  • Sino-US Relations and Ulysses S. Grant's Mediation
    Looking for a Friend: Sino-U.S. Relations and Ulysses S. Grant’s Mediation in the Ryukyu/Liuqiu 琉球 Dispute of 1879 Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad Michael Berry Graduate Program in East Asian Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Thesis Committee: Christopher A. Reed, Advisor Robert J. McMahon Ying Zhang Copyright by Chad Michael Berry 2014 Abstract In March 1879, Japan announced the end of the Ryukyu (Liuqiu) Kingdom and the establishment of Okinawa Prefecture in its place. For the previous 250 years, Ryukyu had been a quasi-independent tribute-sending state to Japan and China. Following the arrival of Western imperialism to East Asia in the 19th century, Japan reacted to the changing international situation by adopting Western legal standards and clarifying its borders in frontier areas such as the Ryukyu Islands. China protested Japanese actions in Ryukyu, though Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) leaders were not willing to go to war over the islands. Instead, Qing leaders such as Li Hongzhang (1823-1901) and Prince Gong (1833-1898) sought to resolve the dispute through diplomatic means, including appeals to international law, rousing global public opinion against Japan, and, most significantly, requesting the mediation of the United States and former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885). Initially, China hoped Grant’s mediation would lead to a restoration of the previous arrangement of Ryukyu being a dually subordinate kingdom to China and Japan. In later negotiations, China sought a three-way division of the islands among China, Japan, and Ryukyu.

  • The Rise and Fall of the Millionaire Tax in Massachusetts by David Nagle and Joseph Donovan (July 11, 2018, 2:00 PM EDT)
    Portfolio Media. Inc. | 111 West 19th Street, 5th Floor | New York, NY 10011 | www.law360.com Phone: +1 646 783 7100 | Fax: +1 646 783 7161 | [email protected] The Rise And Fall Of The Millionaire Tax In Massachusetts By David Nagle and Joseph Donovan (July 11, 2018, 2:00 PM EDT) In a decision released June 20, 2018, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ended a three-year effort to amend the Massachusetts Constitution and impose an additional tax on individuals with income exceeding $1 million.[1] The court’s opinion addresses the procedure for amending the constitution via initiative petition, as opposed to the merits of a graduated income tax.[2] In analyzing the “related subjects” requirement for such initiatives, and concluding that this initiative failed to contain subjects “which are related or which are mutually dependent,”[3] the court’s opinion strikes a balance between direct and representative democracy, while providing a roadmap for future initiatives and highlighting their importance in lawmaking. David Nagle Background The Massachusetts Constitution has authorized the legislature to levy a personal income tax since 1915 but requires that rates be uniform “upon incomes derived from the same class of property.”[4] “Whatever may be the merits of the system commonly described as the graduated income tax, it is prohibited by article 44” of the amendments to the Massachusetts Constitution.[5] Massachusetts currently taxes ordinary income and long-term capital gains at 5.1 percent, and short-term gains and gains from

Fifty years in the Northwest http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.01070 Library of Congress At the age of nineteen years, I landed on the banks of the Upper Mississippi, pitching my tent at Prairie du Chien, then (1836) a military post known as Fort Crawford. I kept memoranda of my various changes, and many of the events transpiring. Subsequently, not, however, with any intention of publishing them in book form until 1876, when, reflecting that fifty years spent amidst the early and first white settlements, and continuing till the period of civilization and prosperity, itemized by an observer and participant in the stirring scenes and incidents depicted, might furnish material for an interesting volume, valuable to those who should come after me, I concluded to gather up the items and compile them in a convenient form.
