An Experiment In Equalization, And Its Result, William Carpenter
An Experiment In Equalization, And Its Result, William Carpenter
Michigan Law Review
The legislature of the State of Michigan at its latest session, attempted to provide a remedy for the injustice often occasioned by the boards of supervisors in equalizing the assessment rolls of the several townships, wards and cities of their respective counties. For that purpose it passed Act No.292 of the laws of 19O9 amending secs. 34 and 37 of the general tax law. The act provides that any supervisor of any township or city who considers his township or city aggrieved by the action of the board of which he is a member, in equalizing the valuation of the …

Some Leading Principles Of Chinese Law, Gustavus Ohlinger
Some Leading Principles Of Chinese Law, Gustavus Ohlinger
Michigan Law Review
It has frequently been remarked that of all nations, China approaches most nearly the Jeffersonian ideal in being the least governed. To a greater extent than any other people, the Chinese manage their own affairs. The usages of trade are defined by the various commercial guilds-organizations which have acquired a prestige and influence without parallel in any other country. Commercial disputes are submitted to these bodies and by them are settled promptly, finally, and usually satisfactorily. Matters of currency and exchange are determined by the powerful bankers' guild. Physicians, fortune-tellers, geomancers and even mendicants, have their organizations through which the …

Some Questions In Connection With State Rate Regulation, Guy A. Miller
Michigan Law Review
There are probably few questions of greater interest, both present and future, than those which concern the relations between corporations performing the so-called public services on the one hand, and their immediate patrons and the general public on the other. These questions relate to the quality and safety of the services rendered, to the rights of all members of the public to receive service without discrimination, and to the charges which may be exacted for those services. To a great extent they involve matters of public policy and economics, rather than those which are strictly legal in nature, while even …

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

Mutuality Of Options, R. T. Holland
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.

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 …
The Position Of A Trustee In Bankruptcy With Reference To Unfiled Or Unrecorded Chattel Mortgages And Conditional Sale Contracts, Ralph W. Aigler
The Position Of A Trustee In Bankruptcy With Reference To Unfiled Or Unrecorded Chattel Mortgages And Conditional Sale Contracts, Ralph W. Aigler
Michigan Law Review
Since the enactment of the first bankruptcy act the courts have very frequently been called upon to consider the precise position of the trustee in bankruptcy, with reference to his ability to raise the question of the invalidity of transfers or liens made or created by the bankrupt prior to the proceedings in bankruptcy. The phase of this question indicated by the title of this article is possibly of more interest than the rest of the general subject, because of the changes, or to be more exact, the supposed changes, through which the law has passed. And if the law …

National Sovereignty, S. S. Gregory
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. …

An Organic Conception Of The Treaty-Making Power Vs. State Rights As Applicable To The United States, Charles Sumner Clancy
Michigan Law Review
When we talk of the State, its rights or its structures, we are necessarily led to the inquiry, "What do we mean by the State?" Beginning with the proposition that the State is a composite formed of individuals whose lives are shaped by the life of the whole, it necessarily follows that a perfect understanding of any particular State would involve a knowledge of the characteristics of the members who compose it. This of course is obviously impossible, but the theory underlying States generally is founded upon general human characteristics. So we may take as a basis the great truth …
Recovery Of Money Paid Under Mistake Of Law, William P. Rogers
Recovery Of Money Paid Under Mistake Of Law, William P. Rogers
Michigan Law Review
Few questions which come before the courts seem more difficult to settle than those growing out of the maxim, ignorantia juris non excusat. The fact that the most recent decisions bearing on the subject are as much at variance and as conflicting as those rendered more than a century ago, is the excuse, if not a justification, for this article. It is proposed, however, to examine only that phase of the subject found in this inquiry: "Can one recover from another money paid under mistake of law to which the payee is not entitled, and which he can not in …
