The Commerce Clause Of The Federal Constitution And Two Recent Cases Dealing With It, S. S. Gregory Apr 1907

The Commerce Clause Of The Federal Constitution And Two Recent Cases Dealing With It, S. S. Gregory

Michigan Law Review

In the historic case of M'Culloch v. Maryland, CHIEF Justice Marshall said, referring to the Federal Government: "This government is acknowledged by all to be one of enumerated powers. The principle that it can exercise only the powers granted to it, would seem too apparent to have required to be enforced by all those arguments which its enlightened friends, while it was depending before the people, found it necessary to urge. That principle is now universally admitted, but the question respecting the extent of the powers actually granted is perpetually arising and will probably continue to arise as long as …

Thomas Mcintyre Cooley, Jerome C. Knowlton

Michigan Law Review

In the early fifties, there were four young men practicing at the bar of the State of Michigan who became so influential during the formative period in the jurisprudence of the state that we cannot name one of them without thinking of the others. James V. Campbell, Isaac P. Christiancy, Thomas M. Cooley arid Benjamin F. Graves came from New York parentage and from New England stock. The three last name received their education in the primary schools and academies of New York. As young men seeking their future they came west and settled in different parts of this state. …

Monroe Doctrine Its Status, John F. Simmons Feb 1907

Monroe Doctrine Its Status, John F. Simmons

Michigan Law Review

In 1895. President Cleveland in his message to Congress in regard to what has come to be known as the "Venezuela affair" said the Monroe Doctrine "has its place in the code of international law as certainly and as securely as if it were specifically mentioned." To test the accuracy of this statement we must determine as closely as possible what the Monroe Doctrine is and what is the correct meaning of the term "code of international law." Having settled our definitions the issue will be clearly defined and its discussion possibly profitable.

The Standard Oil Fine, Horace Lafayette Wilgus

August 3, 1907, Judge Landis, in the United States District Court, for the Northern District of Illinois, sentenced the Standard Oil Co. to pay the largest fine ever inflicted upon any offender.1 The suit was an indictment on 1,903 counts for violations of the Elkins Rebate Law in receiving concessions on the movement of 1,903 cars of oil from Whiting, Indiana, to East St. Louis, Illinois, and from Chappell, Illinois, to St. Louis, Missouri, during the eighteen months between September I, 1903, and March 1, 1905. Four hundred and forty-one counts were withdrawn as not necessarily involved in this case. …

The American Bar Association's Meeting At Portland, Henry M. Bates Jan 1907

The American Bar Association's Meeting At Portland, Henry M. Bates

Articles

The meeting of the American Bar Association for 1907 was a notable one, both in respect of the attendance and in the importance of many of the matters discussed. Not only was the attendance unusually large, but the presence of many distinguished men from abroad who were delegates to the meetings of the International Law Association, held during the same week, added distinction to the gatherings. The meetings reflected significantly the discussion throughout the country upon the great legal and political questions which the changing conditions in the commercial and industrial world have brought so prominently before the nation during …

The Liability Of Charitable Corporations For The Torts Of Their Servants, Harry B. Hutchins Jan 1907

The Liability Of Charitable Corporations For The Torts Of Their Servants, Harry B. Hutchins

Articles

The Liability of Charitable Corporations for the Torts of their Servants.--This question was discussed quite fully in the last number of the REVIEW, pp. 552-559, under the title Liability of Hospitals for the Negligence of their Physicians and Nurses, particular attention being given to the reasons underlying the doctrine that charitable corporations are not liable for the negligence of their servants, provided proper care has been exercised in their selection, and to the limitations within which that doctrine should be confined. It was concluded that the true reason for the doctrine is not to be found, as many cases apparently …

James Valentine Campbell, Charles A. Kent

Michigan Law Review

The Campbell ancestors of Judge Campbell were, as the name shows, Scotch. The earliest one in this country, his grandfather, was Thomas Campbell, an officer in an Highland Regiment, who settled on the Hudson. His son, Henry M. Campbell, was born in Ulster County, New York, September 10th, 1783. In early manhood he removed to Buffalo. When the War of 1812 broke out, he joined the American army, and was made Captain of an artillery company. In October, 1812, he married Lois Bushnell, a member of a New England family. Her nephew, the Reverend Horace Bushnell, became a very distinguished …

