Constitutional Law-Regulation Of Resale Of Tickets Of Admission To Places Of Entertainment
Constitutional Law-Regulation Of Resale Of Tickets Of Admission To Places Of Entertainment
Michigan Law Review
An addition has been made to a series of cases indicating that the United States Supreme Court is turning away from a tendency to sustain state legislation, especially where the factual basis constituting the inducement of the enactment involves debatable factors. in a five to four decision that gives the unscrupulous ticket scalpers free rein to shear all the fleece from the theatre going lambs of greater New York, the Supreme Court has held to be in violation of the Fourteenth-Amendment a New York statute limiting the resale price of tickets of admission to places of entertainment to fifty cents …
Injunction Against Search By Police Officers
Injunction Against Search By Police Officers
Michigan Law Review
A nice equipoise of public and private interest is disclosed in the case of Des Moines Drug Co. v. Doe, in which the Iowa Supreme Court recently had occasion to consider questions raised by a bill in equity to enjoin a search by police officers endeavouring to enforce the liquor laws.

Constitutional Law-Statutory Prohibition Of Possession Of Liquor
Constitutional Law-Statutory Prohibition Of Possession Of Liquor
Michigan Law Review
The Michigan court has recently declared the state statute prohibiting the mere possession of liquor to be constitutional. People v. Burt, 236 Mich. 62, 210 N. W. 97. The court does not enter into any: discussion as to the constitutionality, but relies on a previous decision, People v. Stambosva, 210 Mich. 436, 178 N. W. 226. This phase of the case is stressed, however, in a vigorous dissent by Chief Justice Bird, who denies that the Stambosva case is controlling. That case held the statutory provision in question to be valid, as not violative of due process, but …
Waiver Of Trial By Jury In Criminal Cases, S. Chesterfield Oppenheim
Waiver Of Trial By Jury In Criminal Cases, S. Chesterfield Oppenheim
Michigan Law Review
Waiver of jury trial in criminal cases generally is a highly practical issue at the present time both from the standpoint of the public and of the accused. The belief is common that the element of delay is one of the primary causes of the general disrespect attaching to the courts of criminal juridiction. It is said that an overzealousness in shielding the citizen against oppression and injustice has resulted in shifting to the background expedients designed to simplify and give momentum to the disposition of criminal cases.
Constitutional Law-Partial Unconstitutionality Of Statutes-Effect Of Saving Clause On General Rules Of Construction
Michigan Law Review
In recent legislation it has become fairly common to incorporate so-called "saving" clauses or sections. In effect, these usually state with variations in phraseology, that the adjudication of invalidity of any part of the act shall not affect the validity of the balance or any of the remaining parts of the act and, in some instances in addition, that notwithstanding a portion of the act is declared objectionable, the legislature would have passed the residue of the statute or any of its parts or that the remaining portions or any part thereof shall be enforced without reference to that invalidated.
Police Legislation Under Federal Powers
Police Legislation Under Federal Powers
Michigan Law Review
A recent case decided by the United States Supreme Court United States v. Daugherty (Jan. 4, 1926) 46 Su. Ct. 156 (Adv. Opn. 303) sustained a conviction and sentence under the Harrison Anti-Narcotic Act, 38 Stat. 785, for "making unauthorized sales of cocaine to three different persons on different days" The indictment was in three counts, one covering each sale involved. The sentence imposed was "five years on each of said three counts. * * * * Said term of imprisonment to run consecutively and not concurrently."
Constitutional Law-Compulsory Indemnity For Persons Injured By Automobiles
Constitutional Law-Compulsory Indemnity For Persons Injured By Automobiles
Michigan Law Review
The problem of protecting the public from injuries arising from the use of automobiles upon public highways has recently been subjected to a form of legislative solution that is distinctly different from the earlier attempts. The devices first employed were measures which dealt with the licensing of cars and with the regulation of their use. Later, when the need for giving financial substance to the tort liabilities of motorists appeared, steps were taken in the direction of fixing vicarious liabilities upon the owners of automobiles. This was done to some extent by the courts which announced the "family purpose doctrine," …
International Law--Treaties--Are The Rum Tretaties Self-Executing?
