The Constitution And A "Planned Economy", Henry Rottschaefer Jun 1940

The Constitution And A "Planned Economy", Henry Rottschaefer

Michigan Law Review

A little more than a decade has passed since the collapse of the wildest speculative orgy ever indulged in by a nation not markedly given to underestimating its own economic and financial potentialities. It came at a time when the conjuncture of world-wide economic forces combined with almost world-wide unsound practices in the fields of international trade and finance had created an extremely unstable economic situation throughout the world. It would require a degree of optimism as large as that entertained by the speculative community during the "boom period" to believe that the measures and policies adopted and followed during …

Defendant's land, situated between the riverside and set-back levees of the proposed floodway extending along the western bank of the Mississippi from Bird's Point to New Madrid, Missouri, was inundated in the flood of 1937, at which time the floodway, with its system of fuse plugs (whereby the riverbank levee was to be lowered to allow flood waters to spend their destructive force by spreading over larger areas) was not yet in operation. Thereafter the United States, under authority conferred by the Flood Control Act of 1928, instituted condemnation proceedings to secure flowage rights over defendant's land. Defendant claimed that …

Constitutional Law - Original Jurisdiction Of United States Supreme Court - Availability As A Procedural Remedy To Avoid Multiple Taxation, Benjamin W. Franklin

Michigan Law Review

The state of Massachusetts instituted an original proceeding against the state of Missouri and individual citizens of Missouri for leave to file a bill of complaint, alleging that M. B.

Constitutional Law - Delegation Of Legislative Power - Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act, Edward S. Biggar

Michigan Law Review

The declared policy of the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 was to raise the purchasing power of agricultural commodities and, at the same time, to protect the interest of the consumer. The Secretary of Agriculture was empowered to issue orders which, in his belief, based upon a consideration of evidence introduced at a public hearing, would tend to effectuate this policy. Certain minimum requirements as to the provisions of the orders were imposed. For any order to be effective, it must have been approved by a proportion of the producers of the commodity concerned. Pursuant to the provisions of …


Constitutional Law - Equal Protection Of The Laws - Discrimination Against Transients Vending Purchased Produce, Michigan Law Review Feb 1940

Constitutional Law - Equal Protection Of The Laws - Discrimination Against Transients Vending Purchased Produce, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

A Minneapolis ordinance required transient dealers in farm produce to procure a license, but exempted farmers selling their own produce. The appellant was fined for selling butter without the necessary transient merchant license as provided by the ordinance. On appeal, appellant contended that the ordinance was unconstitutional because of class discrimination since (1) sellers in established places of business paid one type of fee while the transients paid another, and (2) farmers selling produce grown by themselves were exempt while other transients were required to pay a fee and furnish bond. Held, that the ordinance was unconstitutional because the …

Constitutional Law - National Firearms Act - Usurpation Of Police Power Of States - Constitutional Right To Bear Arms, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Defendants were indicted for violating section 11 of the National Firearms Act by transporting a firearm in interstate commerce without having registered it, and without having in their possession a stamp-affixed written order for the firearm. Their demurrer alleged that the act was unconstitutional because it was not a revenue measure but an attempt to usurp police power reserved to the states, and because it infringed the constitutional right to bear arms. The district court sustained the demurrer on the ground that this section of the act violated the constitutional right to bear arms. Held, on appeal, that the …

Evidence - Constitutional Law - Use Of Statutory Presumptions In Criminal Cases, Edward M. Watson Jan 1940

Evidence - Constitutional Law - Use Of Statutory Presumptions In Criminal Cases, Edward M. Watson

Michigan Law Review

The recent efforts on the part of state legislatures to increase the effectiveness of their criminal codes has resulted in extending the use of the statutory presumption to new fields of criminal law. The reaction which necessarily follows such an innovation upon traditional practice has appeared in the form of renewed attacks upon the constitutionality of the device, accompanied by the usual expressions of alarm concerning the "threat to liberty" that lurks in the use of this "mechanistic" instrument of "arbitrary oppression."
