Practical Suggestions On Codifying The Law Of Warehouse Receipts, Francis B. James Feb 1905

Practical Suggestions On Codifying The Law Of Warehouse Receipts, Francis B. James

Michigan Law Review

Of one hundred and sixty national commercial organizations in the United States, the American Bankers' Association and the American Warehousemen's Association have manifested the deepest interest and cooperation in improving the commercial law and making it uniform. It will be superfluous to discuss the wisdom of and necessity for codifying the law of warehouse receipts and making that law uniform throughout the United States, because the American Warehousemen's Association has already placed itself on record on these questions and appropriated fifteen hundred dollars and The Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws has employed Mr. Barry Mohun of the Washington …

One Phase Of Federal Power Under The Commerce Clause Of The Constitution, John C. Donnelly May 1904

One Phase Of Federal Power Under The Commerce Clause Of The Constitution, John C. Donnelly

Michigan Law Review

No clause of the Federal Constitution, making a grant of power, has, by judicial interpretation, been declared so broad and comprehensive in its scope as that clause which empowers Congress "to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several states and with the Indian tribes." In one of the very first cases in which the Supreme Court was called upon to consider the scope of this provision, it was quite properly held that under it, navigation was one of the important subjects which came within the federal power. Under it navigation was not only an important subject considered by …

Latest Development Of The Interstate Commerce Power, Edward B. Whitney May 1903

Latest Development Of The Interstate Commerce Power, Edward B. Whitney

Michigan Law Review

The litigation under the anti-lottery act of 1895, has for the first time raised the important constitutional question whether congress, under its general power to regulate interstate commerce, can select any particular article and exclude it from interstate commerce altogether-whether the power to regulate involves the power to prohibit. For nearly a century after the foundation of the government no attempt was made by congress to restrict interstate commerce by excluding any article therefrom. Quarantine legislation, however, opened the way, and the anti-lottery act sharply raised the question of power. Lottery tickets in the earliest days of the republic were …
