Administrative Law - Johnson Act - Jurisdiction Of Federal Courts To Grant Injunctions Against Enforcement Of Rate Orders Of State Commissions, Donald L. Quaife

Michigan Law Review

Two years have elapsed since the passage of the Johnson Act restricting the jurisdiction of federal district courts to enjoin rate-making orders of state utility commissions; and the time is now ripe to survey the case law which has grown up under the act and to evaluate its results. It will be recalled that this statute came as the culmination of a long history of agitation to prevent federal court interference with what many believed to be a function which local state courts were better fitted to review. The interference aimed at had resulted from the amendment to the Judiciary …

The Proposed United States Administrative Court, Robert M. Cooper

Michigan Law Review

The last half century has witnessed a constant, almost relentless, increase of governmental responsibilities and services in both federal and state spheres of control. Due to the changing needs of our economic and social order, the desire for speedy, efficient and inexpensive settlement of controversies and the imperative need of specialized administrators, the task of performing these new functions has not infrequently been delegated to administrative tribunals or commissions. Neither the legislature nor the judiciary was capable of administering the myriad details or countless controversies which inevitably accompanied these new functions of government. As a consequence an administrative branch of …

Taxation Of Undistributed Corporate Profits, John B. Martin Jr.

Michigan Law Review

The legislation proposed by President Roosevelt in his message of March 3, 1936, to prevent automatic avoidance of taxation by non-distribution of corporate profits, does not represent a new and previously unheard of system of taxation. It embraces, on the contrary, the gist of proposals made by various individuals and organizations extending back as far as the year 1864 when Congress passed, a Revenue Act providing that "gains and profits of all companies, whether incorporated or partnership . . . shall be included in estimating the annual gains, profits, or income of any person entitled to the same, whether divided …

Revenue Financing Of Public Enterprises, E. H. Foley Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Courts have been slow to take judicial notice of the growing needs of local communities. Legislatures have restrained municipal corporations from engaging in business enterprises upon the assumption that the object was mere hope of gain, that the investment of municipal funds in such enterprises was simply a speculation, or that the effect was to divert municipal corporations from their legitimate ends and to poach upon the preserves of private enterprise. Novel municipal undertakings have been feared as an entering wedge of state socialism or governmental paternalism. Even when the instrumentality of private adventure was disposed to leave a need …

Legislative Attack On "Heart Balm", Nathan P. Feinsinger

Michigan Law Review

Public resentment over the abuses incident to "heart balm" suits has recently culminated in sweeping legislative reform. Through the repeated efforts of a woman legislator, Indiana has abolished actions for seduction of females over twenty-one years of age, for breach of promise to marry, and for criminal conversation and alienation of affections. Almost immediately New York, and shortly thereafter Illinois, passed similar legislation, and at least ten other states are now considering analogous proposals.

The Gold Clause Decisions, John P. Dawson

Michigan Law Review

The gold clause decisions of February 18, 1935, have already taken their place among the great landmarks of American constitutional history. They have given a partial answer to some basic questions of constitutional law. Directly they have disposed of claims amounting to a total of many billions of dollars. But their further implications, both for public and private law, are of even greater magnitude; it may be many years before these wider implications are more fully understood.

Constitutional Law-Validity Of State Anti-Injunction Legislation

Michigan Law Review

The development of organized labor in the United States has created difficult legal and social problems with which the courts and the legislatures are required to deal. The courts were the first to deal with these problems and, rightly or wrongly, attempted to apply to them the existing rules of law. For instance, the rules of property law have been applied. Where organized labor interfered with the carrying of the mail, it was said that the federal government had a property right in the mails. Where the carrying on of a business was interfered with, it was held that the …

Statutes- Constitutional Law - Legislative Action At Special Session Limited By Governor's Message

Michigan Law Review

At a special session called by the executive to consider, among other matters, a bill "providing for the validation of bonds issued by a municipality under sufficient popular vote regardless of technical requirements," the legislature enacted a statute permitting validation of bonds even when issued without legal power, and the bill was approved by the governor. Pursuant to the statute, the common council of Detroit, in order to refund the city's bonded debt, approved the validity of the old obligations of the municipality, and petitioned for a writ of mandamus to compel the city controller to issue the refunding bonds …

Michigan Law Review

It will be the purpose of this article to attempt (1) a chronological survey of the previous Supreme Court cases relating to alleged delegations of legislative power, and (2) an analysis and discussion of the Panama Refining Co. decision in the light of this background. No discrimination is made between delegations of state and of federal legislative power, as the Supreme Court makes no such discrimination.

Constitutional Law - New Deal Legislation - Gold Hoarding Statute

Michigan Law Review

Two cases involving acts of Congress passed in March 1933 to prevent the hoarding of gold' were denied a review by the United States Supreme Court on October 8. Both of these cases involved the same facts. Plaintiff had delivered certain gold bars to a bank for safe-keeping. Later the bank notified him that, pursuant to an executive order by the President of the United States, it would have to surrender the gold. Immediately the plaintiff demanded the return of the bullion, which demand was refused, and he filed bills for specific performance of the bailment contract against the bank …
