The Illinois Ten-Hour Labor Law For Women, Andrew Alexander Bruce Nov 1909

The Illinois Ten-Hour Labor Law For Women, Andrew Alexander Bruce

Michigan Law Review

There are few cases before the American courts today which are of more significance than that which has recently been brought in the Illinois courts by William E. Ritchie of Chicago and which seeks "to enjoin the prosecuting officers of the state from enforcing the provisions of the so-called Women's' Ten-Hour Labor Law. The case of course involves the somewhat mooted question as to whether the remedy in such cases, if remedy there be at all, is by injunction, or whether the slower and more unsatisfactory procedure of a writ of error is not technically demanded, but this question is …

The Commerce Clause, And Taxation Of Gross Receipts And Of "Intangible Property.", Frederick H. Cooke Nov 1909

The Commerce Clause, And Taxation Of Gross Receipts And Of "Intangible Property.", Frederick H. Cooke

Michigan Law Review

The decision in Galveston, Harrisburg &c. Ry. Co. v. Texas curiously, perhaps even painfully, illustrates the confusion that has resulted from the establishment by the Supreme Court of what seem to me to be incompatible rules of taxation. As is well understood, the commerce clause of the Federal Constitution imposes certain restrictions upon action under the authority of a State. That is to say, it is a general rule that has been frequently applied, that no restriction by way of prohibition or otherwise may be validly imposed under the authority of a State upon transportation within the scope of the …

The Anthracite Coal Industry And The Busness Affected With A Public Interest, Andrew Alexander Bruce Jun 1909

The Anthracite Coal Industry And The Busness Affected With A Public Interest, Andrew Alexander Bruce

Michigan Law Review

The constitutions, state and federal, do not anywhere guarantee any absolute property rights nor right to liberty. The guarantee is merely that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty and property without due process of law. The right to liberty and property was never absolute under the English law, and the American constitutions have never been construed as going further than guaranteeing the continuance of the rights which existed at the time of their adoption.

The Supreme Court And The Fourteenth Amendment, Edward S. Corwin Jun 1909

The Supreme Court And The Fourteenth Amendment, Edward S. Corwin

Michigan Law Review

It was formerly the wont of legal writers to regard court decisions in much the same way as the mathematician regards the x of an algebraic equation: given the facts of the case and the existing law, the outcome was inevitable. This unhistorical standpoint has now been largely abandoned. Not only is it admitted that judges in finding the law act not as automata, as mere adding machines, but creatively, but also that the considerations which determine their decisions, far from resting exclusively upon a narrowly syllogistic basis, often repose very immediately upon concrete and vital notions of what is …

International Arbitration, Joseph B. Moore May 1909

International Arbitration, Joseph B. Moore

Michigan Law Review

The history of the race whether considered as one of individuals or as nations has been one of struggle. Did one individual fancy another had done him a wrong, he proceeded to right that wrong himself by the exercise of force. From the day when Cain killed his brother Abel, for many centuries contests between individuals were settled, not as justice dictated, but by brute force. The result was a disorderly condition of society unfavorable to peaceful conditions. In the evolution of the race, when men differed, instead of attempting to settle their differences by force, tribunals were brought into …

Economic Aspects Of The Law Of Master And Servant, In Its Relation To Industrial Accidents, Clarence A. Lightner Apr 1909

Economic Aspects Of The Law Of Master And Servant, In Its Relation To Industrial Accidents, Clarence A. Lightner

Michigan Law Review

We hear it said frequently that the relations between master and servant have completely altered during the past century and that, due to the introduction of machinery, workmen are much more frequently and more seriously injured than formerly. In fact, these statements have become trite. It takes an article, such as that written by Arthur B. Reeve, in the February, 1907, number of Charities and the Commons, entitled "The Death Roll of Industry," to bring to our minds what these statements actually mean; to impress us with the seriousness of present conditions. Although statistics upon the matter are not as …

Mutuality Of Options, R. T. Holland Apr 1909

Mutuality Of Options, R. T. Holland

Michigan Law Review

In spite of the fact that options, so-called, have been in use for many years, it is surprising to find that the law is still somewhat unsettled, and that courts frequently express doubt as to their validity at this late day. The main difficulty with this form of contract seems to be an apparent lack of mutuality, and even when sustained, they have, in many cases, been treated as exceptions to the rule that mutuality must be present in all contracts.

National Sovereignty, S. S. Gregory Mar 1909

National Sovereignty, S. S. Gregory

Michigan Law Review

The growth and development of our country and its marvelous progress in every direction have been dwelt upon so constantly in what our critics characterize as a spirit of boastfulness and over­ weening national self-conceit, that almost any reference to this stupendous theme seems trite and commonplace. If we compare our country as it existed when the Federal Constitution was adopted, in extent of territory, in population and in wealth, with our present situation, the retrospect is astounding and overwhelming. It is not my purpose to rehearse the epic story of this mighty nation, inspiring and exalting as it is. …
