CHRIS|NAN DIDN' 7
VIOLATE LAW, IS
CLANCY 0P INI0N
No Way of Determining in
Advance How Much a Leg
iSIator May Draw in a Year.
Says Attorney General

That the law upon which state Sem
atOr Isaac Barth based his second
complaint against W H. Chrisman, of
san Juan county. his rival candidate
for the senate, does not apply to can
,didates for legislative office is the
Onion of Attorney General Frank w.
Clancy. The attorney general sent
lthis opinion to Mr.. Chrismau yester-
day,
This law requires that candidates
shall not spend more than 10 per cent
of a years salary provided for the
loffice they seek in their campaign.
Legislators do not receive any year
salary, the attorney general holds.
They are paid by the day, he points
out. Mr. clancy also raises the point
that there is no limit to the number
of extra sessions that may be called
and consequently no way OF determin-
ing i'm advance how much a legislator
may receive in a year.
Here is the attorney generals opin-
ion:
II have lust been informed by Mr..
Hickey over the telephone that you
have been charged with violation OF
corrupt practices act on the ground
that YOU expended in your campaign
In violation of section 2057 .ot the Cod
ification, more than 10 per centum OF
one years salary or compensation pro-
lNided by law for a state senator.
I'm justice to you | feel impeled
to say that shortly after your romina-
ton you conferred with me on TINS
subject and that l expressed to you
my strong opinion that this 10 per
cent limitation could not be made APP
plicahlc to candidates for the legisla-
ture because members Of the legisla-
ture do not receive any year. salary
or vear's compensation. but are paid
by the day for attendance not eXceod'
ing sixty days at any regular session
and not exceeding thirty days at any
special session. This cannot be con-
sidered as a years salary or compcn-
sation. nor is there any way, in ad-
vance. of determining what the years
compensation would be,
There seems to be no limit upon
the number of special sessions of the
legislature which may be called by
the governor In the case OF all elect
i've state and county officers, whether
executive or judicial. there Is no DIFF
ficultv in asccrtaining what the 10 per
centum would be as all such officers
receive salaries fixed either by the
constitution or by statute and are pro-
hibited from receiving any additional
official emOlument
at may be conceded that there
ought to be a limit put upon cam
paign expenditures by Il. candidate Tor
the legislature, but / am clearly OF
opinion that the legislature has not
fixed any such limit
very truly yours,
FRANK w CLANCY,

measures aimed at destruction of the
liquor traffic continue to accumulate
in congress, as both houses are

liquor measures, including the Shep-
