"A Modern Titan", Stephen B.L. Penrose Nov 1930

"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 Nov 1930

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.


Address Of Jess Hawley Delivered Before The Washington State Bar At Walla Walla, June 21, 1930, Jess Hawley Nov 1930

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, …

Gross Negligence, Frank L. Mechem, Lowell P. Mickelwait Jun 1930

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.

The Status Of The Right To Picket In Washington, Charles R. Carey Jun 1930

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 …

Status Of The Proceeds Of Life Insurance Under The Community Property System, Fred W. Catlett Apr 1930

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. …


Validity Of Conditional-Sale Contracts As Affected By Express Or Implied Permission To Sell In The Ordinary Course Of Business, Phyllis Cavender Apr 1930

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 Apr 1930

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 …

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 Apr 1930

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 …

The New Judgment Lien Law, F. C. Hackman

Washington Law Review

Among the acts passed at the recent session of the Washington legislature, and which became effective June 12, 1929, is one entitled "An Act relating to judgments, their duration, lien, assignment and satisfaction and repealing certain acts relating thereto." This act purports to be a comprehensive and complete declaration of the law upon the subject-matter set forth in the title, to apply to judgments of both state and federal courts, and to repeal existing laws relating to the matters covered by the act. The principal purpose of its enactment was to repeal the existing provisions of the code relating to …


The Legal Efficacy Of Attempted Methods Of Avoiding Probate, Hugo E. Oswald Jan 1930

The Legal Efficacy Of Attempted Methods Of Avoiding Probate, Hugo E. Oswald

Washington Law Review

Various means have been employed from time to time to avoid the necessity of the probating of estates. Generally speaking, such means have utterly failed to accomplish their purpose. In considering the reasons for such failures it must be borne in mind that there are two classes whose rights are affected. first, the parties themselves, and, secondly, creditors and the state by reason of its right to inheritance tax.

Necesssity Of Notice To A Municipal Corporation To Render It Liabile For Defects In Its Streets, Phyllis Cavender Jan 1930

Necesssity Of Notice To A Municipal Corporation To Render It Liabile For Defects In Its Streets, Phyllis Cavender

Washington Law Review

A municipal corporation is not an insurer of its streets; and is not obliged to so construct and maintain them as to secure absolute nnmunity from any danger in using them. Generally stated, its duty is to exercise ordinary care to keep them in a reasonably safe condition for public travel; this duty being in some states imposed by statute, and in others, arising by mere implication. The Washington rule is well illustrated by the case of Sutton v. Snohomish, in which the court said: "Where a city has exclusive control and management of its streets with power to raise …


Supreme Court Rule Iii Of Pleading, Procedure And Practice—Amendments And Irregularities, E. B. Herald Jan 1930

Supreme Court Rule Iii Of Pleading, Procedure And Practice—Amendments And Irregularities, E. B. Herald

Washington Law Review

Can Rule III governing amendments and irregularities, be invoked by the Supreme Court voluntarily after the trial and after judgment of dismissal for failure of proof? In the case of Porter v. Baretiche in which the complaint was predicated upon an express contract, the action proceeded regularly to trial and resulted in judgment for the full amount claimed in favor of the plaintiff-respondent. Defendant's answer prayed for judgment of dismissal.