What Is The Practice Of Medicine?, Harry B. Hutchins Jan 1907

What Is The Practice Of Medicine?, Harry B. Hutchins

Articles

In a popular sense, and as ordinarily understood the practice of medicine is the applying of medical or surgical agencies for the purpose of preventing, relieving, or curing disease, or aiding natural functions, or modifying or removing the results of physical injury. Stewart v. Raab, 55 Minn. 20, 56 N. W. Rep. 256. But in some relations, and for some purposes, the expression has a more extended meaning. This is to be found sometimes in statutory provisions, sometimes in the decisions of the courts upon questions involving the construction of the expression and sometimes in both. Medical acts not infrequently …

Some Contributions Of Psychology To The Conception Of Justice, James Tufts Dec 1906

Some Contributions Of Psychology To The Conception Of Justice, James Tufts

Michigan Law Review

The two general standpoints from which all attempts to define justice and rights proceed, are that of the individual and that of the social whole. From the standpoint of the individual, we have such principles as 'to every man according to his deserts,' or 'to every man according to his needs,' as well as the stubbornly surviving principle of natural rights, which is imbedded in our institutions even though discredited by philosophers. From the standpoint of society, we have the principle that justice means the determining of individual relations by the general order and the subordinating of individual to public …

Delegation Of Authority By An Agent, Floyd R. Mechem Dec 1906

Delegation Of Authority By An Agent, Floyd R. Mechem

Michigan Law Review

I. DELEGATUS NON POTEST DELEGARI.-The appointment of an agent in any particular case is made, as a rule, because he is supposed by his principal to have some fitness for the performance of the duties to be undertaken. In certain cases his appointment is owing to the fact that he is considered, to be especially and particularly fit. The undertaking demands judgment and discretion, which he is supposed to possess; or it requires the skill and learning of an expert, which he assumes to be; or personal force and influence are desirable, and these the agent is thought to be …

Constitutional And Legislative Limitations Of The Home Rule Charter In Minnesota, Charles P. Hall Nov 1906

Constitutional And Legislative Limitations Of The Home Rule Charter In Minnesota, Charles P. Hall

Michigan Law Review

I regret exceedingly that I am not able, in the scope of these observations, to include all the states of the American Union, where the home-rule charters have been permitted as a method of city government; but unfortunately my vision has not passed beyond the horizon of my own state, and the workings of the home­rule system in other states must be left as a subject for future study and comparison. With pardonable pride, however, it may be said that the State of Minnesota, while she has erred with her sister commonwealths in experimental over-legislation, has nevertheless recently placed upon …

Is One Claiming Title Under A Quitclaim Deed A Bona Fide Purchaser, L. W. Carr Jun 1906

Is One Claiming Title Under A Quitclaim Deed A Bona Fide Purchaser, L. W. Carr

Michigan Law Review

In considering this question two primary considerations are presented at the outset, (I) what is meant by a quitclaim deed, and (2) what constitutes a bona fide purchaser. The quitclaim, as used in the law of conveyancing in the United States, is ordinarily treated as analogous to the old English deed of release, but the latter could operate only when the vendee was already the owner of an estate in the land, while the former is recognized as an original conveyance. The usual operative words are "remise, release, and forever quit claim." Frequently a covenant against incumbrances by the grantor …

Doctrine Of The Federal Courts As To The Validity Of Irregular Municipal Bonds, Charles L. Dibble May 1906

Doctrine Of The Federal Courts As To The Validity Of Irregular Municipal Bonds, Charles L. Dibble

Michigan Law Review

The power to issue negotiable bonds is not identical with the power to become indebted, though usually concomitant with it; for municipal indebtedness may be incurred--by the issue of warrants or non-negotiable notes. The power to become indebted is not an inherent power of American municipalities. It is conferred by the state, either expressly, or by implication as being a necessary or reasonable agent in the execution of other powers expressly conferred; and the limits of the doctrine of implication are in dispute. But with the power to become indebted this paper is not concerned. Similarly the power to issue …
