National Legislation Of The Depression, Wesley A. Sturges
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.

Constitutionality Of State Income Taxes, Harold Hestnes
Washington Law Review
The constitutionality of state income taxation has been considered by several courts with the result that some have held state income tax laws constitutional and some have held them unconstitutional. The courts which have passed upon the question have been confined to a consideration of the provisions of the constitution of the particular state and have held that such a tax is in conflict with the constitutional limitations or that such a tax is permissible as not being prohibited by the constitution. The decision in each instance in which the income tax was held unconstitutional has been based upon the …

Progress Of The Law In Washington Community Property, Frederick G. Hamley
Washington Law Review
the ten year period of 1922-32 over one hundred cases involving the law of community property were decided by the Supreme Court of Washington. Many of the cases merely reaffirm well established principles of the law and constructions of the statutes, and the importance of these cases is largely negative. Other cases in which established principles are either extended in application, modified, or rejected, are of positive significance as landmarks in the development and growth of the law It is the purpose of this article (1) to picture that development, and (2) to append to the decisions such comment as …

Mortgagability Of Rents, Profits, Appointment Of Receivers, J. C. Pearl

Heller; Dane v. Dansel; Fischer v. Woodruff; this view being codified by an act of the territorial legislature of 1869 providing that "A mortgage of real property shall not be deemed a conveyance so as to enable the owner of the mortgage to recover possession of the real property, without a foreclosure and sale according to law."
