Washington Timber Deeds And Contracts, Ralph W. Johnson
Washington Timber Deeds And Contracts, Ralph W. Johnson
Articles
The law of Washington concerning the interests conveyed by timber deeds and contracts is foggy. Many vital questions are still totally unanswered, or have been left in confusion, by the cases in point. The principal area of doubt revolves around the question of whether standing timber, which has been sold separately from the land on which it stands, is realty or personalty. The answer is vital for many reasons. It determines whether a husband has power as manager of the community to convey community-owned timber without his wife's signature, which statute of frauds applies to a timber transaction, which recording …
Say It Safely, Legal Limits In Journalism And Broadcasting, By Paul P. Ashley (1956), Thomas J. Brennan
Say It Safely, Legal Limits In Journalism And Broadcasting, By Paul P. Ashley (1956), Thomas J. Brennan
Washington Law Review
Mr. Ashley's book is a revision of his earlier volume, Essentials of Libel, published in 1948. It is a small book in which the author, a member of the Seattle Bar experienced in newspaper law, has attempted to provide the journalist and broadcaster with a handy check-list of the danger spots confronting them through the law of the press. It is, in the words of the author, a "Stop, Look and Listen handbook." Mr. Ashley has accomplished his purpose quite successfully.
Legal Significance Of "Capital Stock", J. Gordon Gose
Legal Significance Of "Capital Stock", J. Gordon Gose
Washington Law Review
The purpose of this article is to clarify, if possible, these different meanings. In essence, it will be shown that the first meaning, that is, "capital stock" in the sense of "shares", while possibly technically inaccurate is practically unimportant; second, that the concept of "capital stock" as "property" or as a "trust fund" for creditors is, if given a literal meaning, most inaccurate, confusing and unnecessary; and third, that the concept of "capital stock" as an "amount", is the only usage which is useful and correct under the present Washington statute.

Free Speech, Due Process—And Contempt, Gordon L. Walgren
Free Speech, Due Process—And Contempt, Gordon L. Walgren
Washington Law Review
The power of a court to punish summarily for contempt has been likened to be "the nearest [thing] akin to despotic power of any power existing under our form of government." On the other hand, it has been praised as an inherent necessity if the courts are to exercise their functions properly. The balancing of these two considerations has perplexed the courts which have dealt with the contempt cases as they have come up through the years; that is, whether to limit the power, thereby possibly sacrificing judicial decorum and standing, or to allow it to remain unlimited as an …

