Effect Of Foreign Chattel Mortages Upon The Rights Of Subsequent Purchasers And Creditors, Marion Griffin
Effect Of Foreign Chattel Mortages Upon The Rights Of Subsequent Purchasers And Creditors, Marion Griffin
Michigan Law Review
Should the title or lien of a foreign mortgagee be protected against the claims of creditors and innocent purchasers in the state to which the mortgaged property is removed? It is sometimes said that the chattel mortgage creates a mere lien by the law of the state where made, which is not entitled to recognition in any other state. The weight of authority is otherwise. It is a transfer of the, property itself as a security for the debt. There are some states in which a mortgage of personal property creates no title in the mortgagee, but a mere lien; …
The Evasion Of State Laws By Mail Order Insurance Companies, John G. Park
The Evasion Of State Laws By Mail Order Insurance Companies, John G. Park
Michigan Law Review
One of the commercial phenomena of this age has been the unprecedented development of the mail order industry. Mammoth mercantile establishments have arisen which never see their customers face to face, have no soliciting agents, and sell goods exclusively by means of the modest "catalogue," the postage stamp and the unwearied effort of the Post Office Department. Whether the story of the genial citizen who is said to have acquired a mail order wife be true or false, the popularity of the mail order scheme cannot be gainsaid.

Constitutionality Of The Indiana Anti-Cigarette Law, Thomas A. Sims
Michigan Law Review
The recent act of the Indiana General Assembly, known as the "Indiana Anti-Cigarette Law," is the third act of its kind to be passed by a state legislature. In 1896 the State of Iowa enacted a similar law, and the year following, Tennessee did the same. In the years intervening between these acts and the present act similar bills have been introduced in various legislatures over the country but none of them has passed. The passage of the act by the Indiana Assembly has, however, seemingly reawakened the sentiment in favor of such legislation, and in several of the states …

War Arbitration And Peace, William Perry Rogers
Michigan Law Review
In examining any question which pertains to the welfare of humanity there are two prominent view points from which to start. One is that of the individual being; the isolated man; the unit of society. The other is that of the mass of mankind; the people as a whole; the corporate organization of states and nations. There are those who believe in a God of nations. They believe He guides their destinies in perils of battle, and in great and dangerous emergencies; but they insist that He has little or nothing to do with the affairs of the individual. Conversely, …

Consideration V Causa In Roman-American Law, Joseph H. Drake

In the case of Mtembre v. Webster, decided recently (19o4) in the Supreme Court of Cape Colony, South Africa, the court (De VILLIERS, J.) says that the causa of Roman-Dutch Law* (oorsaak-German Ursache) has become for all practical purposes equivalent to the valuable consideration of the Common Law., The court says further, 'I can not find that in practice any gratuitous promises except donations-as to which there are especial rules were ever enforced by law.' Sir Frederick Pollock in commenting on this case says, "The power of the Common Law to impose its conceptions on foreign systems when opportunities occur …

Uniform State Laws Governing Negotiable Documents Of Title, Francis B. James
Michigan Law Review
Our forefathers, not foreseeing that the States would some day become one country for commercial purposes, failed to vest in Congress power to regulate all commerce, but limited that body to such as was interstate or foreign. An unexpected (and by many now believed erroneous) decision by the Supreme Court of the United States1 in 1869, that a contract between citizens of different states did not constitute interstate commerce, checked the growth of that unity of law so convenient in the development of industries, national in character. For one hundred years, from 1789, when the Constitution was adopted, to 1890, …

Marriage And Divorce In State And Church, Benjamin Brewster
Marriage And Divorce In State And Church, Benjamin Brewster
Michigan Law Review
When, in 1831, the French philosopher De Tocqueville visited America, he was impressed with the stability of the marriage relation. In his great work, "Democracy in America," he thus sums up the results of his observations: "There is certainly no country in the world where the tie of marriage is so much respected as in America, or where conjugal happiness is more highly or worthily appreciated." And this acute and discerning reasoner makes a further reflection, from his stand-point as one interested in the maintenance of order and stability in the state: "Agitated by the tumultuous passions which frequently disturb …

Removal Of Public Officers From Office For Cause, Ii, Alonzo H. Tuttle
Removal Of Public Officers From Office For Cause, Ii, Alonzo H. Tuttle
Michigan Law Review
We have seen by the great weight of authority that removal for cause requires notice, charges and a chance to defend. It remains for us to discuss the most difficult question of all. What is the nature of this power? Is it judicial or executive in character? The importance of this question is two-fold. 1. If executive in nature, the courts have no power to review it by the writ of certiorari. If judicial, they have. 2. If judicial, the question arises, is it constitutional to confer such a power on an executive officer? Upon the question whether the power …
Ecclsiastical Jurisdiction In England, Edwin Maxley
Ecclsiastical Jurisdiction In England, Edwin Maxley
Michigan Law Review
Previous to the invasion of William the Conqueror the ecclesiastical jurisdiction in England was not at all clearly defined. Under the protection, and, as protection implies jurisdiction, under the jurisdiction of the bishops were the following: sacred persons and sacred things. Among the former were included men in orders, monks and nuns; and among the latter: churches and church-yards, books and furniture of churches, sacraments, ecclesiastical and marital rituals. So far as can be found, there were not at that time any separate ecclesiastical courts. The bishops, with the assistance of archdeacons and deans, exercised their ecclesiastical jurisdiction through the …

Constitutional Limitations On Primary Election Legislation, Floyd R. Mechem

In determining what aspect of the general question I should discuss in the brief time available, it seemed to me desirable that I should confine my attention to the constitutional aspect of the matter, leaving the discussion of the practical workings of the various laws actually enacted to those who have had more opportunity to observe them. The constitutional side of the matter has already been very ably discussed by Professor Tuttle in MICHIGAN LAW REVIEW and I do not hope to add materially to what is there said, though certain of the questions may be approached in a somewhat …

Removal Of Public Officers From Office For Cause, I, Alonzo H. Tuttle
Michigan Law Review
Decidedly the most important and best considered debate in the history of Congress, is what Wm. Evarts calls the debate that took place in 1789 in the first session of Congress, under the Constitution, on the question of the nature of the power of the President to remove his appointees from office. The character of this debate is discussed elsewhere in this magazine." Suffice it to say that as a result it was decided then by Congress that under the Constitution the President has the absolute power of removal of all his appointees, without the assent of the Senate. This …
