National Guard Officers to Carry
Arms Only When on Duty.
Adjutant General A. S. Brookes,
Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Dear Sir: In response to your oral
inquiry as to the right OF officers of
the National Guard to carry arms,
have to say that I am of opinion that
when engaged in the discharge OF
their official dutias they may carry
such arms as are necessary for that
purpose | do not believe that they
have any right, by virtue of their Of
fetal position, to carry arms at any
other time any more than any other
citizen,
Yours truly,
FRANK w. CLANCY,
Attorney General
Territorial Officials May Be Delegates
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Aug. II, 1910.
Hon. Alexander Read, District At
torney, TERRA Amarillo, N. M.
Dear Sir-I have your letter of the
Sth inst. | know of no provision Of
law by which you would be disquali
fed as delegate to the constitutional
convention on account of being dis
trict attorney. There is statute ot
the United States which provides thai
any officer whose compensation is as
much as $4,000 per annum cannot be
appointed to or hold any other office
to which compensation is attached
and this must be the statute which
you have had in mind. I do not under
stand, however, that the law applies
to anything except Offices held undel
the United States, and it does not il
any way relate to territorial offices
such as the one which you hold.
Yours truly,
FRANK w. CLANCY,
Attorney General
