OLSEN v. NEBRASKA EX REL. REFERENCE & BOND ASSOCIATION 313 U.S. 236 (1941)

Sustaining a Nebraska statute regulating fees charged by private employment agencies, the Supreme Court specifically reversed ribnik v. mcbride (1928). Justice william o. douglas reiterated earlier dissents of Justices oliver wendell holmes (see tyson brother v. banton, 1927) and louis d. brandeis (see new state ice company v. liebmann, 1932), declaring that the need and appropriateness of legislation concerning the public interest ought to be left to state legislatures.
