Stenographic Report Of The Proceedings Of The Librarian's Conference On Copyright, 2d Session, In New York City, November 1-4, 1905, United States Congress

Legislative History – Copyright Act of 1909

This draft of the proposed Bill for the amendment and consolidation of the copyright laws is entitled a "Memorandum Draft" to indicate its tentative nature. It is not submitted as a complete text. The time allowed (since September first) has been too short to do justice to so difficult a task. Provisions dealing with many important questions, such as penalties for infringement, judicial procedure, definitions, and the inclusion of other subjects under copyright protection, have had to be left for future consideration. It is hoped, however, that what is here tentatively submitted may serve as a basis for such discussion …

Excerpt From Report Of The Librarian Of Congress For Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1905, United States Congress

Legislative History – Copyright Act of 1909

"The existing copyright laws of the United States are admittedly imperfect and confused, difficult for the courts to interpret, and impossible for the Copyright Office to administer to the satisfaction of its clients. A similar, though less flagrant condition of the laws relating to trade-marks led to the appointment by Congress of a Commission to revise and codify them. Similar action has been urged to deal with copyright. The experience of the committees of Congress concerned with these subjects led them to believe, however, that as effective results would be achieved more promptly, and at less cost, by conference and …

Stenographic Report Of The Proceedings Of The Librarian's Conference On Copyright, 1st Session, In New York City, May 31-June 2, 1905, United States Congress

Legislative History – Copyright Act of 1909

The origin and the occasion and the purpose of the Conference … is a general agreement that our present copyright laws are defective in definition and imperfect and perhaps inconsistent in expression. The occasion is an intimation from the Senate Committee on Patents that at the coming session of Congress it proposes to submit abill for a codification of these laws. Such a bill would naturally be drafted in the Copyright Office. If so, it would be the desire of the Copyright Office to have upon it the criticism of the various interests concerned with copyright protection. But the office …

Constitutional Limitations On Primary Election Legislation, Floyd R. Mechem

Michigan Law Review

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 …

Letter From Sen. Kittredge To Librarian Of Congress, Dated January 27, 1905, Recommending That Librarian Call Conference, United States Congress

UNITED STATES SENATE
Committee on Patents

Washington, D. C.
January 27, 1905.

Hon. Herbert Putnam,
Library of Congress
Washington, D. C.

My dear Sir:-

Yesterday I conferred with Senator Platt of Connecticut regarding your suggestion that Congress by resolution authorize you to call a conference to consider a codification of the copyright law. Senator Platt is strongly opposed to the appointment of a commission and also thinks it improper for Congress to authorize you to call this conference. I have taken this matter up with the members of the Patent Committee and we have agreed that Senator Platt’s conclusion is …

Municipal Crisis In Ohio, John Archibald Fairlie

Michigan Law Review

On June 26th, 1902, the supreme court of Ohio rendered three decisions which precipitated a crisis in municipal affairs in that state. For, by these decisions, the court virtually overruled a long line of precedents, and laid down a principle under which scarcely a city in the state possessed a constitutional government. In consequence, the legislature was summoned in extraordinary session to enact a new municipal code for all the cities and villages in the state. The situation was unparalleled, even in American history; and the task before the general assembly was doubtless the most important single act ofmlnicip,- 1,egislati_u …

Torrens Acts': Some Comparisons, James H. Brewster

Articles

The widespread discussion during the last ten years of the general scheme of registration of title to land, popularly known as the "Torrens System," has served to satisfy most disinterested lawyers and laymen of the general merits of the system. Consideration of the matter has been confined to no one section of the country, but has extended from Maine to California, and from Oregon to Texas. The result has been that laws embodying the general principles of the system have been enacted in six states, and proposed laws are before the legislatures of several others. The fact, however, that some …
