districts and as compared with such
counties as Sandoval. Rio Arriba and

the best ball game played in town

"Dear Sir In your letter TO me of
the 18th ult., you say that some time
ago you had conversation with me
in regard to your power TO accept the
resignation of member of the legis-
lature. In which | gave you an in
formal opinion that you had no such
power and you say yoll will be glad
now to have my written opinion COW
ering such a case fully,
'At the time that we talked about
this matter, made rather hasty
examination of a few standard autho-
rites, like Meehem on Public Offic-
ers. and reached the conclusion that
there was nothing in your official po-
sition which authorized you to accept
such resignation. | have now given
the matter more attention and VIII
stale, as briefly as possible, the re-
suit Of my examination.
There is nothing in our statutes
or constitution on the subject Of the
resignation of a member of the leg
islature. There was statute origin
ally adopted in February 1854. one
section of which (which reappears
as Section 1856 of the Compiled Laws
Of 1870 provided that IL any vacancy
In the office of the members OF the
legislative assembly should occur
within five months subsequent to
the annual election, the county COM
missioners of the county in which the
vacancy occurred should immediate
" notify the governor, or the pre-
siding officer of the house should the
assembly be In session. and there
upon the governor was to issue his
ordering an election to
be held to fill the vacancy, but II the
vacancy should occur at any other
ime, ii was to be filled at the next
lnnual election. At thar time legisla-
i've elections were held annually as
he above mentioned section indi-
,ates. AS far as ] am aware, there Isl
lothing else on the subject OF filling
in the statutes and this Sec
ion does not refer TO designations.
still, it is entitled to some eonsidera- !
ion in the attempt to answer your
question as viii hereinafter appear
THE constitution is equally silent /

lation, the only thing on the subject |

There are some states In which
he courts have held that any civil I
fficer has an absolute right to re-
ign his office and nothing more is
ecessary to create a vacancy than
