The article presents abstracts of various papers related to legislation of the U.S. One of the papers discussed is "The Constitutionality of the Pipe-Line Amendment." By an amendment to the Interstate Commerce Act adopted in 1906 all persons engaged in the transportation of oil by interstate pipelines are placed on the footing of common carriers. A recent decision of the Commerce Court holding this amendment invalid because it applies to pipelines, which have never professed to carry for the public, presents a constitutional question of considerable importance. Another paper discussed is "Martial Law." Military jurisdiction is of three kinds. The universal demand for security to person and property, which has everywhere, expressed itself in the form of constitutional guarantees against interference with individual rights.
