Law Of Oil And Gas, Iv, James A. Veasey Dec 1920

Law Of Oil And Gas, Iv, James A. Veasey

Michigan Law Review

This clause follows the grant, and is one of the most distinctive features of the modern oil and gas lease. Occasionally the duration of the lease is fixed by the granting clause; some times by a miscellaneous provision appearing therein. But generally speaking, the habenduin defines the term of the present-day oil and gas lease. At any rate a discussion of the legal effect of the habendum clause which now characterizes these instruments will involve the treatment of every important question which arises under this heading. At the outset we should observe that the clause is the direct result of …


Constitutional Law In 1919-1920 Ii, Thomas Reed Powell Dec 1920

Constitutional Law In 1919-1920 Ii, Thomas Reed Powell

Michigan Law Review

Two important cases sustained objections to applications of the federal income tax. In each there was vigorous dissent. Evans v. Gore2 held that the constitutional provision that the federal judges shall receive "a compensation which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office" applies to diminution by inclusion of that compensation in the assessment of the general federal tax on net income. The case at bar involved a tax on the i918 compensation of a judge appointed in 1899. While not directly qualified by anything in the opinion, the decision would seem to have no application to judges appointed …


Indirect Revocation And Termination By Death Of Offers, James Lewis Parks Dec 1920

Indirect Revocation And Termination By Death Of Offers, James Lewis Parks

Michigan Law Review

In a learned and useful article, entitled "The Duration and Termination of an Offer,"1 by Professor Oliphant, which appeared in the January, 192o number of MICHIGAN LAW RvmIW, the nature of an offer to make a simple contract was considered as well as the question of when such an offer can be regarded as either revoked, or terminated. It is pointed out that where the actual state of mind of the offerer is different from his apparent state of mind that "the former must be ignored, and whenever -they happen to be identical that it may be ignored without effecting …


Note And Comment, Horace Lafayette Wilgus, Victor H. Lane, William C. O'Keefe, Evans Holbrook Dec 1920

Note And Comment, Horace Lafayette Wilgus, Victor H. Lane, William C. O'Keefe, Evans Holbrook

Michigan Law Review

Baseball and the Judiciary - The acceptance by Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis of the position of supreme arbiter of professional baseball, as recently announced, raises questions of good taste if not of propriety. It has been generally assumed that Judges of the District Court of the United States have their hands amply full if they do the work incumbent upon them in a way befitting a judge of the United States. It may well be true that the salary provided by the Government is grossly inadequate, but we dare say that no one has considered that the remedy for such …

Book Reviews, Edwin D. Dickinson

Michigan Law Review

Part I of Mr. Ogilvie's book is entitled, "The Evolution of the Principle" and is intended to serve as an introduction to the subject of internatitonal rights on inland navigable waterways. Systematic treatment of the subject is reserved for a later volume. Assuming that free navigation on inland waterways is the natural sequence of freedom on the seas, the author sketches briefly the growth of maritime enterprise, the early development of maritime law, the history of maritime discovery, and the triumph after long controversy of the freedom of the seas- One short chapter is devoted to freedom of navigation on …

Local And Special Legislation In Missouri Under The Constitution Of 1875 (Continued), Roscoe E. Harper

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

It was indicated in the preceding chapter that a general law relates to persons or things as a class; that this class is determined by a "distinguishing peculiarity" which bears a reasonable relation to the purpose for which the statute was enacted; and that this class includes all things which may come within it at any future time. It now remains to examine the cases in which this test has been applied.

The Uniform Partnership Act And Its Effect Upon The West Virginia Decisions And Statutes, J. R. Trotter

West Virginia Law Review

The primary purpose in the annotation of the Uniform Partnership Act is to indicate briefly the changes its adoption would bring about in the law of West Virginia. To this end no attempt has been made to give all the citations; and on those sections on which there seem to be no state decisions at all comments have been made only when it seemed necessary.

The Law And Lawyers, William Hoynes Nov 1920

The Law And Lawyers, William Hoynes

Journal Articles

In this piece, William Hoynes rebukes the pessimism of onlookers who fear that the legal profession has lost its virtue and become overcrowded. Here, Hoynes concedes that the lawyer population has expanded due to a correlating growth of business and that some who bear the title “lawyer” have failed the honor of the profession through the predatory tactic of inciting potential litigants. However, Hoynes moderates this view by shedding light on the prevalence of obtaining legal education to arm oneself with tools useful in reaching success in a myriad of fields other than law practice. In sum, this paper asserts …
