ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses that the decision rests on state grounds is conclusive, and it should not to be stopped to inquire concerning it. The united action of people, legislature and court is clear beyond reasonable controversy, that rights secured by the Federal Constitution have been violated. The Supreme court of North Dakota was examined on the grounds upon which held this legislation not to amount to a taking of property without due process of law. It answered the contention that the industries involved were private in their nature, by stating that all of them belonged to the State of North Dakota, and therefore the activities authorized by the legislation were to be distinguished from business of a private nature having private gain for its objective. As to the Home Building Act, that was sustained because of the promotion of the general welfare in providing homes for the people, a large proportion of tenants moved from place to place.
