Federal Incorporation, Myron W. Watkins
Federal Incorporation, Myron W. Watkins
Michigan Law Review
The course of development which rate regulation in general in this country passed through is well known. It may be briefly stated as follows: in the early cases it was held that when a state legislature prescribed a scale of maximum charges for a business affected with a public interest they substituted their will for the common law rule of reasonableness, and their determinations were held final and conclusive. This view was gradually modified so as to place a limitation upon the power of the law-making body in accordance with the view that the "use and income of property, as …
Referendum As Applied To Proposed Amendments Of The Federal Constitution, Ralph W. Aigler
Referendum As Applied To Proposed Amendments Of The Federal Constitution, Ralph W. Aigler
Articles
That various aspects of the fight against the National Prohibition (the i8th) Amendment would result in litigation was to be expected. The attack at present seem& to be based on the use of the provisions for referendum found in a dozen or more of the states the votes of which went to make up the necessary three-fourths. Three very recent decisions or expressions of opinion by state courts of last resort are in this respect extremely interesting.
Book Reviews, Henry M. Bates
Book Reviews, Henry M. Bates
Michigan Law Review
This little book makes no pretense of exhaustive, scholarly treatment. It is without notes, citation of cases or authorities, or index; nevertheless it is a work which could be read with interest and benefit by every thoughtful citizen. The purpose of the author is to show the enormous expansion of federal power and actual control, a development, as Mr. West says, which was inevitable if "We the People of the United States" were to become a nation or long endure even as a union of states. But the conditions and circumstances which have produced this extraordinary accretion of power to …
Federal Incorporation, Myron W. Watkins
Federal Incorporation, Myron W. Watkins
Michigan Law Review
We have traced in the foregoing part the principal cases bearing directly upon the federal power of incorporation. To gain a just perspective of the attitude the court may take upon the constitutionality of an act requiring uniform federal incorporation of all businesses engaged in interstate commerce it is necessary to complete our review by an examination of the trend of the court's decisions involving other portions of the field of commerce regulation. The construction placed upon acts exerting other forms of regulation will not be so conclusive to our inquiry as the adjudication of the cases reviewed in the …
Federal Incorporation, Myron W. Watkins
Federal Incorporation, Myron W. Watkins
Michigan Law Review
Since the beginning of our national history the Constitution, which is essentially the source of the law rather than its framework, has with more or less promptitude fulfilled the function of sanctioning new rules of action which will permit a fairly symmetrical institutional development in the face of the changing conditions of the environment in which the people live and think and act. Always the habits of the people are changing, always the situation facts are being modified, and the Constitution in its widest and truest meaning but provides the means whereby thru this flux the body of the people …
Coercing A State To Pay A Judgement Virginia V West Virginia, Thomas Reed Powell
Coercing A State To Pay A Judgement Virginia V West Virginia, Thomas Reed Powell
Michigan Law Review
The Eleventh Amendment to the Federal Constitution postponed for over a century the settlement of the question whether a state of the United States can be coerced to pay a money judgment rendered against it in the Supreme Court of the United States. This it did by postponing the rendition of money judgments against a state. In 1793, it will be remembered, Chisholm v. Georgi4 had held that the provisions of Article III of the Constitution, extending the federal judicial power "to controversies * * * between a state and citizens of another state," and giving the Supreme Court original …
Child Labor Law Case, Commerce Power Of Congress And Reserved Powers Of The States, Henry M. Bates
Child Labor Law Case, Commerce Power Of Congress And Reserved Powers Of The States, Henry M. Bates
Articles
The decision in the Child Labor Law case, Hammer v. Dagenhart, - U. S. -, 62 L. ed. -, decided June 3, 1918, would have caused much less surprise twenty-five years ago than it did when announced last June, for it is based upon two constitutional provisions concerning which the much wider and more varied experience of the last quarter century had developed theories, better defined and sounder than those of the earlier period. Those two provisions are the Tenth Amendment regarding the powers reserved to the States and the Commerce Clause. There has been an astonishing amount of faulty …
Full Faith And Credit And Jurisdiction, Willard T. Barbour
Full Faith And Credit And Jurisdiction, Willard T. Barbour
Articles
The judgment of a sister state, when assailed by collateral attack, is often said to occupy a position intermediate between foreign and domestic judgments. Though the older American cases were inclined to examine into the merits of any foreign judgment, the present tendency is toward the adoption of the English view according to which a foreign judgment may be attacked collaterally only for want of jurisdiction or fraud. Dicey, Conflict of Laws (ed. 2) Ch. XVII; see note to Tremblay v. Aetna Life Insurance Co., 97 Me. 547, in 94 Am. St. Rep. 521, 538. But whereas any statement of …

