Constitutional Law - Interstate Commerce - Tax On Gasoline Imported From Another State And Stored For Local Consumption
Michigan Law Review
The South Carolina Tax Act of 1930 levied a "license" tax of six cents per gallon on all persons who imported gasoline into South Carolina and kept it in storage there for purposes of local consumption, provided such gasoline had not already been subjected to the payment of license taxes upon the sale thereof by local dealers according to the gasoline tax acts of 1925 and 1929. The plaintiff imported gasoline from dealers outside the State, storing the gasoline in its tanks and using it for the purposes of its bleachery business. Held, that the 1930 Tax Act was …
Carriers-Power Of The Interstate Commerce Commission To Award Reparation On Rates Formerly Fixed As Reasonable
Michigan Law Review
In 1921 the Interstate Commerce Commission fixed a rate of 96.5 cents per cwt. as the maximum reasonable rate for the future on sugar between Phoenix, Arizona, and all points in California. In a subsequent attack on rates in 1925, the Commission found reasonable a still lower rate of 73 and 71 cents per cwt. from Northern and from Southern California, respectively, and awarded reparation for the amount by which the rates actually charged exceeded the new rates over a period from 1923 to 1925. From this order the carrier appealed on the ground that the Commission was precluded from …

Intoxicating Liquors-Statutory Construction-Forfeiture Of Conveyance
Michigan Law Review
Cars in which liquor was imported were seized by the government. The operators were prosecuted for violation of the customs laws, and the government attempted to declare forfeiture of the cars under the customs laws. Lienors whose rights are not recognized under these laws intervened and claimed that forfeiture could be declared only under the National Prohibition Act which saves the rights of lienors. Held, in General Motors Acceptance Corp. v. United States, that forfeiture may be declared either under customs laws or the National Prohibition Act.

Bulk Sales Laws: A Study In Statutory Interpretation, Thomas Clifford Billig, Kingsley R. Smith
West Virginia Law Review
This article is the second of a series which proposes to deal with several aspects of bulk sales legislation. The first paper, entitled "Bulk Sales Laws; A Study in Economic Adjustment" appeared in the November, 1928 issue of the University of Pennsylvania Law Review. That discussion considered three phases of the bulk sales problem: (1) the inability of the American statutory successors of 13 Elizabeth to meet the legal needs of the creditor class when a defrauding merchant sold out in bulk his stock of unpaid for goods to a bona fide purchaser for value;(2) the campaign waged by the …

Carriers - Allocation Of Rate Charges On Cost Basis

In a proceeding in equity to secure the annulment of an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission fixing the cost of icing, for shipments of poultry and dairy products originating in the six western states, on the "cost of ice" basis already existing in the other forty-two states, it was held that the rate is reasonable if it furnishes reasonable and adequate return for service rendered, and such return must pay cost of that service as distinguished from all other service, plus reasonable profit thereon; but that, in arriving at this "cost of ice" rate, the Interstate Commerce Commission was …

Public Utilities - Private Carrier Cannot Be Made A Common Carrier By Legislative Fiat
Michigan Law Review
The appellant, a private carrier for hire, was arrested for operation of motor vehicles upon the state highways without having obtained a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the state railroad commission and without having paid the mileage tax required by the state statute. This statute also gave the commission power to fix and approve rates and schedules, and otherwise regulate carriers. It further stated that, if any of its provisions were held to be unconstitutional, the validity of the remaining portions should be unaffected. Laws of Florida, 1929, c. 13700. In view of this latter provision, the state …

The plaintiff purchased a ticket for passage on the defendant's ferry and drove his car aboard. During transit, and through no negligence on the part of the defendant, the boat ran upon a stone piling and sank.
