The Present Status Of Multiple Taxation Of Intangible Property, Robert C. Brown
The Present Status Of Multiple Taxation Of Intangible Property, Robert C. Brown
Michigan Law Review
The decision by the Supreme Court in 1932 of the case of First National Bank of Boston v. Maine represented the culmination of a fairly brief but apparently decisive effort by that Court substantially to do away with the taxation of intangible property by more than one state. Successive decisions within the three years previous had sought to do away with such taxation of debts ( no matter how evidenced) by more than one state; and First National Bank v. Maine laid down the same rule for corporate stock.

The New Schoolmaster In Finance, Hiram L. Jome
Michigan Law Review
The purpose of this article is to present the attitude and views of the Securities and Exchange Commission on various financial problems. Several phases of the commission's thinking are in the writer's opinion extreme and questionable, or even unsound. Its actions have not always been consistent with its official views. Since the writer's purpose, however, has been merely to describe and not to criticize, no attempt has been made to appraise the work of the commission.

Public Officers - Liability Of Federal Officers For Quasi-Judlcial Acts, Arthur M. Hoffeins
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff sought to withdraw a registration statement which he had filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Michigan Law Review
Testator died in 1903, and the executors turned over the residue of his estate to themselves as testamentary trustees in 1905. In 1923, pursuant to the will, trustees delivered part of the original trust property, together with other property purchased with trust funds, to plaintiff, the equitable remainderman under the trust. In 1930 plaintiff sold some of the securities which had constituted the corpus of the trust. In determining the cost basis for the capital gains tax on this transaction, plaintiff claimed that the market value on the date when the trustees delivered the property to him in 1923 should …
