Utilization Of State Commissioners In The Administration Of The Federal Motor Carrier Act, Paul G. Kauper
Utilization Of State Commissioners In The Administration Of The Federal Motor Carrier Act, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
The problem of securing effective governmental regulation of economic interests that overlap state boundary lines, while at the same time curbing the growth of a centralized bureaucracy and preventing the disintegration of local government, becomes daily more disturbing. For this reason the passage of the Motor Carrier Act in the closing days of the 74th Congress and its approval by the President on August 9, 1935, was an event of singular importance for students of American governmental administration. Important as the legislation is in its substantive aspects, it is equally noteworthy because of its administrative provisions. The striking feature of …

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 …

Criminal Law And Procedure -Automobiles - Constitutional Law-Criminal Liability Of Owner Of Automobile
Michigan Law Review
The recent decision of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts in the case of Commonwealth v. Ober has brought to the fore a serious administrative problem arising out of the enforcement of traffic regulations. The problem is particularly acute in the illegal parking cases. Here it is usually impossible for the policeman to do more than tag the car, take down its registration number, and institute proceedings against the registered owner. The difficulty also often occurs in many other situations such as driving through red lights or stop streets where the offense is observed by a patrolman standing near by …
Cooperation Between The Interstate Commerce Commission And The State Commissions In Railroad Regulation, Martin L. Lindahl
Cooperation Between The Interstate Commerce Commission And The State Commissions In Railroad Regulation, Martin L. Lindahl
Michigan Law Review
Cooperation between the Interstate Commerce Commission and the state commissions in railroad regulation has been developed to increase the effectiveness of public control under our dual regulatory system. The division of power between federal and state governments, based upon the traditional distinction between interstate and intrastate commerce, has led to a multitude of diverse and conflicting statutes and administrative orders applicable to the same set of transportation agencies. In large measure the problem of dual control has been solved by giving to the federal government a virtually complete occupancy of the fields of rate, finance, and service regulation of interstate …

Michigan Law Review
A traffic ordinance of the city of Boston provided, "No person shall allow, permit, or suffer any vehicle registered in his name to stand or park in any street . . . in violation of any of the rules and regulations of the Traffic Commission of the City of Boston." Under this ordinance defendant, the registered owner of a car, was convicted of overtime parking without any evidence that she herself had parked the vehicle. Defendant appealed.