International Law--Treaties--Are The Rum Tretaties Self-Executing?
Michigan Law Review
On May 22, 1924, the United States concluded a treaty with Great Britain by which the latter power agreed that it would raise no objection to the search and seizure of its ships by American authorities on the high seas, provided there was reason to suspect that such ships were committing or attempting to commit an offense against United States laws, and provided the search and seizure were made within an hour's run of the American coast. In return the United States conceded to British ships the privilege of bringing into its ports liquor in bond in their ship stores. …

Sterilization Of Mental Defectives, Burke Shartel
Sterilization Of Mental Defectives, Burke Shartel
Michigan Law Review
In 1923 the legislature of Michigan passed an act "to authorize the sterilization of mentally defective persons". This act has recently been sustained in its main provisions by the Michigan supreme court in a case brought to test its constitutionality. Probably the United States Supreme Court will also have an opportunity to pass upon the validity of this law, but the Michigan decision, although not final on the question whether the sterilization of defectives is violative of the "due process clause" of the Fourteenth Amendment, is nevertheless very significant. It is the first instance so far as the writer can …
Constitutional Law-Due Process-Compulsory Arbitration Under Kansas Industrial Relations Act
Constitutional Law-Due Process-Compulsory Arbitration Under Kansas Industrial Relations Act
Michigan Law Review
Another interesting chapter has been written in the legal history of the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations, that most interesting attempt to substitute judicial methods for the present condition of strife in the field of industrial dispute, and to recognize the rights of the public as an interested third party in such disputes. In Wolff Packing Co. v. Court of Industrial Relations, U. S. Sup. Ct., Oct. Term, 1924, Nos. 207 and 299, 45 S. Ct. Rep. 441, the Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the Industrial Relations Act, c. 29, LAWS 1920 (KANSAS), SPECIAL SESSION, …
Search Of Automobile Without Warrant--When Reasonable
Search Of Automobile Without Warrant--When Reasonable
Michigan Law Review
The enforcement of the National Prohibition Act has been responsible for raising the search and seizure question to a new height of importance. By Section 26 of that act, any officer discovering any person in the transportation of intoxicating liquors is to seize all such liquors being transported contrary to law. Obviously to secure a search warrant is impossible in the very nature of things the automobile, adapted to speed, is gone long before a warrant could be secured. And the employment of the automobile in the transportation of liquor is carried to such an extent that search and seizure …
The Effect Of Martial Law Upon The Soldier's Liability To The Citizen
The Effect Of Martial Law Upon The Soldier's Liability To The Citizen
Michigan Law Review
The recent case of Bishop v. Vandercook, 228 Mich. 299, raises a group of problems of grave importance, seldom discussed in the courts. Can martial law ever exist under our constitutional form of government, so that a soldier becomes privileged, for the time being, to invade the interests of private citizens in a way which the ordinary police powers would not warrant? When may such extraordinary law and extraordinary privilege exist? Is a soldier ever justified in acting under orders given by his superior under supposed martial law when martial law for some reason is not in force?
