The Corporation In The Street, Charles C. Dibble
The Corporation In The Street, Charles C. Dibble
Michigan Law Review
The modern street is not a simple roadway, but a complicated three-story structure in the use of which the general public, the city government, the abutting property owner and the licensed corporation are interested. Not often are streets so limited in capacity as the one in Frankfort, Kentucky, which was so narrow that the passage of a railroad train would have all but filled it, a condition which led the court to enjoin the construction of a track, though duly authorized. Generally there is room for all, and the use of the streets has been granted with the greatest liberality. …

The Execution Of Sealed Instruments By An Agent, Floyd R. Mechem
The Execution Of Sealed Instruments By An Agent, Floyd R. Mechem
Michigan Law Review
Purpose of this article--The manager of the execution of instruments under seal, such as deeds, bonds and other solemn writings, is of so much importance and has been so frequently discussed, as to merit the more extended treatment, which it is the purpose of this article to devote to it. The word "deed" herein is used to describe all it instruments under seal, and not merely conveyances of land. It is to be observed that the question here is not how authority to execute sealed instruments is to be conferred, but how such an authority is to be executed.
Limited Partnership In America And England, Francis M. Burdick
Limited Partnership In America And England, Francis M. Burdick
Michigan Law Review
At last Great Britain has legalized Limited Partnership. More than a quarter of a century ago, Sir Frederick Pollock called attention to the fact that the United Kingdom was almost the only civilized country of the world which had not adopted this institution. The remark was made in an address devoted to an explanation of a bill, which he had drafted, to cover the entire subject of partnership. Long before this, the economical advantages of limited partnership had been set forth by John Stuart Mill and other writers; and repeated attempts had been made to secure a statute legalizing this …

Since that time the members of the convention have been elected; and after four months of earnest work, the results of its labors have been presented to the people of Michigan in the proposed revised Constitution, which will be submitted for their approval or disapproval at the general election in November of the present year. It is proposed in this article to …

The Proposed Court Of Patent Appeals, Otto Raymond Barnett
Michigan Law Review
Experience has demonstrated that nowhere was the foresight and wisdom of the framers of the Federal Constitution more clearly shown than when they embodied in that instrument the provision that to encourage progress in science and the useful arts, Congress should have authority to secure to writers and inventors for limited times, exclusive rights to their productions. When the Federal Constitution was drafted, the manufacturing industries of this country were insignificant. Since then the industrial progress of the United States has been one of the marvels of the world's history and this progress and the supremacy of American manufacturers have …

The Rights And Remedies On Permitting, Diverting, Increasing And Obstructing The Natural Flow, John R. Rood
Michigan Law Review
It is evident that no one hard and fast rule could be applied to all cases, either in city or country, "without producing injustice and impolitic results. The needs and conditions in city and country are different. They usually differ widely in different parts of the same city. These considerations have induced the Supreme Court of New Hampshire to adopt the flexible rule, that: "In determining this question all the circumstances of the case would, of course, be considered; and among them the nature and importance of the improvements sought to be made, the extent of the interference with the …

Legal Ethics, Charles A. Kent
Legal Ethics, Charles A. Kent
Michigan Law Review
Legal ethics is a branch of general ethics. Some consideration of the latter is necessary to an understanding of the former. It is a fundamental fact that men generally, if not all sane men, distinguish certain courses of conduct as right and wrong; just as they say particular objects are beautiful and others ugly. They feel a duty to do some things and to refrain from others. If savages do not feel distinctly the sense of duty, at least they are indignant at certain conduct in their associates, and approve of other acts, on moral grounds. This sense of duty …

On February 1st, 1908, a bill was filed in the United States Circuit Court for the District of Utah by the government of the United States, against the Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad companies, and several individual defendants, under the Anti-Trust law. The principal defendant is the Union Pacific company, which is charged by the government with controlling or influencing the management of the other defendant corporations, in restraint of competition. The suit was brought at the direct …

Roman Law And Mohammedan Jurisprudence, Part 3, Theodore P. Ion
Michigan Law Review
After having, in a summary manner, reviewed the historical connection existing between the Roman and Mohammedan laws, and examined the social condition of their respective people, we now come to our last theme, namely, the comparison of their laws proper, which will show their similarity in more than one point. This examination-which will be preceded by an explanation of jurisprudence in both systems and an attempt to show the likeness of their respective jurisconsults-will be limited to certain subjects of personal law and contracts, and concluded with a few observations on judicial organization.

May Congress Levy Money Exactions, Designated "Taxes," Solely For The Purpose Of Destruction?, John Barker Waite
Michigan Law Review
The questions of taxation have furnished a cause of warfare, armed or wordy, since the meaning of government has been known. The possibility of our Constitution was due, superficially, to the imposition of a tax; its adoption, in great measure, to the absence of a tax, to the lack of a taxing power in the Confederation. Since the adoption of the Constitution with its grant of a taxing power, much of our legislative disagreement has centered on the interpretation of that grant. The case of McCray v. United States, opens up a comparatively untrammeled field of dispute. The basis of …

Is A Provision For The Initiative And Referendum Inconsistent With The Constitution Of The United States?, W. A. Coutts
Is A Provision For The Initiative And Referendum Inconsistent With The Constitution Of The United States?, W. A. Coutts
Michigan Law Review
We are told today that the Constitution of the United States forbids the adoption of the Initiative and the Referendum, as these involve such purely democratic principles as to be inconsistent with the republican form of government guaranteed by the fourth section of the fourth article of the Federal Constitution. The special interests that are opposed to the Initiative tell us that we must find some other cure for the evils at which it aims; that the Initiative is a purely democratic principle and, as such, it is forbidden by the fourth section of the fourth article of the Federal …

The Work Of The Second Hague Conference, W. F. Dodd
Michigan Law Review
The second Hague Conference came to an end on October 18, 1907, after sitting for more than four months. In the popular mind the Conference has been dismissed as a failure. No sensational actions were taken, and the quiet and solid work of a group of international lawyers has had little attraction for the general public. It is, however, worth while to make a plain statement of what the Conference did and did not accomplish. The first Hague Conference in 1899 was essentially a peace conference. The question of partial disarmament was put at the head of the Russian program …

Notice To, Or Knowledge Of, An Agent, Floyd R. Mechem
Michigan Law Review
In general-the question frequently arises whether the principal may be affected not only by the agent's acts and contracts, but also by the knowledge which he may possess, or the notice which may come to him, respecting the subject matter of the agency, and which would have affected the principal had it come to him while he was acting in person. The question has arisen in a great variety of forms, but the answer has been substantially uniform, and is commonly found stated in the language of the following section. Many reasons have been assigned, but they are all predicated …
