Constitutional Law-Due Process-Statutory Interpretation As Judicial Legislation
Constitutional Law-Due Process-Statutory Interpretation As Judicial Legislation
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff brought suit in Missouri to enjoin collection of taxes alleged to be discriminatory, basing his claim for equitable relief on the absence of any other remedy. The supreme court of Missouri dismissed the bill, without hearing on the substantive question, on the ground that there existed, under a state statute, an adequate remedy in appeal to the state tax commission. Previously the court had denied, in several cases, that the statute gave such a right, and had allowed equitable relief in one case on that ground. When the decision in the principal case was rendered, it was too late …
Cooperative Associations And The Public, John Hanna
Cooperative Associations And The Public, John Hanna
Michigan Law Review
The American Institute of Cooperation at its first summer meeting in Philadelphia in 1925, devoted many hours to a consideration of the definition of agricultural cooperation. Even at that time cooperative associations had been described, if not defined, by federal legislation. The Bureau of Internal Revenue, the War Finance Corporation and the Intermediate Credit Banks, had also been compelled on numerous occasions to decide whether or not a particular association was entitled to the privileges accorded cooperatives. A determination of the nature of a cooperative was implied in the standard marketing acts adopted in nearly all of the American states. …
Receivers-Penalties On Taxes
Michigan Law Review
The recent case of McCormick v. Puritan Coal Mining Co. presents the question whether penalties and interest continue to accrue on delinquent taxes after the date of the appointment of a receiver. The court determined the question in the negative, supporting its decision by authorities which hold that interest does not ordinarily accrue on the debts of an insolvent after the date of the appointment of a receiver. The decision is directly contrary to the established rule that tax penalties and interest continue to accrue, notwithstanding the property has passed into the hands of a receiver.
Taxation-Jurisdiction To Tax Intangibles
Taxation-Jurisdiction To Tax Intangibles
Michigan Law Review
Until recently the fact that one state had jurisdiction to tax intangibles was no basis for asserting that another state did not, there being apparently no constitutional impediment to double taxation. Nor did the fact that a state lacked jurisdiction to tax property in intangibles necessarily imply an absence of power to tax succession to that property. Both doctrines have been repudiated by the United States Supreme Court in Farmer's Loan & Trust Co. v. Minnesota and Baldwin v. Missouri, decided during the last term.
Taxation Inheritance-Computation Of Gain On Property Acquired From Estate-Date Of Acquisition
Taxation Inheritance-Computation Of Gain On Property Acquired From Estate-Date Of Acquisition
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff was residuary legatee under the will of his father who died in 1918. The estate was administered and closed in 1920 and certain stocks and bonds were then delivered to plaintiff. Subsequently he sold the securities and in making his federal income tax return he computed his gain on the basis of 1920 values which were higher than the 1918 values. The Revenue Act of 1921 sec. 202 (a) (3), 213 provides that for the purpose of determining profit or loss from sale of property acquired by bequest, devise or descent since Feb. 28, 1913, the basis "shall he …

Taxation-Transfer Tax On Death Of Settlor Of Trust Wherin Income Was Reserved

Section 401, Revenue Act of 1918 provided that in order to determine the transfer tax, there should be included in the gross estate "any interest therein of which the decedent has at any time made a transfer, or with respect to which he has at any time created a trust, in contemplation of or intended to take effect in possession or enjoyment at or after his death * * *."

Taxation-Exemption Of Sovereign Instrumentality-Effect Of Imposing Tax
Taxation-Exemption Of Sovereign Instrumentality-Effect Of Imposing Tax
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff corporation brought suit against the collector of internal revenue for federal income taxes paid under protest. The taxes were assessed upon the net income derived from the sale of oil and gas produced on lands which the plaintiff held under lease from the state of Texas. A legislative act provided for the leasing of the lands to further the development of their natural resources, the lessees paying a royalty on oil and gas. The statutory leases had been previously held to constitute a sale of the minerals. Theisen v. Robison, 117 Tex. 489, 8 S.W. (2d) 646. The statute …
Effect Of Tax Exemption And Tax Refunding Provisions On The Negotiability Of Corporate Bonds
Effect Of Tax Exemption And Tax Refunding Provisions On The Negotiability Of Corporate Bonds
Michigan Law Review
The Connecticut court in a series of recent cases has cast considerable doubt on the negotiability of bonds containing provisions for payment without deduction for taxes and for refunding of personal property taxes paid by the holder on account of the instrument. In Mechanic's Bank v. Johnson it held a promissory note containing a promise to pay taxes assessed against the instrument non-negotiable on the ground that the amount was uncertain. In Mazurkiewicz v. Dowholonek it held unconstitutional an act, passed after the earlier decision, establishing the negotiability of such instruments already in circulation, on the ground that it impaired …
