The “Mayor's Bill” Declared a Constitutional Measure, Judgment of Lower Court in Klokke Case Affirmed. The Same Authority Sustains the Action of the “ Outside Judges.” But Says They Are Entitled to No _ Extra Pay. List of Opinions Filed with the Clerk at Ottawa. . THE MAYOR'S BILL, IT 18 DECLARED CONSTITUTIONAL, Special Dispatch to The Chicano Tribune, Orrawa, Il, Jan. 30.—Tho following is an abstract of the decision in the Klokke cave: The People ex rel. Klokke ve, Wright, Scholfeld, J, The first question eaalng on tie record is: Does Section1of the act of July, 1872, known as the Mayor's bill, include within its purview Commissioners ef the Board of Police of the City of Chicago(quoting the section)? It is contended that Com- missioners of the Board of Police were not membersof a Board orgsnized under the Charter of the City of Chicago, or anyamendment thereto, The first Board of this deecription was organized under an act in force Feb. 21, 1861. (Pub. laws, 1861, p. 151.] That ct, whiie not parporting to be an amendment fo the Ofty Chas tex, was such in its necessary offect, It is entitled “ Xn Act to Establich a Basrd of Polica in and for the City of Chicago, snd to Prescribe theie Powers and Duties,” Tt required the organization of an Executive Department in the Municips {Government of the City of ‘Chicago to be known 2a the “ Board of Police ” of aaid city, and to this Bosrd {¢ transfers the contro! and management of the entire police force of the city, and ‘leo of all public police property and cortiiny powers heretofore exercised by the Mayor snd Cémmon Council are theroafter to be exercised by this Board of Police, This Bosrd isto reogive salaries ont of the City Treasury, und taxes are to be levied and collected for funds to defray their expenses, etc., and all prior laws in conflict with this “are ex- preealy repealed, From the time this becamo the law, it was the source of certain municipal powers exercised by the officers of the Board in the City Gor- ernment in the protection of the lives, property, ana Hberty of the citizens, It became fundamentally a part of the orgunic law of the municipality.—on amendment of the Charter; and the mere fact that the act in its title does’ not profess to amend the Charter ts unimportmt. [Quoting to sustain this view, The People va, Mahoney, 13 Mich., 481; People va Briggs, 69 N. ¥., 553.] ‘That the circumstance that the police were authoriz— ed in emergencies to discharge duties beyond the city limits neither changes the character of the act nor in any degreo impaira its force aaa part of the funda- mental law of the city. The prominent and conirol- Mng object in its enactment was tha welfare of the ; city, and all else is incidental. ‘Tho first section of the tenth chapter of “ An act to reduc? the Charter of the City of Chicago and the eeveral acts amendatory there- of” into one act, and reviee the same, in force Feb, 13 1873, [Pritate’ laws 1863, p. 109} declares th: there shall be established an’ Executive Department of the Municipal Government of the City of Chicago, ta be known as the “ Board of Pohce.” ‘This is professedly a part of the Charter of the City of Chicago. [Here he quotes from the act of Feb. 16, 185, reducing the Charter and amendments in one act, the section relative to the term of office of the Board of Police. Also gives the twelfth section of.the poo for_the_elec:.,, ‘ion oF these Bhe general election for county officers by the voters of Cook County as successors to those whose terms ex- pire by the eleventh section. Also, quotes tho thirteenth section asto their salary; also the fourteenth section authorizing their pay to come from the City ‘Treasury; also the eighteenth section as to bonds; also Sec. 21, giving them custody of firearms and military equipments ; also Sec 23, giving thom control of the Fire Department, custody and control of the fire. engines, apparatus, etc. It would, in our opinion, in view of the varfous en- actments, be absurd to hold that the Board of Police is not what the taw declares it to be, the Executive De- partment of the Municipal Departmout of the City or Chicago, We cannot hesitate to suy that it was or ganized under xmendments to tho city charter. It was the creature of the Legisisture, who had discre- tionto provide how the Board of Police should be elected cr appointed, and to change the mode from time to time, Ordinarily, it is true, the right of clect- ing persons to positicns'ot public’ trust is confided only to those interested; but in theatsence of = Constituifonal regulation, this is not indispensable, ‘The role ordinarily’ {s that ‘when the right is once given to elect to s particular Office, 1t 1 not subsequently withheld and the office filled by appointment; yet this is but a rractice which may be departed from (the Constitution being silent on the subject) whenever the Zegislature sees fit to do so. Anotable departure from this principle exts in the present Constitution 23 to Jusdces of tho Peace of Chicago, As we understend the various provisions of the acts of 1863 and 1835, iho indi- vidual Commisstoner of tho Poll possesses no official authority, hag no official duties. ‘The word Commissioner sorres to describe a member of a Board which offi cial power. He cam only act by concurrence with the Board, They ore not individually city olficers, ‘The Court holds that the act in question is constitu~ tional, becauwe its title relates to a general subject. The objection that it is special legisiation also fails, because the act fs neither local nor It applies in generel terms to all citior, and the question as to duration is immaterial. A general law may be limited or extended for all time. ‘Entertaining those views, it follows that the judg. ment below must be aftirmed, —-—— OPINIONS FILED. . REPORT FROM THE CLEBE AT OTTAWA.

