Gas And Electricity In Interstate Commerce - Part Iii - State Taxation, Robert L. Howard
Gas And Electricity In Interstate Commerce - Part Iii - State Taxation, Robert L. Howard
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
During the past decade gas and electricity have become common subjects of taxation by the states, and a not inconsiderable volume of revenue is now being raised from levies upon their production, sale, transportation and consumption. The subjection to a general property tax of the facilities for producing and dealing in these commodities creates no problem of special interest for the present discussion. The same considerations are involved as in the similar application of such a tax to other types of property, and it has long been recognized that the mere fact of use in the conduct of interstate business …

Gas And Electricity In Interstate Commerce - Part Ii - Regulation Of Rates And Service, Robert L. Howard
Gas And Electricity In Interstate Commerce - Part Ii - Regulation Of Rates And Service, Robert L. Howard
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
The control of gas and electric rates and service by state public service commissions has, for many years, been a common phenomenon. In so far as interstate commerce in these commodities is involved, so as to be of special interest for the present discussion, the matter is of much more recent development. That the transmission of gas' and electric light and power current2 from one state to another is a transaction in interstate commerce is now definitely well established, although as to the latter, it is not a determination of very long standing.'
Gas And Electricity In Interstate Commerce, Robert L. Howard
Gas And Electricity In Interstate Commerce, Robert L. Howard
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
There is perhaps no other concept in the whole field of governmental or constitutional jurisprudence today of more immediate practical significance than that of interstate commerce. In rather striking contrast with conditions of an earlier day, interstate commerce has come to be very closely related to everyday life in a great variety of ways. Regulations now imposed in the name of interstate commerce affect practically every mouthful of food we eat, every article of clothing we wear, everything we buy or sell as well as the fuel with which we cook our food or heat our homes, to mention only …
N. R. A. Legislation Before The Courts, William Collinson
N. R. A. Legislation Before The Courts, William Collinson
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
Immediately after the National Industrial Recovery Act became effective it became by far the most popular subject for comment by most law periodical writers. At least ninety articles concerning some or all phases of the Act have appeared in the law reviews of this country. Most of these articles were in the nature of prophecies, either direct or indirect, as to the reception which would be accorded the Act by the courts in the legal controversies which it was sure to provoke. Unfortunately, the oracular powers of those authors cannot yet be praised nor condemned, since most of the questions …
Ownership Of Automobile As Prima Facie Evidence Of Responsibility For Negligence Of Person Operating It, Conly Purcell
Ownership Of Automobile As Prima Facie Evidence Of Responsibility For Negligence Of Person Operating It, Conly Purcell
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
Generally speaking, absent statutory change, an owner of an automobile is responsible for injuries resulting from its negligent operation by another, only if it is shown that, at the time of the injury, the relationship of principal and agent or master and servant existed between the owner and the operator, and that the operator was then acting in the scope of his employment. Ordinary human experience and knowledge show clearly that in the great majority of cases automobiles are operated by their owners or by some servant or agent on the owner's business. It is equally apparent that in the …

Doctrine Of Lis Pendens In Legal Actions Affecting Land, The, Gardner Smith
Doctrine Of Lis Pendens In Legal Actions Affecting Land, The, Gardner Smith
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
From conversations which the writer has had with various members of the Bar, including title attorneys, there seems to be a general belief that purchasers of land from a party to a pending suit affecting it, are not charged with constructive knowledge of such suit unless a notice of its pendency is filed in the office of the Recorder of Deeds, as provided by Section 3155, R. S. Mo. 1929. This, however, is not the case except as to the limited character of actions mentioned in this section. As will be pointed out, there are many types of real actions …
Mortgages - Priorities Between Mortgages And Mechanics' Liens, Robert S. Eastin
Mortgages - Priorities Between Mortgages And Mechanics' Liens, Robert S. Eastin
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
Since they are of statutory origin, mechanics' liens must be classified and treated upon a different basis than other common liens, which owe at least a large part of their existence to the rules of the common law and equity. The rules governing the priorities of such liens are in many respects similar to those followed with regard to mortgages and other contractual liens. However, for various reasons, the rules as to, the priorities given to mechanics liens are sufficiently different to bear separate study. It is the purpose of this note to inquire into the particular question of priorities …
