Extract

The total number of cases arising under state constitutions this year is substantially larger than last year. The bulk of the increase seems to fall in the area of civil rights, particularly procedural rights, although there is some increased activity in areas of state and local government as well. The cases fall readily into the general pattern followed in last year's survey.

I. GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION

1. State Government. The standing and circumstances necessary to enable a party to secure a decision on the constitutionality of a statute were discussed by the highest courts of four states. In 1947, the Tennessee legislature passed an Anti-Closed Shop Act which was promptly attacked by a union recognized by the NLRB as exclusive bargaining agent in the defendant plant. A county chancery court upheld the statute against arguments that it violated the state and federal constitution. Before the day fixed for hearing on appeal, the union requested that the appeal be dismissed, a request resisted by the employer and the attorney-general. It is clear from the argument on the request that both parties were seeking an adjudication on the federal question from the federal Supreme Court. Evidently, however, the union decided to press the matter to the latter court in a different and more favorable controversy. In this case, since the lower court upheld the constitutionality of the law, the public interest, it was said, would not be impaired by dismissal. From the precedents cited, however, it seems likely that if the lower court decision had been against the law's constitutionality, the Supreme Court would have refused the request. The same court also held that where the defendant has attacked the constitutionality of a statute unsuccessfully in a criminal trial, he many not raise the same questions in a civil case brought against him, even when the prior adjudication was made in an unpublished opinion.

23 Smith v. McMichael, 45 S.E. (2nd) 431 (Ga., Dec., 1947). The act under attack had been introduced under the old constitution, which had no such requirement, and was passed after the constitution of 1945 went into operation. The chief justice dissented from the opinion. See also State v. Nagel, 28 N.W. (2nd) 665 (N.D., Aug., 1947), where the question was discussed collaterally.

27 State v. Fernandina Port Auth., 32 So. (2nd) 328 (Fla., Oct., 1947). The court indicates a willingness to ignore this limitation and question the decision in Cantwell v. St. Petersburg Port Auth., 155 Fla. 651, 21 So. (2nd) 139 (1945), holding unconstitutional a statute delegating power to establish a ferry. Cf. Cragar v. Thompson, 205 S.W.

31 State ex rel. Rich v. Garfield Co. et al., 188 P. (2nd) 1004 (Mont., Jan., 1948). The assessed valuation of the land involved was $175. At public sale, it brought $1,000. This seemed to convince the court that sale at the former figure would be a gift. Compare Bd. of Commrs. v. Shaw, 182 P. (2nd) 507 (Okla., June, 1947), where state sale of land free of delinquent taxes previously used by the state, and on which counties had claims for delinquent taxes, was held not to be a gift, even though the state appropriated $20,000 to the county to compensate it for its loss.

35 See School Dist. v. Hodge, 183 P. (2nd) 575 (Okla., July, 1947), where the title was an almost complete index to the statute.

36 Where the title referred to the sale of county obligations for the construction or alteration of county buildings, and the body of the act provided only for constructing school buildings and the purchase of land therefore, there was no deception, Doyle v. King, 44 S.E. (2nd) 608 (S.C., Oct., 1947). See also Carter v. Life and Casualty Ins. Co., 29 So. (2nd) 716 (La. App., Mar., 1947).

41 Rein v. Johnson, 30 N.W. (2nd) 548 (Neb., Dec., 1947). The constitution requires that appropriations unspent at the close of the fiscal quarter after the next legislative session revert to the general fund. The legislature here reallocated only a portion of such reverted funds.

48 Cobb v. South Carolina Nat'l. Bank, 43 S.E. (2nd) 465 (S.C., July, 1947). The North Carolina court decided the other way in In re Sylivant, 212 N.C. 343, 193 S.E. 422 (1937), and it took a statute to change the rule. See In re Jeffress, 223 N.C. 273, 25 S.E. (2nd) 845 (1943). In Indiana, the court held that its rule governing appeals was changed by a statute which required a $50 deposit; that “appeal” could be construed to cover review of workmen's compensation decisions, Square D. Co. v. O'Neal, 72 N.E. (2nd) 654 (Ind., Apr., 1947). See also In re Diaz, 31 So. (2nd) 195 (La., May, 1947). See contra, City of Hutchinson v. Wagoner, 186 P. (2nd) 243 (Kan., Nov., 1947).

71 McCartin v. School Comm., 76 N.E. (2nd) 645 (Mass., Jan., 1948). This case held that the referendum did not apply to a resolution demoting certain school officers, since the resolution was an executive, not a legislative, act. Compare Guy v. Nelson, 44 S.E. (2nd) 775 (Ga., Oct., 1947), holding unconstitutional a statute governing removal of certain officers because it failed to provide for notice and hearing. Not so with respect to local government, however, Buttz v. Co. Ct., 72 N.E. (2nd) 225 (Ind., Apr., 1947).

72 Ashmore v. Greater Greenville Sewer Dist., 44 S.E. (2nd) 88 (S.C., Aug., 1947). Unconstitutionality was also based in part on the fact that inclusion on the board of officers of the local service clubs violated the equal protection clause of the constitution. Bonds issued by the district were held to be valid obligations, however, since their issuance had been confirmed by the legislature. See also Fraysure et al. v. Ky. Unemp. Comm., 202 S.W.

76 Ex parte Phyle, 186 P. (2nd) 134 (Cal., Nov., 1947). Two justices dissented. See contra, Ex parte Romero, 181 P. (2nd) 811 (N.M., June, 1947).

79 Permenter v. Younan, 31 So. (2nd) 387 (Fla., July, 1947). The court implied that the standards of the law were adequate only because the business involved was a privilege and not a right.

83 United Adv. Corp. v. Bd. of Adj., 56A (2nd) 406 (N.J., Dec., 1947). In this case, the order was issued under a provision of the law which was declared invalid as bearing no relation to the purpose of zoning. To the same general effect was Bern stein v. Smutz, 188 P. (2nd) 48 (Cal. App., Dec., 1947). See contra, Commonwealth v. Slome, 75 N.E. (2nd) 517 (Mass., Nov., 1947).

87 Compare Dierup v. Louisville, etc. Bd., 200 S.W. (2nd) 300 (Ky., Mar., 1947), holding that the separation principle does not apply to local government.

92 State v. Hines, 182 P. (2nd) 865 (Kan., June, 1947). The court distinguished this case from State ex rel. Rosensthal v. Storey, 144 Kan. 311, 58 P. (2nd) 1051 (1937), a case approving the grant of legislative power to the school superintendent, since the latter office is established by the constitution, which also authorizes the legislature to add to its duties by statute.
