Federal Income Tax Amendments Of 1944, Charles G. Flanagan, Jr.
Federal Income Tax Amendments Of 1944, Charles G. Flanagan, Jr.
Washington Law Review
Present 1944 changes of the federal income tax statutes consist of amendments made by the Revenue Act of 1943, and the Individual Income Tax Act of 1944 passed in February and May of this year respectively. Additional changes are unlikely. It is anticipated therefore, that there can now be presented an analysis of statutory changes which must be considered in the preparation of returns for the year 1944.

Development Of International Law In The Western Hemisphere, Karl M. Rodman
Development Of International Law In The Western Hemisphere, Karl M. Rodman
Washington Law Review
It is almost axiomatic to say that any development of International Law in the Western Hemisphere must come as a development of the Monroe Doctrine—that all-elastic and heretofore unilateral policy of the United States of America towards Central and South America. This is because no major development of International Law is possible in the Western Hemisphere without the agreement or even leadership of the most powerful nation of that hemisphere. If the United States is to, lead, and past and present movements indicate this fact beyond question, its leadership has always been and is now being expressed in terms of …

Chief Justice Greene On Mob Law, Leander T. Turner, Roger S. Greene
Chief Justice Greene On Mob Law, Leander T. Turner, Roger S. Greene
Washington Law Review
On January 18, 1882, three men were hung by a mob in Seattle on what is now James Street between First and Second Avenues. Two of them had just been held for trial after a hearing before a justice of the peace for the murder the evening before of a popular Seattle citizen. They were seized by a mob in the court room and hurried to the place of execution, the sheriff and his deputies present being overpowered. The third was in jail awaiting trial for the murder of a policeman and was taken from the jail on the same …

Mortgages Of Personal Property To Be Subsequently Acquired, Frank C. Latcham
Mortgages Of Personal Property To Be Subsequently Acquired, Frank C. Latcham
Washington Law Review
Since a man cannot transfer what is not his, a sale of property to be subsequently acquired by the vendor is ordinarily given effect only as a contract to sell such goods after they have been acquired. Such a bargain, under the law of sales, is not self-operating to pass the property in future goods to the purchaser on their mere acquisition by the seller, but requires a subsequent act of performance by the seller assented to by the buyer to carry out the obligation, usually termed a subsequent act of appropriation. The most important exception to this rule is …
Union Security In War-Time [Part 1], Lucile Lomen
Union Security In War-Time [Part 1], Lucile Lomen
Washington Law Review
No appraisal of the present-day labor situation can be complete without a discussion of union security, which is one of the most significant trends in modem labor relations. The concept was formulated before the war, but it owes its rapid development to the need for union protection resulting from present abnormal conditions and its immediate purpose is to preserve union morale. Even when considering post-war economic and social policies, this device is important as a basis for determining the position of unions in that era. If union security is widely employed in post-war labor contracts, the device will give unions …

National Law And International Order, Linden A. Mander
National Law And International Order, Linden A. Mander
Washington Law Review
The thesis of the present paper is that the future of law in this country is dependent upon the solution of the problem of international security and that without this solution we must expect to see a progressive decline in the rule of law and a probably unlimited growth at an increasingly rapid rate of official discretionary power with all the dangers to national liberty which such a development would entail. The problem springs from the effect of total war which itself has derived from the application of technological discoveries to war upon an anarchical world society, i. e., a …
Legal Problems Relating To The Opa, Ben C. Duniway
Legal Problems Relating To The Opa, Ben C. Duniway
Washington Law Review
The title of this paper is "Legal Problems Relating to the OPA." [Office of Price Administration] Like most such titles, it was suggested before this paper was written. I then had in mind discussing certain contested issues which were of interest to me as an OPA lawyer, and which I assumed might also be of interest to you. However, as I began the review of statutes, orders, and decisions necessary for background, I became convinced that probably most practicing attorneys, busy as they must be with a multitude of matters unrelated to OPA, would find a collation and discussion of …
Wage Stabilization, Harold A. Seering
Wage Stabilization, Harold A. Seering
Washington Law Review
In the course of this discussion I do not feel it incumbent upon me to argue the case of wage stabilization. It is one of the facts of our war-time economy and whether we agree with its basic philosophy or not we must live with it. As I see it, the chief function of this discussion is to highlight the wage stabilization program so that your task as practicing attorneys who are frequently faced with wage stabilization problems will be made easier. In the measure which I can accomplish that result our task on the Twelfth Regional Board is also …
Federal Estate Taxation And The Wiener Case, George Donworth
Federal Estate Taxation And The Wiener Case, George Donworth
Washington Law Review
On February 28, 1944, the Supreme Court of the United States by a six to three decision dismissed for want of jurisdiction the case of Flournoy, Sheriff and Ex-Officio Tax Collector of Caddo Parish, Louisiana, against Samuel G. Wiener and others. The majority opinion was written by Chief Justice Stone, and there was a dissenting opinion by Justice Frankfurter in which Justices Roberts and Jackson concurred. The dismissal naturally carries no intimation of the views of the Justices on the merits of the case which involved constitutional points of much importance, especially to property owners in the states where the …

The Twilight Zone—A New Theory Of Compensation For Maritime Workers, Frank C. Latcham
The Twilight Zone—A New Theory Of Compensation For Maritime Workers, Frank C. Latcham
Washington Law Review
Petitioner's husband, a structural steel worker, was drowned in the Snohomish river while employed by an engineering company engaged in dismantling a drawbridge which spanned the river. The company was a contributor to the Workmen's Compensation Fund of the State of Washington. A part of the task was to cut steel from the bridge and move it about 250 feet away for storage. The steel when cut from the bridge was lowered to a barge by derrick, and when loaded, the barge was to be towed by a tug, hauled by cable, or, if the current made it necessary, both …

George Turner, A Character From Plutarch [Part 2], Claudius O. Johnson
George Turner, A Character From Plutarch [Part 2], Claudius O. Johnson
Washington Law Review
The Judge who for nearly fifty years was one of the leading citizens of the State of Washington always looked the part. He was about six feet tall and weighed approximately 175 pounds. His hair was very dark and abundant until late middle age, when it grayed and thinned, but it never entirely disappeared. His brown eyes often carried a merry twinkle when he greeted a friend or engaged in conversation, and when he was aroused to anger they might "look a hole through" the object of his wrath. The nose was fine, straight, and well proportioned. A conventional mustache …
Improving The Administration Of Justice In Traffic Courts, James W. Hodson
Improving The Administration Of Justice In Traffic Courts, James W. Hodson
Washington Law Review
It is high time that the bar should give careful thought to that part of the traffic enforcement problem which is legal and judicial. It is time to examine the fundamental theory of traffic law, the reason for the existence of such a body of law, and to ask whether it is being administered in tribunals equipped with proper facilities and adequate knowledge. It is time to inquire what is the purpose of traffic law, and whether its administration is such as to help serve that purpose. Such inquiry will reveal some strange and disturbing facts.
