Constitutional Law-Delegation Of Legislative Power - Utah Milk Control Act, Edward S. Biggar

Michigan Law Review

The Utah Milk Control Act declared the necessity of stabilizing the production and distribution of market milk, for the purpose of insuring "a continuous and adequate supply of pure, wholesome milk." The state board of agriculture was authorized to fix prices and regulate the surplus of milk in particular marketing areas. Provision was made for public hearings to precede the board's issuance of regulatory orders.

There was no requirement that the orders promulgated contain any specific provisions. Pursuant …

Carriers - Interstate Commerce - Stockyard A Common Carrier, John L. Rubsam

Constitutional Law - Delegation Of Legislative Power - Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act, Edward S. Biggar Feb 1940

Constitutional Law - Delegation Of Legislative Power - Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act, Edward S. Biggar

Michigan Law Review

The declared policy of the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 was to raise the purchasing power of agricultural commodities and, at the same time, to protect the interest of the consumer. The Secretary of Agriculture was empowered to issue orders which, in his belief, based upon a consideration of evidence introduced at a public hearing, would tend to effectuate this policy. Certain minimum requirements as to the provisions of the orders were imposed. For any order to be effective, it must have been approved by a proportion of the producers of the commodity concerned. Pursuant to the provisions of …

Constitutional Law - Equal Protection Of The Laws - Discrimination Against Transients Vending Purchased Produce, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

A Minneapolis ordinance required transient dealers in farm produce to procure a license, but exempted farmers selling their own produce. The appellant was fined for selling butter without the necessary transient merchant license as provided by the ordinance. On appeal, appellant contended that the ordinance was unconstitutional because of class discrimination since (1) sellers in established places of business paid one type of fee while the transients paid another, and (2) farmers selling produce grown by themselves were exempt while other transients were required to pay a fee and furnish bond. Held, that the ordinance was unconstitutional because the …