Report Of The Judicial Council On Expediting The Work Of The Supreme Court, Alfred J. Schweppe
Report Of The Judicial Council On Expediting The Work Of The Supreme Court, Alfred J. Schweppe
Washington Law Review
The problem is the work load of the supreme court. According to the two most recent chief justices, Judge Hamley who has just left the rostrum, and Judge Donworth, who is here in the audience, the Supreme Court of the State of Washington is falling rather rapidly behind. In the May term of this year it was impossible for the court to set all of the cases that were ready for assignment. In the September term many cases now ready for assignment will go unset and cannot be set until the January term and the backlog of cases is increasing. …
Shall Advocacy Vanish?, J. A. Gooch
Shall Advocacy Vanish?, J. A. Gooch
Washington Law Review
The subject of my remarks indicates that at some time in the past and as of now advocacy has been practiced. To me advocacy is the backbone and the real strength of justice in this great land of ours. The term "advocate" has been linked with the legal profession—and properly so—from the beginning of time. We are a profession that has always taken an objective point of view, as contrasted with the negative or defensive point of view, to the end that principles and ideals shall be maintained.
Certificates Of Title As A Practical System For Constructive Notice Of Security Interests In Motor Vehicles, Donald H. Bond
Certificates Of Title As A Practical System For Constructive Notice Of Security Interests In Motor Vehicles, Donald H. Bond
Washington Law Review
The position of a person taking security interests in motor vehicles in Washington is plagued with uncertainties. A sharp increase in the rate of defaults on loans so secured could make that position not only uncertain, but precarious. This unsatisfactory state of affairs is caused by the obsolescence of the present system for providing constructive notice of such security interests. A comparison of that system, which consists of the Washington certificate of ownership statute and the conditional sales and chattel mortgage filing statutes, with the recently-drafted Uniform Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title and Anti-Theft Act makes this fact painfully obvious. …
The Federal Tort Claims Act: A Proposed Construction Of The Discretionary Function Exception, Cornelius J. Peck
The Federal Tort Claims Act: A Proposed Construction Of The Discretionary Function Exception, Cornelius J. Peck
Washington Law Review
The purpose of this article is a limited one. It contains no suggestions for a broad statutory scheme for distributing all the burdens and costs of government. Its purpose is to suggest no more than a workable and just construction for the discretionary function exception of the statute. For the greatest part, the suggestion is no more than what the legislative history of the exception suggests—that the courts take note of the special problems of determining the liability of the Government for torts and then proceed to decide the cases as they would have done if the exception were not …
Washington Water Rights—A Sketch, Arval A. Morris
Washington Water Rights—A Sketch, Arval A. Morris
Washington Law Review
The general water policy applicable to unappropriated land within Washington Territory was that of prior appropriation and was announced by the Congress at an early date.6 Congressional enactments were passed in order to conform policy to the then existing practice of appropriation of water to a beneficial use and to encourage settlement of new areas. The Desert Land Act of 1877 effected a severance of all unappropriated non-navigable water from the public domain and made these waters publici juris. In addition, the states, including those forthcoming from the territories, were given plenary control over the severed water and were allowed …
The Requirement For Making Findings Of Fact And Conclusions Of Law In Washington, William D. Cameron
The Requirement For Making Findings Of Fact And Conclusions Of Law In Washington, William D. Cameron
Washington Law Review
The doctrine that a court should make findings of fact and conclusions of law as the basis of a judgment in a case tried by a court without a jury originated with the so-called "Field" Procedure Code presented to the New York legislature in 1848. Paradoxically, most western states quickly incorporated the burdensome procedure into their respective codes, while New York admirably adopted a different system. Western states, like Washington where the system of findings as a basis of the judgment in a jury-waived case has been statutory since 1854, have by and large retained the procedure. In 1938 the …
Just Compensation And The Navigation Power, William J. Powell
Just Compensation And The Navigation Power, William J. Powell
Washington Law Review
The fifth amendment of the United States Constitution commands that private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation. Many cases involve the issue of what constitutes just compensation for particular private property which has been taken. Few guiding principles have been formulated, other than a general proposition that just compensation is based upon the market value of the property with due consideration of all its available uses. The amount assessed under the above formula cannot be enhanced by any special use of the property to the Government, because just compensation means the amount of loss to …
The Questionable Status Of The Charitable Immunity, Robert M. Westberg
The Questionable Status Of The Charitable Immunity, Robert M. Westberg
Washington Law Review
Until 1953, charitable corporations in Washington enjoyed a limited immunity from tort liability. Until 1953, the extent of the immunity thus enjoyed was well enough defined so that the practitioner was assured that his predictions as to the outcome of future litigation would be reasonably accurate. However, two recent Washington cases dealing with the charitable immunity doctrine have effected the removal of much of the certainty from this area of the law, and thus prompt an analysis of the charitable immunity and its practical effect today.
Pre-Emption Of State Anti-Sedition Legislation By Federal Legislation, Betty B. Fletcher
Pre-Emption Of State Anti-Sedition Legislation By Federal Legislation, Betty B. Fletcher
Washington Law Review
In Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Nelson, 100 L.Ed. Adv. R. 415, Sup.Ct. 477 (1956), the United States Supreme Court, per Mr. Chief Justice Warren, sustained the decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Western District, quashing the indictment of Steve Nelson under the Pennsylvania Sedition Act. (Under that indictment, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment, to a $10,000 fine and to costs of prosecution in the sum of $13,000 by the lower Pennsylvania court.) Subsequent to the state court trial, Nelson, an open and avowed communist, was tried and convicted under the federal anti-sedition act (the …

Washington Law Review
Giron et al. v. Cranor, 116 F.Supp. 92 (E.D.Wash. 1953), aff'd sub nom. Cranor v. Gonzales, 226 F.2d 83 (9th Cir. 1955), cert. denied, 350 U.S. 935 (1956) represents another significant step in the expanding supervision of state criminal proceedings by the federal courts. Petitioner was arrested without a warrant and held incommunicado for more than 24 hours by Seattle police. During this interval he was intensely interrogated and finally signed a statement which was offered as a confession at the murder trial of petitioner and his two alleged accomplices. Timely objection was made to the admission on the ground …
