The Grant Of Rule-Making Power To The Supreme Court Of The United States, Edson R. Sunderland

Michigan Law Review

The determined effort on the part of the American Bar Association, which continued without relaxation for almost a quarter of a century, to place the regulation of federal trial court procedure in law actions under the control of the Supreme Court of the United States, has at last been successful. Senate Bill No. 3040, granting full rulemaking power to the Supreme Court, became a law on June 19, 1934.

The Securities Exchange Act Of 1934, John E. Tracy, Alfred Brunson Macchesney

Michigan Law Review

The Congress has enacted and the President has just signed an act for the regulation of stock exchanges, to be known as the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In order that we may understand the nature of the Act and the reasons for its enactment, it will be well first to consider briefly the organization and functions of stock exchanges, the evils that are claimed to have arisen from their existence, and some of the previous attempts which have been made to prevent the occurrence of such evils.

Amendments To The Securities Act Of 1933, Laylin K. James

Michigan Law Review

Title II of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 amends the Securities Act of 1933. These amendments make substantial concessions to the persistent and continuous clamor against the Securities Act. They will help to allay some of the fears of corporate managements and merchant bankers. The changes affect the definition section, the exemptions, the prospectus, the civil liabilities, and administration provisions.

Federal Housing And Home Loan Legislation And Its Consequences, Ernest M. Fisher

Michigan Law Review

The laissez-faire policy characteristic of both federal and state policy prior to 1932 in connection with housing was first departed from in a provision in the "Emergency Relief and Construction Act of 1932," passed by the 72nd Congress just before adjournment in July. This provision authorized the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to "make loans to corporations, formed wholly for the purpose of providing housing for families of low incomes, or for reconstruction of slum areas, which are regulated by state or municipal law as to rents, charges, capital structure, rate of return, and areas and methods of operation, to aid in …

The Securities Act Of 1933, Laylin K. James

Michigan Law Review

In 1907 a Pennsylvania superior court stated in one of its opinions that, "'there is no reason why a man should not be a fool.' As a corollary to that saying, it may be added that there is no reason why a court should protect a fool against the result of his folly. No new feature of rapacity in the buyer is apparent in this instance [ the purchase of property worth $ 5,000 prospectively for $ 500] to make him a worse offender against the law of fair dealing than an army of Shy locks who have preceded him. …

Constitutional Law - Moratory Legislation

Michigan Law Review

A Minnesota statute, in view of the economic emergency, provided, among other things, that courts might, upon petition of a mortgagor, extend the period of redemption from mortgage foreclosure sales for a definite time not beyond May 1, 1935. If a court took such action, the mortgagor was to remain in possession of the premises and pay a reasonable rental to the mortgagee. Held, by the United States Supreme Court in a five-to-four decision, that this statute did not violate the contracts, or due process, or equal protection clauses of the Constitution.

National Industrial Recovery Act - President's Re-Employment Agreement - Injunction By Labor Union

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, a Wisconsin labor union, was granted a temporary injunction restraining defendant shoe company, a party to the President's Re-employment Agreement, from "further interference with the right of its employes to organize into unions of their own free will and choice" and from "interfering with . . . the freedom of its employes in the designation of representatives of their own choice for the purpose of bargaining collectively" with the company. The court decided that defendant had violated its agreement with the President to comply with section 7 (a) of the National Industrial Recovery Act. This last was based on …

National Legislation Of The Depression, Wesley A. Sturges

Washington Law Review

I shall undertake to review something of the background,—somethng of the idealism, conceptions, and compromises—of some of the national legislation of the depression. I shall examine this background prinarily for its significance as a possible aid m judging the social, economic and legal validity of the more important of these legislative measures. For the most part, I shall have in view the so-called Inflation Bill, the National Industrial Recovery Act, and the Agricultural Adjustment Act. I hope that my remarks shall not sound as of the utterances of political campaign speeches. I shall, therefore, do little more than raise questions …

Bulk Sales Laws: Transactions Covered By These Statutes, Thomas Clifford Billig, Kingsley Richard Smith

West Virginia Law Review

This paper will carry forward the discussion of bulk sales legislation begun in an article entitled "Bulk Sales Laws: A Study in Economic Adjustment", and continued in a second article entitled "Bulk Sales Laws: A Study in Statutory Interpretation." The first paper "considered three phases of the bulk sales problem: (1) the inability of the American statutory successors of 13 Elizabeth to meet the legal needs of the creditor class when a defrauding merchant sold out in bulk his stock of unpaid for goods to a bona fide purchaser for value; (2) the campaign waged by the National Association of …

Federal Anti-Trust Law And The National Industrial Recovery Act, Howard E. Wahrenbrock

Michigan Law Review

The economic struggle for existence - the competitive system - which has been principally depended upon to equate the production and consumption of economic goods, is not self-sustaining. Extreme forms of that struggle - engrossing, forestalling, regrating, contracts in restraint of trade, monopoly, unfair competition, to mention some forms at the higher stages of legal development - have had to be restrained by law. Their restriction has been called for to protect the poor and economically weak from oppression by the rich and economically powerful; under a system of complete laissez faire, competition would bring about the elimination of the …

Veterans' Legislation And Limitations Upon The Implied Powers Of Congress, Robert T. Donely

West Virginia Law Review

The enactment of "veterans' legislation" by the Congress of the United States, in all its various phases, is essentially a gift in the form of money or services to a specially constituted minority of citizens. Since the source of the funds applied to such purposes flows, by the incidence of taxation, from the assets of the people as a whole, the inquiry is at once suggested: upon what theory is justified this collection from the many and donation to the few? If, by hypothesis, all would agree that this is undemocratic, what is the basis for the exception to the …

Garnishment Of Public Corporations, Jeff B. Fordham

West Virginia Law Review

The notion that garnishment of public corporations is against public policy early took root in the minds of American judges. The history of the subject is an interesting commentary on the growth of our law. The policy objection, based principally on the avoidance of inconvenience to public administration, has been accorded wide judicial acceptance with only occasional reconsideration on the merits. Stare decisis and that characteristic, but for the most part commendable, conservatism of bench and bar have done their part to entrench the doctrine. Judicial revolt against it, which has occurred largely in cases involving municipalities, has made only …

Constitutional Law - The Delegation Of Federal Legislative Power To Executive Or Administrative Agencies

Michigan Law Review

The range of governmental activity, ever expanding both because of the adoption of new functions and because of the increase in proportions of the old, has developed a frequent need for supervision by specialized administrative agencies. In addition to the normal trend toward increased administrative control, present-day economic difficulties have provided additional impetus in that direction. Hence the question of how far Congress can go in turning over its duties to executive or administrative agencies has become of immediate and vital concern.

Control Of Securities Selling, Watson Washburn

Michigan Law Review

President Roosevelt in his inaugural address stated as one of the most important immediate necessities of the country "a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments." This statement is in line with his campaign criticism of the failure of the Republican national administration to check the inordinate inflation of security prices in 1929. There is no doubt that the President's program in this respect received a sympathetic hearing throughout the country. Many state legislatures are now considering changes in state laws regulating securities. It is interesting that some States with rigid blue sky laws seem to be quite …

Undiscovered Fraud And Statutes Of Limitation, John P. Dawson

Michigan Law Review

Statutes of limitation are framed in terms of the interval between the accrual of a "cause of action" and the filing of suit. How far is the operation of this mathematical formula varied by the circumstance that the existence of the cause of action was for some time unknown to the suitor? In most American States statutes have given a partial answer to the question, but in uncertain terms. There, as well as in States where statutes are silent, an effort to provide a full and final answer would face a tangled web of history and legal doctrine, interwoven with …