Supreme Court's Theory Of A Direct Tax, J H. Riddle
Supreme Court's Theory Of A Direct Tax, J H. Riddle
Michigan Law Review
The decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Pollock case of 1895 was the beginning of an attempt on the part of the court to formulate a new definition of a direct tax, and since that time in every case which has called for a decision as to whether a particular tax was a direct tax the court has reverted to and tried to harmonize its decision with the reasoning set forth in the Pollock case. This decision overturned a fairly definite and universally accepted definition of a direct tax which had existed for nearly a century. In …
Interpretation Of The Eleventh Amendment, Leroy G. Pilling
Interpretation Of The Eleventh Amendment, Leroy G. Pilling
Michigan Law Review
The American Constitution may be compared to an organism with a high nervous development that enables it to adapt itself to changes. in its environment or even to new environments. As such an organism is the result of evolution, so is our Federal Constitution the product of centuries of human experience in the science of government. Probably most of the great political philosophers of all ages have donated their mite to the finished product. To MONTESQUIEU we owe in part, at least, our constitutional doctrine of the separation of powers.
Reasonable Rates, Henry Hull
Reasonable Rates, Henry Hull
Michigan Law Review
The principles underlying the decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission are, for the most part, admittedly sound principles, and their number is not inordinately great. But to lawyers, and students of law, the application of these principles seems, in casual reading, to be made as whim or fancy dictates. It is a frequent complaint of the lawyer that there is no law in rate decisions.

Michigan Law Review
Safeguarding the Criminal Defendant - Every now and then a new attack is made somewhere in the United States upon the rule prohibiting comment before the jury upon the fact that the defendant in a criminal case has not testified as a witness in his own behalf. At the present time an effort of this kind is being made in the Michigan legislature, and the introduction of the bill drew quite a little storm of protest from the State press as a dangerous inroad upon our ancient guarantees of personal liberty and security. In fact, however, it directly touches nothing …
Extension Of Judicial Review In New York, Edward S. Corwin
Extension Of Judicial Review In New York, Edward S. Corwin
Michigan Law Review
There are several reasons why it should be worth while to investigate the operation of the most unique of American governmental institutions in the most important state of the Union. For one thing, in the person of Chancellor KZN" New York furnished one of the founders of American Constitutional Law, while at the same time it was KzNT's fame that early gave New York decisions the importance they still retain in great part in the field of citation and precedent. Again it was YNT'S influence that inclined the fresh shoot of constitutional jurisprudence in New York in a conservative direction, …
Carmack Amendment In The State Courts, Wayland H. Sanford
Carmack Amendment In The State Courts, Wayland H. Sanford
Michigan Law Review
Prior to the leading case of Adams Express Co. v. Croninger,'- decided January 6th, 1913, there was much diversity in the decisions of the state courts as to the validity of contracts between shippers and carriers limiting the amount of the carrier's liability for injuries to goods shipped. Such limitations were held valid in some states, but invalid in others, and in some were declared invalid by statutes or constitutional provisions.2 State rules were applied to interstate as well as intrastate shipments, it being supposed that Congress had not legislated upon the subject. The CARMACK AmlNDVNT of i9o6s provided that …

The Scope Of The Mann Act, Ralph W. Aigler
Articles
As was to be expected in view of the well-settled doctrine of the Supreme Court that the constitutional grant of power to regulate interstate commerce includes power of control over transportation of persons as well as property, it was held in Hoke v. United States, 227 U. S. 308, 57 L. Ed. 523, 33 Sup. Ct. 281, that the WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC ACT of 1910 (36 Stat. 825), usually referred to as the MANN ACT, was constitutional. State legislation covering the same ground, it has been held, has been displaced. State v. Harper, 48 Mont. 456, 138 Pac. 495.

Constitutionality Of Segregation Ordinances, John B. Waite
Articles
The effort of various southern states to segregate white persons and colored ones into mutually exclusive residential districts has received a final quietus, unless the Supreme Court of the United States shall reverse itself, by the decision in Buchanan v. Warley, handed down November 5, 1917. The suit in this case was for specific performance of a contract to buy land. The contract expressly stipulated that the buyer, a colored man, was not to be held to his purchase unless he had "the right under the laws of the state of Kentucky and the city of Louisville to ocupy said …

In Southern Pacific Company v. Jensen, 37 Sup. Ct. -, decided May 21, 1917, the Supreme Court announces a decision in some respects of far reaching importance. It was held therein, Mr. Justice HOLMEs dissenting, that the WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION ACT of the State of New York did not support an award to the widow and children of a workman killed on board a ship of the Company while at the pier in New York City. Clearly the terms of the New York act covered the case, unless the fact that the accident occurred on navigable waters of the United States …

Changing Legal Order, Floyd R. Mechem
Michigan Law Review
I must, I suppose, be considered a dull age which does not have its loyal chronicler who arises to affirm that it is the greatest and most important age in the history of the world. There have been many great periods. Some of them doubtless antedate historic times. Many of these ages doubtless were unconscious of their own importance. Picture to yourself the time when primitive man first learned to make and control a fire. How it differentiated him from all other animals! Not even yet, so far as I am aware, does even the most advanced non-human animal build …

On August 7th, 1914, three days after Great Britain had dedared war, a momentous statute, called the Deference of the Realm Act, was passed through the House of Commons with lightning speed, without a word of protest, in that spirit of decision and confidence which has marked the war measures of this Parliament.
