General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Strickley v. Highland Boy Gold Mining Co., 200 U.S. 527 (1906)
Strickley v. Highland Boy Gold Mining Company No. 172 Argued January 25, 1906 Decided February 19, 1906 200 U.S. 527
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF UTAH
Syllabus
If a state statute as construed by the highest court of the state is constitutional, this Court will follow that construction.
There is nothing in the Fourteenth Amendment which prevents a state in carrying out its declared public policy from requiring individuals to make to each other, on due compensation, such concessions as the public welfare demands, and the statute of Utah providing that eminent domain may be exercised for railways and other means to facilitate the working of mines is not unconstitutional. Clark v. Nash, 198 U.S. 361, followed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
