An Experiment In Equalization, And Its Result, William Carpenter
An Experiment In Equalization, And Its Result, William Carpenter
Michigan Law Review
The legislature of the State of Michigan at its latest session, attempted to provide a remedy for the injustice often occasioned by the boards of supervisors in equalizing the assessment rolls of the several townships, wards and cities of their respective counties. For that purpose it passed Act No.292 of the laws of 19O9 amending secs. 34 and 37 of the general tax law. The act provides that any supervisor of any township or city who considers his township or city aggrieved by the action of the board of which he is a member, in equalizing the valuation of the …

Some Leading Principles Of Chinese Law, Gustavus Ohlinger
Some Leading Principles Of Chinese Law, Gustavus Ohlinger
Michigan Law Review
It has frequently been remarked that of all nations, China approaches most nearly the Jeffersonian ideal in being the least governed. To a greater extent than any other people, the Chinese manage their own affairs. The usages of trade are defined by the various commercial guilds-organizations which have acquired a prestige and influence without parallel in any other country. Commercial disputes are submitted to these bodies and by them are settled promptly, finally, and usually satisfactorily. Matters of currency and exchange are determined by the powerful bankers' guild. Physicians, fortune-tellers, geomancers and even mendicants, have their organizations through which the …

Uniformity Of Commercial Law On The American Continent, Roscoe Pound
Uniformity Of Commercial Law On The American Continent, Roscoe Pound
Michigan Law Review
Anglo-American, lawyers are not, as a rule, believers in codification. Hence, as legislation is the only agency through which in practice a uniform commercial law for the American continent may be looked for, you might, with some degree of reason, anticipate that I should be opposed to such a project. I may say, however, that I do not, at all share the orthodox common-law antipathy toward legislation and codification. I have no doubt that a legislative restatement of the law and a juridical new start upon the basis of such a restatement are inevitable in English-speaking countries for the same …
Some Questions In Connection With State Rate Regulation, Guy A. Miller
Some Questions In Connection With State Rate Regulation, Guy A. Miller
Michigan Law Review
There are probably few questions of greater interest, both present and future, than those which concern the relations between corporations performing the so-called public services on the one hand, and their immediate patrons and the general public on the other. These questions relate to the quality and safety of the services rendered, to the rights of all members of the public to receive service without discrimination, and to the charges which may be exacted for those services. To a great extent they involve matters of public policy and economics, rather than those which are strictly legal in nature, while even …
The Public Service Of The Future Lawyer, John C. Park
The Public Service Of The Future Lawyer, John C. Park
Michigan Law Review
The lawyer has two characters. He is a private personage, and as such cares for his family, contributes to the local improvement and philanthropies and conducts the common business affairs of his clients. He is also a public functionary and as such his usefulness is not confined to appearance in court and the conduct of litigation. From him must be had the counsel necessary in public movements, his brain must plan and his hand write the rules necessary to make right and wrong govern modem conditions. His must be the thought which shall stir the people to action. In him …

The Illinois Ten-Hour Labor Law For Women, Andrew Alexander Bruce
The Illinois Ten-Hour Labor Law For Women, Andrew Alexander Bruce
Michigan Law Review
There are few cases before the American courts today which are of more significance than that which has recently been brought in the Illinois courts by William E. Ritchie of Chicago and which seeks "to enjoin the prosecuting officers of the state from enforcing the provisions of the so-called Women's' Ten-Hour Labor Law. The case of course involves the somewhat mooted question as to whether the remedy in such cases, if remedy there be at all, is by injunction, or whether the slower and more unsatisfactory procedure of a writ of error is not technically demanded, but this question is …

The Commerce Clause, And Taxation Of Gross Receipts And Of "Intangible Property.", Frederick H. Cooke
Michigan Law Review
The decision in Galveston, Harrisburg &c. Ry. Co. v. Texas curiously, perhaps even painfully, illustrates the confusion that has resulted from the establishment by the Supreme Court of what seem to me to be incompatible rules of taxation. As is well understood, the commerce clause of the Federal Constitution imposes certain restrictions upon action under the authority of a State. That is to say, it is a general rule that has been frequently applied, that no restriction by way of prohibition or otherwise may be validly imposed under the authority of a State upon transportation within the scope of the …
The German Law-Suit Without Lawyers, Simon E. Baldwin
The German Law-Suit Without Lawyers, Simon E. Baldwin
Michigan Law Review
As in the Roman practice, during the formulary period, there were two judicial stages to every law-suit, one in which the issue was determined and: the mode of trial directed, and another for the trial itself, so there are two judicial stages to every German law-suit. In the first, the court finds out what is really in controversy; in the second is the trial. In most cases there must be written pleadings drawn by lawyers, and a trial conducted by lawyers. A plaintiff is not allowed to conduct his own cause in any of the higher courts. But the plaintiff …

The Anthracite Coal Industry And The Busness Affected With A Public Interest, Andrew Alexander Bruce
The Anthracite Coal Industry And The Busness Affected With A Public Interest, Andrew Alexander Bruce
Michigan Law Review
The constitutions, state and federal, do not anywhere guarantee any absolute property rights nor right to liberty. The guarantee is merely that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty and property without due process of law. The right to liberty and property was never absolute under the English law, and the American constitutions have never been construed as going further than guaranteeing the continuance of the rights which existed at the time of their adoption.
