In response to the request of the city
eouneil City Attorney Inman has passed
upon the question of f he power of the
city to license or tax slot machines; The
charter of the eity provides that the
city has the power to enact ordinances
to license and regulate all "niekle-in-the-slot
machines," says Mr. Inman,
but the power to license slot machines
of other denominations seems not, to
be expressly granted in the charter. He
holds, furthermore, that the granting
of a license to operate these machines
by the council does not exempt the op
erators from prosecution under the stat
utes of the state which prohibit ther
existence. The text of the opinion as
rendered by Attorney Inman and sub
mitted to the council at the meeting
last evening, follows:
"At the request of your honorable
body I desire to submit the following in
relation to the matter of the authority '
.. . i , ?
or tne city 10 license sioc macnines iiu
nirkel-in-the-slot machine.
. ''Subdivision 6 of section 6 of the
city charter, as amended in 1902 (Spe.
Laws of Or. of ,1903, page 264) , sives
to the eommon council, among other
things, exclusive power to' enset ordi
nances to license, tax and regulate
''siekel-in-the-slot machines" but the
power to license slot machines of other
denominations seems not to be express
ly granted in said charter. As to
whether or not the term "nickel-in-the-slot
machine" should be construed as
including all slot machines of every
description semes not to have been ju
dieially decided. But alV scions involv
ing prosecutions for the keeping or
maintaining of alot machines of other
denominations seem to be based upon
statutes expressly enumerating slot ma
chines or language clearly including-
similar machines of all tlenommatlons.
The latest anthorty upon the subject of
English definitions defines niekel-in-the-slot
machines as including only slot
machines of the denomination indicated
and the general use of the terms seem
to indicate that the term 'slot machine'
is a generic term including slot ma
chines of all denominaions and that
nickel-ia-the-slot machine includes only
the machines of that denomination.
Under State's Jurisdiction.
"Said subdivision of section $ of the
charter as amended in 1903 also gives
to the common eouneil power "to li
cense, tax and regulate all such busi
nesses, callings, trades and employ-
menta as the eommon council may . re
quire to be licensed and as are not pro
hibited by the laws of the state. The
criminal statutes upon the subject or
traminsr. as well as the seeton of the
codes expressly relating to this subject.
bring the business of maintaining or
conducting such machines within the
class of those prohibited by the laws
of the state, ard I am, therefore, of the
opinion that !the council can derive no
authorityroirt the latter clause of the
charter to enact an ordinance to license
or tax or regulate slot machines of any
other denomination than that of a
nickel. ,
"The clause of the charter first
above referred to, gives to the council
plain and express power, . to , license
nickel-in-the-slot machines and such li
cense by the city under a properly en
acted ordinance will,-in my opinion,
roteet, from liability under the state
aws persons who conduct slot machines
of that denomination only.
"The present ordinance upon the
subject entitled an erdinanee 'to li
cense, tax and regulate the nickel-in-the-slot
machines within the city of
Salem, Oregon,' and repealing a certain
ordinance upon the subject, being or
dinance No. 408, approved by the may
or May 5, 1903, is therefore, insofar as