Hamilton, bas just passed upon the constitution= ality of the statute allowing the Judges of one Court to call in help from ontsidecounties. The suit was @ confession for 3634, and an was taken on the ground that the Judge before whom it was entered was not one of the Judges of Cook County. The Supreme Court said, in regard to the coguovit, that the defendant had expressly, by his attorney, released any and all errors, and agreed that no writ of error or appeal ahould be taken. They therefore could not seo how tho case could be taken to ikem, unless it was for purposes of vexation or some other equally wrongiul purpose When the defendant had in the most solemn and delib- | erate manner waived of record all errors that,, might have occurred at the trial, it would be un heard of to permit him to assign 28 error this which be bad solemnly released of record. It would be an actof bad faith on his part, and if he could not bo bonnd by his deliberate admis- sions in open court, it would be difficult to kn; how he could be estopped. know IN REGARD TO THE CONSTITUTIONALITE of Judgea of one county assisting those, of another, the Court said that in the case of J:ynes vs. Alba, it had held the provision of, the statute in that regard as constitutional, and, the did not wish to review it. The placita ‘fn the case which stated that there wore five Judges sitting at the timo of the rondition of the, judg- ment in question was erroneous. It was evi- dent thateach of the Judges of both courts should be invested with all tho powers of & Cir- cuit Judge, and should, alone snd independent of the others, perform all of the func‘fions and discharge all the duties imposed by the Conatin- tion and legislative enactments which pertain to the Circuit Judges of the State.* Although called by different names, the Judges of each conrt are severzily under the law as it now stacds, in fact, but Circris Jadges (sce Jones vs. Alba, Septomber Term, 1873). And being Circuit Judges, they.shonld in ail things conform to the law, usages, and prattice govern iog the Circuit Courts of the State. » When hold- | ing coart each Judge should hold a separate braach, and keep a ducket, a recoral, and io alk things perform the duties of a Wircut Judge. His record should show that he elone “was pre~ siding. unconnected ‘with either or any of the other Judges of either court. The placita to his record should state that he was present, holding a@ branch cuurt, and should not acate that any otber Judge fy preeent, eo record in the present case would seem to show that five Judges tried the cause. tas such a Court would not be withow jurisdiction, for any one of the Judges would have juriadio- tion, and the association of the others would nos denrive him of his rights. Buta Judge so acting in another county on equa, the Court beld, weuld.ant bp entitled to au; : EXTRA COMPENSATIO“, and the provision of tho statute giving him $10 a day as unconstitutional. The Sixteenth section of ihe Judiciary act was Very explicit in enacting that Jadges of the Circuit Courts should receive $3,000 = year, which should not bo imerezsed of diminished daring their term of office, nor snould they be entitled to any other compensation, perquiai or benofit whatever, in any form. The language was as fuil, cloar, and hensive os could be well conceived to prevent Supreme and Circuit Judgus from receiving any other compensation then ther salaries, under apy name or pretense whatever, for the dis- charge or any duty partaining to their offices And” it was probibitory” on the Jadges from receiving the compensation for the performance of = auch ~—sdlutiew. excopt thoir salary. It alao probibited the Gen- eral Aesembly from providing aay other. Bub the power to hold such courts, or branch courts, did not depend upon the forticth section of the cbnpter entitled “Coarve.” Tho power was con- fezred by the thirty-ninth section of that ct, and if Circuit Judges caose, ander. that section, to go cut of their circuits to hold cours, or branch court, for other Judzes, wizhou compen- sation therefor, the Court eid it failed to see that it violated’ any provision of tho Constitu- tion. Tho power to nerform the duties in other than tkeir own circuns in nc wise depended upon the power to reccive oxtra compcasation ih etor, as thoy were still performing judicial juties. ‘The effect of this decision will be to virtually ent off any help from country Judges, for i: is hardly tobe supposed that a Judge from another county will come heze and pay heavy hotol bills for the honor of the thine, unless, perhaos, he can combine honor aad pleasure by a visit at night to the opera at McVicker’s or Burlington Hall, nor would it be generous to ask sucha favor when there was no likeliood of being called npon to reciprocate. The Constitation, however, ia so plain that -no other conclusion could have been reached.
