mexico statutes of
Hon. Charles A. Spielg of Las Vegas,
chairman of the commission, and Hon.
Elmer r. Studley, of ffRaton, one of its
members. Both, Nj Spiess and Mr..
Studley presentedNtheir designations to
Governor Curry Immediately following
a meeting of the commission recently
held here. at which the legality of
their tenure of office was taken up,
and in this connection Attorney Gen
eral Fall has rendered an opinion in
which he holds that the Legislature
went outside its powers in appointing
the commission in the act creating 1t,
holding that the power of making the
appointments rests entirely with the
governor and that the legislature had
no business to name the members in
the act. 1t will be remembered that
the appointment of the members of
this commission by the Legislature
ponents of former Governor Hager-
man in the last legislature
Mr.. Spiess was member and
president of the council during the
last session, while Mr. Studley was a
member of the lower house. Imme-
diately after their appointment 1t was
charged that both gentlemen were
holding their positions in violation of
the organic act which provides that
no member of legislature shall hold
an office created by that legislature.
The designations. which are under
stood to have been voluntary, appear
to be an acknowledgement of the vio-
lation of this provision.
Judge Falls opinion, holding the
legislature incompetent to appoint not
only its own members, but any one
else to membership on this commits
sion. adds interest to the matter.
The resignatiOnsI have not been
formally accepted by Governor Curry,
but a reorganization of the commits
sion is expected on the governors re-
turn from his northern trip. A num-
ber of well known lawyers are being
mentioned In connection with the two
places on the commission.
