The Rights Of Japanese And Chinese Aliens In Land In Washington, Jack D. Freeman
The Rights Of Japanese And Chinese Aliens In Land In Washington, Jack D. Freeman
Washington Law Review
Here on the Pacific Coast the question of what rights a Japanese or Chinese alien can acquire in real property is of vital importance. A glance into the early law in regards to the rights of aliens in general will serve as an introduction to the problem. The early English common law would not allow an alien to hold land because of the poor policy of permitting the holding of land by one who owed allegiance to another sovereign. This was evaded by a system of uses and trusts. The early American law was the same. Again a system of …

Federal Court Judgment Liens, Marion Edwards
Federal Court Judgment Liens, Marion Edwards
Washington Law Review
Apparently, at the present time, the thought of lawyers on the law relating to the territorial extent of Federal Court judgment liens on real property in the states, is somewhat confused. To attribute the bewilderment to any inherent difficulty in the subject would be ungracious if not unjust. It would be fairer to ascribe it to the distractions of modern life and business, though doubtless some modicum of blame is due to that propensity so gloomily pondered by Sir Joshua Reynolds when he said, "There is no expedient to winch man will not resort to avoid the labor of thinking." …
Waiver Of Patient's Privileges, De Wolfe Emory
Waiver Of Patient's Privileges, De Wolfe Emory
Washington Law Review
It is the purpose here to discuss the circumstances under which a patient is deemed to have waived the privilege veiling commumcations made to his physician, paying more particular attention to the law on that subject as it now exists in this state, in an attempt to arrive at the every-day and practical effect of the claim of privilege upon the ascertainment of truth in the court room.
Does Washington Law Require Testator To Sign His Will In Presence Of Attesting Witness?, Ivan W. Goodner
Does Washington Law Require Testator To Sign His Will In Presence Of Attesting Witness?, Ivan W. Goodner
Washington Law Review
It will be observed that while the statute does not, in terms, require testator to sign in the presence of the attesting witness, it does not mention acknowledgment as a mode of execution. What does "attestation" mean? Webster says that "the subscription of a name to a writing as a witness" is an attestation.

Degrees Of Secondary Evidence, Story Birdseye
Degrees Of Secondary Evidence, Story Birdseye
Washington Law Review
One of.the most ancient of all legal doctrines is the "best evidence rule," although originally it had a much broader meaning than at present. According to the early view, it meant that only the best evidence which could be produced was admissible, it was applicable to all classes of evidence and not confined to documents. In its modern application, however, the best evidence rule amounts only to the requirement that the contents of a written instrument must be proved by the introduction of the writing itself, unless its absence is satisfactorily accounted for. The reason for this law of evidence …
A Review Of Common Carrier Motor Vehicle Regulation, Karl Stecker
A Review Of Common Carrier Motor Vehicle Regulation, Karl Stecker
Washington Law Review
Perhaps no other single factor has played so great a part in the revolution of the economic and social life of the nation during the past generation as the motor vehicle. With the growth of its importance in transportation has come the necessity for regulation. Broadly speaking, outside of the matter of general registration, the regulation, or necessity for regulation, falls within three periods corresponding with the improvement of the motor vehicle itself and with the development of the highways (1) the intracity or "jitney bus" period, (2) the intrastate period, and (3) the interstate period. The regulation of the …

Address Of Jess Hawley Delivered Before The Washington State Bar At Walla Walla, June 21, 1930, Jess Hawley
Washington Law Review
In view of the interest of the attorneys of Washington in an involuntary integral State Bar Organization, it may be of interest to recite the history of the Idaho Act. In 1921 the lawyers of Idaho came definitelv to the conclusion that a voluntary Bar Association had been, then was and would always be a shabbv, even though a genteel sort of failure. The next move was to find another type of organization, and casting about they came across the model self-governing Bar Act reported by Judge Goodwin's committee to the American Bar Association after many years of study This, …

"A Modern Titan", Stephen B.L. Penrose
Washington Law Review
I seriously propose for your consideration that not Charles Darwin, not Abraham Lincoln, not Bismarck, have so profoundly influenced the life of the world today as has the German writer and Socialist organizer, Karl Marx. The god of Soviet Russia is Karl Marx. And Vladimir Ilyitch Ulianoff—Lenin—is his Messiah. The Bible of the working classes of Europe-yes, of Socialist working men around the world, is the book which Karl Marx first published in 1867—"Das Capital," in which his economic social theories are advanced with tremendous power, although with an opacity of expression that obstructed their meaning from him who reads …

President's Address, Edward W. Allen
Washington Law Review
This address should not be compared with the masterpieces of diction and erudition which have preceded it, but should rather be considered in the prosaic nature of a report. Attention is called to the fact that between annual meetings your affairs are conducted by a president, a secretary, and an executive committee consisting.of these officers and five vice-presidents representing the five congressional districts into which the state is divided, also an executive secretary, besides various committees.

