Citation: Smith, A.C. United States tariff history. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1897. ; Morse Department of Special Collections ; Introduction: In all countries it has been found a necessity to raise money for government expenses by means of a tax on imports. It is found that this indirect tax is by far the most practical method. The duties are collected by the revenue officers hired by the government. All countries are chiefly dependent on such a tax for means to run their national affairs. This tariff question has proved itself as great a problem as ever any able body of men have cared to solve. In our country it has been amply proved so. We employ the best legislators of our country that we can procure and give their all the support we can. These men have studied diligently the needs of the country. Indeed they have been doing this for over a century but there is still this problem unsolved. We have had numerous tariff bills framed but not one which has ever proved itself satisfactory to the people for any length of time.

Citation: Smith, Fredrick John. Socialism in the United States. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1895. ; Morse Department of Special Collections ; Introduction: It seems almost incredible that in a country where there is freedom with all its attendant advantages and possibilities; where there is such an immense acreage of tillable land; where not only the precious metals, gold and silver, but also the more common ones, lead, iron, copper, and zinc are dug from the earth in such abundance; where the school system approaches the ideal; where religion and politics are matters of opinion; in a word in a country where all those things are present which make for man's happiness and well being, there should be a feeling of unrest among its people. This, nevertheless, is the case in our land today. There has for years past been brewing a conflict in which has been arrayed on the one hand the laborer and the employed on the other the capitalist and the employer. Reasons for this conflict have been given by various schools of thinkers, prominent among them being the class called socialists, who hold that all this difference is attributable to capitalistic productions in competition in other words. Ever since the socialist have made their appearance in the United States there have been vague and erroneous ideas as to what their teachings are. They have been accused of holding every kind of belief, from the most absurd to those so impracticable that they could only have originated in the mind of one demented. By many they have been classed side by side with the anarchist, when the fact of the matter is that these two schools are diametrically opposite. The one would abolish all government, while the other would place all power in the hands of government. This confusion is no doubt due as much to the lack of unity among those professing to be socialists as to a lack of understanding on the part of the people.

Law in the United States, Second Edition, is a concise presentation of the salient elements of the American legal system designed mainly for jurists of civil law backgrounds. It focuses on features of American law likely to be least familiar to jurists from other legal traditions, such as American common law, the federal structure of the U.S. legal system, and the American constitutional tradition. The use of comparative law technique permits foreign jurists to appreciate the American legal system in comparison with legal systems with which they are already familiar. Chapters in the second edition also cover such topics as American civil justice, criminal law, jury trial, choice of laws and international jurisdiction, the American legal profession, and the influence of American law in the global legal order

The United States trade deficit grows larger each year.' What the trade deficit means and what is to be done in response to its growth shifts with administrations and over time. Nevertheless, since World War II, the United States' general position on international trade has been unbridled support for free access to free markets. Now, the world economy is changing and our economy is responding. When the international trade regime we work under began cross border trade meant steel and oil and cotton. Now, our Gross Domestic Product and employment comes from services as much as anything else. Just as the United States supported its manufacturers seeking to export goods in the last century, the United States government supports the new U.S. economy by being at the forefront of the push to open foreign markets to services. The Curb Center is dedicated to the study of the arts and public policy. Not just the high arts that concern Old World European ministries of culture, but also the street arts, the market arts, the arts that feed into our Gross Domestic Product and employment rates. Further, the Curb Center is concerned with both self-conscious public policy and public policy that comes from seemingly culture neutral government functions. In the case of the United States trade deficit and our government's policy to open markets to services, we see culture and public policy combine in our push to maintain world dominance in the film industry.

Defendants, citizens of the United Kingdom, Bermuda, the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States, were operators of a sailing vessel on the high seas that was registered in the United Kingdom and flying the UK flag. Defendants were indicted for possession of several tons of marijuana, with intent to distribute, following a search and seizure of their vessel by the United States Coast Guard. Initially, the court granted defendants' request for an evidentiary hearing. However, upon further consideration, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (per Legge, J.) held: that the court had proper jurisdiction, and that defendants' motions to suppress evidence obtained from the boarding, search and seizure of the vessel and to conduct an evidentiary hearing should be denied.
