NO RAKE0FF FOR SECRETARY
Stiile (lllleliil I Kntltlril to Dip
Into I'l'i's Collected liy
l,niv,
LINCOLN, Jan. 23. (Special.) In tho
appended opinion Attorney General Frank
N. Prout holds that the secretary of stato
Is not entitled to any portion of tho fees
received for the registration of cattle
brands. During tho last administration W.
F. Porter, secretary of state, appropriated
to his own use one-fifth of all money ro
colved by tho brands nnd marks commis
sion, this share amounting to nbout $1,000.
The opinion follows:
LINCOLN. Jan. 21.-1 Inn. G. W. Marsh.
Secretary of State Dear Sir: I have re
ceived from you a communication reading
oh follows:
"At a session of (he lcglslatire of ISM
a law was passed treating a state brand
and mark committee. (See sections 1, 2
and ." nf chapter 11, Compiled Statutes of
1SW. page 7":t. There Is u fee of ll.f.n for
each brand or mark recorded, and It seems
that tho secretary of state, ns ono of the
members of said committee, has been tak
ing as compensation fnr services rendered
20 per cent of the feo charged for recording
such brand or mark. 1 desire your opinion
as to whether there Is any warrant of law
for such compensation."
Tho Htatutory provision to which you
mako refereiico is as follows:
"Each person desiring to have his brand
and mark recorded, as hereinafter nrovldcd.
shall pay Into the office of the secretary of
state a feo of $1.50 for recording such
brand or mark; 20 per cent of all such fees
so paid Into said office shall be paid to
each member of said state brand and mark
commltten us full compi'iisatlnu tin' their
services." (Section ", chapter II, Compiled
Hiauiics.i
There can lie no uncertainty about tin
opinion In this matter. The secretary of
suite cannot lawfully retain such a fee
for his own use. Ills rights in regard to
compensation aro controlled by the con
stitutlou. That Instrument llxcs the sal
arles of tho execjtlvo olllcers and declares
that they shall not receive to their own
use any fees, costs, perquisites of office or
other compensation.
This question was considered by tho su
premo court In the case of Moore against
Hiain, Im .Ni'ii. mi, and too cmirt said:
"Article v. sfclton 21 of tho constitution.
providing that the officers of the executive
department 'shall not receive to their own
use any ices, cnsis, interest upon puolli
moneys In their hands or under their con
trol, perquisites of office or oilier compen
sation, anil an iees mui may nereaiier lie
payable by law for services performed by
an officci, provided for In this article of
the rnnstltllt on. shal be nald In ndvauci
Into tho stato treasury; not only prohibits
all executive officers, except the treasurer,
from receiving fees at, all, and req.iircs
llieir jmyiiicni in nnviince nun ine ireasill'y
by the persons by whom they are payable.
Very respectfully, F. N. PHOCT.
Attorney General.
