Far.Reaching Opinion Is Given
by Walthall.

Austin, Nov. 24-An opinion OF un-
usual importance has just been rem
dered by Assistant Attorney General
walthall. He holds that a member Of
the legislature cannot, by rendering
his resignation TO the governor, and
having the same accepted. relieve
himself OF the duties and responsible
ties OF the. office, but that he must
continue to discharge said duties un-
Ill his successor has not only been
elected. but also has taken the oath
Of office
The matter was brought about over
the case of Hon. T. ID. Cobb of Bexar
county, a member OF the lower house
OF the Thirtieth legislature, who re-
signed rather than TO have to comply
with the anti-pass law. being a rail
way attorney. This ruling affects
every member OF the legislature who
resigned, as they could not be legis-
lators and hold positions which en-
titled them 10 ride on free passes.