The Status Of The Right To Picket In Washington, Charles R. Carey
The Status Of The Right To Picket In Washington, Charles R. Carey
Washington Law Review
The recent decision of the Washington Supreme Court in the case of Sterling Chain Theatres, Incorporated, v. Central Labor Council of Seattle, et al., as to the right to picket, constitutes such a radical departure from the heretofore well-established law of this state, that a retrospection and analysis is essential to a better understanding as to the future solution of this question. In the instant case, the plaintiff sought to restrain as unlawful the acts of members of defendant union of maintaining peaceful patrols marching to and fro with placards signed by the council of all the unions, informing the …

Gross Negligence, Frank L. Mechem, Lowell P. Mickelwait
Washington Law Review
The rule is well established that the operator of an automobile owes an invited guest a duty to exercise reasonable care inits operation, and will be liable to the guest for ordinary negligence which causes injury to him. Nevertheless, a few jurisdictions have adopted the rule that gross negligence must be shown in order to hold the operator liable to his invited guest, or stated conversely, that only slight care is required of the operator of an automobile toward his invited guest.

Status Of The Proceeds Of Life Insurance Under The Community Property System, Fred W. Catlett
Status Of The Proceeds Of Life Insurance Under The Community Property System, Fred W. Catlett
Washington Law Review
The vast and increasing amount of money invested in policies of life insurance in the states having a community property system makes the status of the proceeds of such policies under that system of very general interest, and renders it highly desirable and important that the laws as to such contracts should be worked out with dispatch, definiteness and certainty The fact that there are in the community property states different theories as to the character and extent of the wife's interest and different statutes affecting the determination of the rights of the spouses has led to somewhat varying results. …
Liability Of The Entire Community Estate For The Payment Of State Inheritance Tax Where Husband Undertakes To Dispose Of Entire Community Estate By Will And Wife Elects To Take Under The Will, Judson F. Falknor
Washington Law Review
The question suggested by this topic has not been passed upon by the Supreme Court of this state and has already proven troublesome in a good many pending estates. In this paper, the problem will be discussed from the standpoint of the local inheritance tax and community property statutes, without any especial attention to the similar question which arises under the federal estate tax laws. However, while the state tax and the Federal tax are undoubtedly fundamentally different in their nature, it is thought that the solution of the problem as to the state tax will likewise solve it as …
Validity Of Conditional-Sale Contracts As Affected By Express Or Implied Permission To Sell In The Ordinary Course Of Business, Phyllis Cavender
Validity Of Conditional-Sale Contracts As Affected By Express Or Implied Permission To Sell In The Ordinary Course Of Business, Phyllis Cavender
Washington Law Review
Conditional sales have always been viewed with more or less disfavor by the courts, but now, in every state, with the exception of Louisiana, such a reservation of title by vendor is valid as against the bona fide purchasers and creditors of the conditional vendee, if there has been sufficient compliance with the recording laws that may exist. The question to be herein considered is whether that general rule is in any way modified where the goods are purchased for the purpose of resale. This is a problem of practical significance to the business world in that it involves the …
Constitutionality Of A Search And Seizure, Without Warrant, Of An Automobile—Reasonable Cause—Anonymous Tips, Sherman R. Huffine
Constitutionality Of A Search And Seizure, Without Warrant, Of An Automobile—Reasonable Cause—Anonymous Tips, Sherman R. Huffine
Washington Law Review
Since the case of Carroll v. United States, it has become a generally recognized principle of law that an officer may make a search and seizure of an automobile without a warrant, provided that the officer has probable cause to make the search. The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States specifically is aimed to protect the people against "unreasonable searches and seizures." The Carroll case is based on the theory that if the other has probable cause the search of an automobile is not an unreasonable search. The distinction drawn is that while the warrant can easily …
