ED AS M
SiHWfmt' Onirt Unanimous in Derlsir
inK Law Consfitutioiial With Ex
ception or That Part IN ftr
rini? to Appointments.
a.-
The supreme court of Nebraska has
upheld the act of the hist legislature
providing for the appointment of a
court commission comprising tiiit.e
member;-:, but declares void that. part.
of the act whirl: limits the court in
choice of commissioners to nom
inees proposed lv ihe governor. I 'io
ourt says the legislature and the
governor cannot, thu-? interior with
i co-ordinate branch of the state gov-
rnment any more tlt;n the court
could appoint ollk-ers or employes- for
the house of somite.
The last lev islai u re passed nn act
or tl.e appointment o! a court com
mission to assist the court in dispos
ing of cases. It made no appropria
tion for the pay of such comniission-
rs. The court .selected three com
missioners from nominees proposed by
the governor, as provided by the act.
ind appointed Messrs. Parriott, Mar
in and McCJerr. who are serving with
out pay. The court now says the act
; an authorization by the legislature
r the appointment of commissioners
or referees, and no appropriation hav
ing been made, the legislature is lin
er moral obligation to compinsate
hese authorized assistants.
This i;; the third decision of the su
preme court upholding the validity of
court commission. The lirst deci
sion was in 1S9., upholding a commis
sion on the ground that the commiss
ioners are not judges and their opin
ions were of no foiee until examined
ami approve;! !v the court, l-ater a
imilar decision was given for a simi-
ar reason. 1 he l.alitornia court nas
ince upheld a similar law.
The holding of the court at this
time by the entire court. The va-
idity of the commission lav having
been attacked m several cacs the
court deemed it proper to render an
opinion.
It had been alleged that the ac . was
oid because litigants were deprived
f the right to be heard in the court of
t recoit. Ihe conn now hoids that
he court exercises its judgment in
uh case and also in the cases of mo-
. i i i
ions jor rer.eai ir.g, xnis ueir.g c,or-o
by the court on reports of the com
mission. It is hel.l mat the commis-
ior; rentiers n judgments, muhes no
orders, e'-ercises no judicial functions.
The decision of the court contains
le following:
"Justice delayed is often justice de
nied. The serious condition in which
the people of the state have been
placed by the absence of restriction
upon the right of appeal and the con
signment delay convinces us that it
was tor the public welfare that me
ourt be not unduly sensitive as to
clear and undoubted constitutional
ight to ignore or reject all reeommen
ations for the appointment by whom
soever matte, and the names oi lit
men were suggested to make ap
pointment from the list. The work
of the commission has justified the
selection made.
That portion of the act which at-
temps to confine the right to appoint
two nominees of the governor is clear-
7 void.
Neither the legislature nor the gov
rnor has the right to dictate whom
the court shall appoint as the referees
or assistants. The court might as
well assume to appoint the chief clerk
or sergeant at arms of each house of
he legislature. The court, the lcg's-
ature, and the executive and co-ordin-
te branches of the state government
and under the constitution neither can
exercise powers conferred by the peo
ple upon the other.
The act, if strictly and literally con
strued is, in part, volative of some
constitutional provisions, but the void
portions may be and have been disre
garded as unessential and as con
strued by the court a valid act is
left.
"The report of the findings made by
the commission is similar to the report
of a referee and is not in any sense a
judgment.
The commission renders no judg
ments, makes no orders, exercises no
judicial functions. The act is an
authorization by the legislature that
the commissioners or referees may be
appointed to aid in disposing of the
accumulated work, and no appropria
tion having been made, it imposes a
moral obligation to compensate those
authorized assistants. - Such an act
is valid." Lincoln News.
