Winona, Minnesota. =,
Dear Sir: II
Your favor of September 18th to AZ; At;
torney General Lyndon A. Smith mas mas
been by him handed to me for &c. az
tention.
Your inquiry whether under the con con
st;tution of this state city may adopt
q charter in which it is provided that
H.. chief executive officer of the city
shall be a city manager and delegatine
to the mayor minor duties, such as az
cent;ng process when such city is sued,
etc. -. -,
You call our attention to the clty
charter Of Sumter, South Carolina, and
also to other cities having the so-calleo
c;tv manager form Of government. Ihe
plan of government adopted by oumtel
provides for three commissioners, q
more. These commissioners are to ad,
minister the affairs of the city. AS
understand it, the form adopted IN the
Ohio cities follows the Sumpter plan: y 4
aYou desire to know whether undel e
or constitution the Sumpter plan may
he adopted. Section 36, Article 4 q
the Constitution of the State OF Minne Vii ne
sota provides, among other things: !,
CIT shall be feature Of all sucn
charters that there shall be prov1oe"
among other things, for a mayor OF
chief magistrate, and a legislative oooy
Under the provisions OF our con,
stitution the legislative functions OF
the council cannot be delegated. In
the case of Minneapolis Gas Light com
ranv VS.. City of Minneapolis, 36 MINI q,
159, at page 162, Mr.. Justice Mltchel'
says: ..o+
public powers and trusts OF govern
mental nature, and involving the ex.
ercise of legislative discretion, cannon
be delegated to others by the city
ccuncil.' ,.,
The same learned justice, in re Will
sou 80 MINI. 145, at page l4S, says:
''But this power to regulate is vest
ed in the city council. It is a power
which they cannot delegate to any per-
SOL or officer.'
Tt seems, therefore, that any plan in
which the legislative powers OF the
council are delegated to manager
would be contrary to the provisions OF
our constitution. There can be no
legal objection, however, to delegatine
ministerial duties to such manager
This rule is clearly stated in the case
Of Jewell Betting company VS.. Village
of Bertha, 81 MINI. 9.
"Merely ministerial functions may
be- delegated to an officer or committee
Harcourt VS.. Common Council, 81 N. j
L. l5S, 40 Att. 800. But such power as
requires the exercise Of Judgment and
discretion must be performed by the
BODY ITSELF"
This I believe answers your inquiry
Yours truly.

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1913-12-19
aG.1he Republican Problem

The Republican national committee at its meeting
here shou31 not 60 too far afeld. Sufficient unto the
day is the proposition thereof. The proposition today
ia the calling Of a special national convention. It
is urged Mht great good would come to the party
from such. q meeting, and that II should be held
within a few months-in the early spring, at latest.
Might,ln3not be well for the committee to confne
sltself to- tiaer leaving all matters relating to changes
In party btpcedure and to future party policies to
the sconvepAon? In calling a Congress together in
extra session a President might desire that it confne
itself to s6nA subject and legislate only on that. But
he could not enforce his desire. When the body as
sembled 1t would be, the Judge of, and would prepare
It's own program.
If a canxention is called 1t will prepare its own
program when it meets. 1t will have the power to
do much or little. 1t may confne itself to what may
be described as live issues-those relating to the
composition of the regular convention in 1916, and to
the method Of organizing that body. Or it may dis
cuss the past, with a view of improving things for
the future, and take account also of public opinion
respecting the new administration and the present
Congress-
1t is a good, rather than a bad, sign that both
conservative and progressive Republican are looking
alive. In both camps there is q comeback" feeling.
The depression of six months ago is lifting. Men Of
the Cummins and Borah kind are as earnest for
union as men Of the Root and Gallinger kind. All
alike believe that, united again, the party will stand
and control again. And with such men on deck, ami
mated by that feeling, why should not union be the
result of the special convention?
A misapprehension is abroad on the subject of
reducing the Southern representation in Republican
national conventions. That is not a new issue, grow
ing out ofsIProgressivism. 1t is absurd to claim it
for Mr.: Roosevelt. Mr.. Hanna. Mr.. Quay, Mr.. Plat
Of New York, all favored 1t, and on more than one
occasion tried to have it adopted. That it should be
adopted is plain, and that now is a good time-at the
special convention-admits of but little discussion.
Men, as we'll as measures, are naturally under tho
glass. Mr.. Roots mastery speech on the currency
which, had. it been made some weeks ago, might
have causedsthe %reshaping of the whole Democratic
measure: and may affect it somewhat even now-has
brought HE name forward in the speculation for
1916. And there are others. The Republicans are
not skimped, as to leaders. Their problem is, whittier
and how? And if they settle that satisfactorily, the
man will appear when the hour strikes.-Washington
Star.
