It so happens that in practically. every State in the Union there is concurrent jurisdiction given to various courts and exercised by all of them at one and the same time. Concurrent power is synonymous with concurrent jurisdiction. Our Federal district court enjoys concurrent jurisdiction and power with our State circuit courts to try naturalization cases conferring the rights of citizenship upon foreign)orn citizens. One has just as much power. authority. and Jurisdiction as the other. though each acting with the same purpose. While on the circuit bench in the State of Texas I had much experience in trying defendants charged with violating the prohibition statutes passed by the legislature.
