Municipal Corporations - Rescission By Electorate Of Approval To Issue Bonds - Use Of Referendum Power To Prevent Action By The Majority, Robert P. Griffin S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
At their annual meeting, the voters of a Vermont city approved the issuance of municipal bonds to finance erection of a sewage disposal plant. Before further action was taken, a group of citizens, acting in accordance with a charter provision, presented the mayor with a petition containing one hundred signatures which demanded that a special meeting he called to vote on a proposal to rescind the approval previously given. The voters refused to rescind. Twice thereafter petitions were filed with the mayor asking that special meetings be called to reconsider the question, but on each of these occasions the petitions …

Constitutional Law-Equal Protection-State Restrictions In Nominations Of Candidates, David H. Armstrong S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The Progressive Party, unable to qualify as a political party for purposes of the Illinois primary election, sought to nominate candidates for state and national offices by petition. The Illinois Election Code provides that such nominating petitions shall include the signatures of at least 200 qualified voters from each of at least 50 counties in the state. Of the state's registered voters, 87 per cent reside in the 49 most populous counties. The State Officers Electoral Board found that the petitions were insufficient, and the Illinois Supreme Court denied a motion for leave to file a petition of mandamus to …
Constitutional Law - Validity Of Voting Machine In General Election - Constitutional Construction, Michigan Law Review
Constitutional Law - Validity Of Voting Machine In General Election - Constitutional Construction, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Pursuant to statutory provisions the fiscal court of Jefferson County, Kentucky, appropriated $1,000 for renting voting machines to be used in the general election of 1938. The county on relation of its attorneys filed suit for a declaratory judgment on the constitutionality of the statute. The relators appealed from a judgment declaring the act valid. Held, the statute authorizing the use of voting machines in popular elections is a violation of section 147 of the Kentucky Constitution which provides for a "secret official ballot, furnished by public authority to the voters at the polls, and marked by each voter …

Constitutional Law - Elections - Proportional Representation, Gerald M. Stevens
Constitutional Law - Elections - Proportional Representation, Gerald M. Stevens
Michigan Law Review
In November, 1936, the people of the city of New York voted to adopt a system of proportional representation for the election of members of the city council. Each borough was to elect its representatives at large rather than from single-member districts. Each voter was restricted to voting for one councilman; but he might indicate the order of his preference for as many candidates as he desired. Thus he should have marked his first choice by the numeral "1," his second "2," and similarly as many choices as he wished to express. By a system of vote-transferring his vote would …

Congressional Redistricting And The Constitution, Harold M. Bowman
Congressional Redistricting And The Constitution, Harold M. Bowman
Michigan Law Review
Is congressional redistricting by state legislatures an exercise of the lawmaking function, subject to the governor's veto power? Is fairness in such redistricting secured today either by federal statute or by the federal Constitution? Of these two questions, posed by recent events, the first has been completely answered; the second has been answered in part only -- breeding in its answer new and troublesome problems.

Constitutional Law -Elections - Constitutionality Of The Corrupt Practices Act-The Kohler Case
Michigan Law Review
The relator brought an action to test the right of the defendant Kohler to the office of governor of the state of Wisconsin, asserting that his election was invalid for violation of the Corrupt Practices Act, particularly in that he had expended more than $100,000 for political purposes in violation of the provision of the act limiting such expenditures for candidates for governor to $4,000. The defendant demurred to the petition, asserting that the Corrupt Practices Act is void and unconstitutional as applied to the governor because (1) the statute seeks to prescribe either qualifications for the office of governor …

Direct Primary Legislation In Michigan, Arthur C. Millspaugh
Direct Primary Legislation In Michigan, Arthur C. Millspaugh
Michigan Law Review
The first local direct nomination law in Michigan was passed ir 1901; the first general law in 1905. The public opinion, however, which looked to the abolition of the convention system of nomination, rather than to its legal regulation, had its inception as early as 1894. The unusually objectionable primaries of that year led to a pronounced but unorganized agitation for reform, in the course of which a few of the most radical proposed to abolish absolutely all conventions.1 The legislature of 1895 contented itself, however, with attempting the regulation of primaries and conventions, leaving most of the nominating machinery …
Legislating The Incumbent Out Of Office, W. Gordon Stoner
Legislating The Incumbent Out Of Office, W. Gordon Stoner
Michigan Law Review
Under the English common law the officer's right or interest in the office which he held was regarded as a property right, an incorporeal hereditament. Largely because of the inherent difference between the nature and incidents of the public office at common law and those of the public office in this country, this conception never gained general acceptance here. In a few cases, and particularly in the decisions of the courts of North Carolina, offices have been asserted to be the property of the rightful incumbent. In these decisions the officer's right has been regarded as less absolute, perhaps, than …
The Recall And The Political Responsibility Of Judges, W. F. Dodd
The Recall And The Political Responsibility Of Judges, W. F. Dodd
Michigan Law Review
The movement for the recall of State officers is one which has became important only within the past three or four years. The first application of the recall as a modem institution in the United States appears to have been in Los Angeles in 19o3, where the institution was adopted in the amendment of the charter framed by that city. From Los Angeles the recall as applicable only to municipal officers spread to other California cities, and has now been rather widely adopted in other States. The first State constitutional amendment with respect to the recall, that of California in …

Are Too Many Executive Officers Elective?, Bradley M. Thompson
Michigan Law Review
Michigan manage and conduct state affairs. No one would ship a dead dog over that line without having taken the precaution to skin the animal and save his hide. Listen to the conclusion of the whole matter. Give the people an opportunity to govern the state. Amend the constitution and provide for the election of just two state executive officers, a governor and a lieutenant governor. Give the governor power to appoint by and with the advice and consent of the senate, the other state officers now elected, with power to remove at will such officers to constitute his counsel …

How May Presidential Electors Be Appointed?, Bradley M. Thompson
Articles
For more than half a century presidential electors have been chosen upon a general ticket in all the states. This was not the uniform practice at first. Judge Cooley in the last number of the JOU11NAL makes it clear that at least four different methods were at first adopted, one of them, the "district system," being that selected by the last legislature of Michigan. Following Judge Cooley's article is one by Gen. B. M. Cutcheon attacking this system on two grounds: First, that it is in conflict with the Constitution of the United States; and, secondly, that it is mischievous …
