Washington Law Review
The decision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals (Ninth Circuit) in the case of Contmnental Natwnal Bank v. National City Bank has reopened the question which received much attention in the legal and commercial periodicals following the writing of the opinions in O'Meara v.

Escheat In Washington, Carl P. Zapp
Escheat In Washington, Carl P. Zapp
Washington Law Review
Since the income of the state is dependent upon the income of the inhabitants, whatever diminishes their income also diminishes that of the state. Thus during times of depression when the people are unemployed and property becomes depreciated in value the income of the state, largely based upon taxation, becomes to that ,extent lessened. Therefore, when the taxes become insufficient, the tendency is to look to other sources of revenue which during prosperous times are often overlooked. One of these sources of revenue is escheat. There have been two recent decisions upon the subject in Washington. In the Allen case …

Washington Law Review

Effect Upon A Lease Of A Real Estate Mortgage Foreclosure, George V. Powell
Effect Upon A Lease Of A Real Estate Mortgage Foreclosure, George V. Powell
Washington Law Review
This discussion will be confined to those jurisdictions adopting the lien theory of mortgages. Many of the questions involved are regulated wholly or partly by statute, so there will be no attempt to make a critical comparison of the rules in the various states. To determine what rule will be followed in any particular state, its statutes should be compared with those existing in the states in which decisions have been reported.

Accord And Satisfaction In Washington, Harold Shepherd, Warren Shattuck
Accord And Satisfaction In Washington, Harold Shepherd, Warren Shattuck
Washington Law Review
Although the terms accord and satsfactioon are generally used in the conjunctive, they constitute distinct stages in the process of discharging a cause of action. The accord, in its technical sense, is a bilateral contract by the terms of which a creditor having a cause of action against a debtor promises to accept and the debtor promises to give something other than was originally due in discharge of the claim. Performance of the accord and its acceptance by the creditor constitute satisfaction. Generally the cause of action is not discharged until satisfaction, although there may be cases where discharge is …
Some Effects Of The Aliend Land Act In Washington, Joseph J. Lanza
Some Effects Of The Aliend Land Act In Washington, Joseph J. Lanza
Washington Law Review
Legislation restricting the ownership of land by aliens in the State of Washington, has given rise to many interesting questions of law. The Supreme Court of the State, beginning with the Oregon Mortgage Co. v. Carstens case in 1896, and presently ending with the Ying v. Kay cases in 1933, has had manifold opportunities to answer a great portion of the perplexing problems that have arisen under the Alien Land laws. However, there remain many questions as yet undecided, and it is the purpose of this article to not only epitomize the conclusions already adjudicated, but also predict some probable …

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. For the most part, I shall have in view the so-called Inflation Bill, the National Industrial Recovery Act, and the Agricultural Adjustment Act. I hope that my remarks shall not sound as of the utterances of political campaign speeches. I shall, therefore, do little more than raise questions …

Constitutionality Of State Income Taxes, Harold Hestnes
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 …