Prohibition And The Doctrine Of The Weeks Case, Thomas E. Atkinson
Prohibition And The Doctrine Of The Weeks Case, Thomas E. Atkinson
Michigan Law Review
One of the most disputed present day questions is whether evidence obtained in violation of constitutional guarantees against unreasonable searches and seizures should be admissible. The case of Weeks v. United States is perhaps the leading authority upon the proposition that evidence procured by officers through unreasonable search is not admissible. The holding may be justified upon how theories, vis., (1) that the admission of the evidence substantially violates the rule against self-incrimination in the Fifth Amendment, (2) that the exclusion of the evidence is the only practical means of enforcing the guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The Judicial Review Of Executive Acts, Albert Levitt
The Judicial Review Of Executive Acts, Albert Levitt
Michigan Law Review
The relation of the judiciary to the executive branch of the Government is a perplexing one. According to the Constitution, the government of the United States is threefold in character, legislative, executive and judicial. Each of these is supposed to be independent of the others. One cannot usurp the function of any one of the others. At the same time, this is a "Government of laws and not of men." It is equally true that this is a government of laws and not of political subdivisions or of the subdivisions of governmental mechanisms. Legislators, executives and judiciary must abide by …
Conflict Of Laws Rules As Constitutional Limitations
Conflict Of Laws Rules As Constitutional Limitations
Michigan Law Review
With the constant growth of the United States as a commercial nation, it has been inevitable that state lines should figure in business transactions to an ever diminishing extent. Business relations, keeping pace with the rapid development of modem means of transportation, have increasingly assumed an interstate aspect. With this extension of commercial dealings, the question of the legal rights of the parties so engaged has frequently arisen. Diversity of local rules of law has led to much litigation and disagreement. Differences in local rules might be overcome through the services of competent commercial lawyers, and contracts might then be …
Constitutional Law-Jury Trial For Contempt-Constitutionality Of Clayton Act
Constitutional Law-Jury Trial For Contempt-Constitutionality Of Clayton Act
Michigan Law Review
The defendants, striking employees of a railway company, were proceeded against in a federal district court for contempt in violating a preliminary injunction, and demanded a jury trial under the Clayton Act (c. 323, 38 STAT. 738, sec. 21, 22), which provides that in cases of wilful disobedience of "any lawful writ, process, order, rule, decree, or command of any District court of the United States or any court of the District of Columbia by doing any act or thing" forbidden, if such act or thing also constitutes a criminal offense under any statute of the United States or law …
Crimes-Arrest-Reasonable Cause To Believe
Crimes-Arrest-Reasonable Cause To Believe
Michigan Law Review
The admission of evidence was objected to, in a recent case, on the ground that it had been illegally secured. Officers had arrested the defendant without a warrant, on a charge of illegally transporting liquor. He was in fact guilty of the offense for which arrested, but contended that the evidence secured by the arrest could not be used. The circuit court of appeals phrased the issue thus : ''Was there probable cause for the officers to believe (that the felony was being committed), or were the facts sufficient to give rise merely to a suspicion thereof? If the former, …
Constitutional Law-Restricting Liberty Without Due Process Of Law-Extorted Confessions
Constitutional Law-Restricting Liberty Without Due Process Of Law-Extorted Confessions
Michigan Law Review
Of recent years the administration of criminal justice has increased many-fold, owing to the constantly increasing size of our great cities and the period of growing social unrest in which we find ourselves. Public opinion has demanded a more effective mode of dealing with those who break the law with seeming impunity. In view of this attitude it is only natural that in a particularly baffling crime the police should seek to obtain some clue of the criminals by grilling suspects. This has resulted in many cases in acts which to say the least are over-zealous. In a recent case …
Distinction Between Governmental And Proprietary Functions Of Municipal Corporations, Delmar W. Doddridge
Distinction Between Governmental And Proprietary Functions Of Municipal Corporations, Delmar W. Doddridge
Michigan Law Review
There are many places in the law where the making of a distinction has resulted in a difficulty in application that has greatly increased litigation, but there are few places where this is more true than in the distinction made between the governmental and the proprietary functions of municipal corporations. The distinction has taken a firm grip upon the law of municipal corporations and seems well settled, although its propriety as applied to particular subjects may be doubted. The terminology of the distinction is in itself productive of doubt, the function or duty in the one branch being denominated "governmental", …
Constitutional Validity Of Statute Barring Negroes From Primary Elections
Constitutional Validity Of Statute Barring Negroes From Primary Elections
Michigan Law Review
The history of suffrage in the South during the last thirty-five years has been largely a story of the adoption and administration of discriminatory regulations devised to catch the negro without debarring any considerable number of white people. This legal disfranchisement has been accomplished by property or educational qualifications possessed generally by whites but not by negroes, or by giving a great deal of discretion to election and registration officials, who, understanding what is expected of them, find quite uniformly that the negroes do not meet the requirements while the white applicants generally do. How the letter of the Fifteenth …
