' i I 1 ' i Office Secure Ncuncr Finds Holding Two Jobs Constitutional - - Though the offices; f state sen ator I and . highway commissioner are f incompatible.'' the office of Sen. Merle Chessman of Clatsop county cannot be declared vacant by Secretary of State Robert I S. FarrelL; jr., an opinion - handed down Monday by Attorney Gen eral ! George Neuner stated.! It added that a senator could be! dis qualified only by the! senate, j 1 " Thus the office of I state senator from Clatsop county' is not vacant and will not have to be filled- at the 1944 election, Neuner ruled. The t secretary ' of state had i re quested the. opinion I . 1 , L Commenting on a section of the state: constitution which . provides that a legislator may! not hold an other lucrative office; at the same time: Neuner said: ; j j "As a member of the state high way i commission Chessman i re ceives no compensation. He is! on ly allowed his actual traveling and other necessary expenses ! in curred in performing! the duties! of his office. Because the office; to which he was appointed is not lu crative, Chessman,- by accepting; it, did not become ineligible toj a seat in the legislative! assembly. Nor is he holding more than one lucrative office at the same time. Therefore, the constitutional pro vision is no,t applicable." Neuner held that the duties! of; to a limited extent, bat the nation's entire enough to last us 222 days. i 1 1 i .i !... anguage.! n'(DKr 'on the state highway . ! commission members are administrative. ; t ; The opinion continued: I - ."It would ! appear that the of fice of state senator and that of a member of the state highway commission are incompatible, and by the great weight of 'authority the acceptance by the holder of one office of another office, which is '' incompatible with the one which he holds, is a relinquish ment of or -resignation from the office first held, and does not con stitute the holding of both of fices." f Reference was made by Neuner to the supreme court opinion in the case of Lessard against SnelL Involving a somewhat similar le gal question: j "It was the evident intention of the legislature, in amending the law - subsequent , to , the Lessard opinion,' to - provide' '. specifically the conditions some one of which must exist when , the secretary of state might declare or rule that the seat of a member of the legis lature is vacant," Neuner' said. "In the present case this office has been furnished no informa tion indicating that any of the conditions thus provided exist, in the case of the office to which Chessman was elected. "Based upon what has .hereto fore been said, you are advised that It is my opinion that you have no authority to declare the office of state senator, to which Chess man was elected, to be vacant. In my opinion, enforcement of the provisions of section 1, article III, of the constitution, in their appli cation to members of the -legislature are enforceable only by the respective houses . of the legisla ture.
