The facts upon which the petition is based are few, clear,
and well defined. There is no dispute upon the facts. They
are briefly: That the National Coal Company is a private
corporation created by Act No. 2705 (vol. 12, Public Laws,
p. 216, March 10, 1917) as amended by Act No.
298
2822 (vol. 14, Public Laws, p. 202, March 5, 1919). Act No.
2705, as amended by Act No. 2822, constitutes the charter
of said company. Said Acts are not public laws. They are
private Acts of the Philippine Legislature. They provide
that said company shall be subject to the provisions of the
Corporation Law (Act No. 1459) in so far as they are not
inconsistent with the provisions of said charter, and shall
have the general powers mentioned in said Act (Act No.
1459) and such other powers as may be necessary to
enable it to prosecute the business of developing coal
deposits in the Philippine Islands, and mining, extracting,
transporting, and selling the coal contained in said
deposits. Said charter provided that the capital of said
company shall be P3,000,000, divided into 30,000 shares of
stock with a par value of P100 per share.
Said charter further provided that the Governor-
General on behalf of the Government of the Philippine
Islands, shall subscribe for 51 per centum of said capital
stock, and that the "voting power of all such stock owned
by the Government of the Philippine Islands shall be
vested exclusively in a committee consisting of the
Governor-General, the President of the Senate, and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives." At the time of the
adoption of said charter the Philippine Legislature
appropriated the sum of P1,530,000 for investment in the
stock of said company to be acquired by the Government of
the Philippine Islands.
The National Coal Company was organized in
accordance with the provisions of its charter. A Board of
Directors was elected from time to time. Its business was

government?
The Government participates in the management of the
affairs of the National Coal Company every time it
exercises by proxy the right of -Voting in the election of its
directors, and, according to Chief Justice Marshall, in so
doing it acts as a corporator merely and does not exercise
any sovereign power. Its proxy, in performing his duty
exercises no greater power. And it cannot be otherwise, for
we would have the absurd result of an agent exercising a
higher power than that of the principal in the fulfilment of
the latter's mandate. If the voting of the stock of the
Government in the election of the directors of the National
Coal Company is the act, not of the Government in its
sovereign capacity, but of a corporator merely, the
designation of the members of the voting committee by the
Government to vote its stock does not involve a delegation
of a sovereign function of government, for the function
delegated is of a private and not of a public nature.
The case of State vs. Stanley (66 N. C., 59; 8 Am. Rep.,
488), cited in the brief for the plaintiff, wherein it was held
that membership in a committee, composed of the
President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of
Representatives of the State of North Carolina, is an office,
is not in point, for said committee was entrusted with the
appointment of directors and proxies in all the
corporations in which the State was a stockholder; while
