HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS.
HON. WALLER BAKER MAKES A
FEW OBSERVATIONS.
what the Probable Intention Of the
Trainers Of the Constitution
Was - should lie Some
Modification.

Speciui Dlspatcn.
Waco. July 1.--Hon. Waller S. Baker
expresses his views regarding a mqdlf-
cation OF the homestead exemption law
in cities, In the forthcoming issue Of
the Southern Trade Mr. Baker says:
Among the many reforms advocated
by the Southern Trade. encouraging
the growth and development OF our
state. there nre none more important
than that of clearly defining and rea-
sonably reducing our urban homestead
exemption. Our constitution defines it
as follows:
THE homestead in q city, town or
village. shall consist OF lot or lots not
TO exceed in value $4,000 at the time OF
their designation as homestead, with
out reference to the value Of any i'm
provements thereon; provided, that the
same shat, be used for the purpose Of
a home or as place to exercise the
calling or business OF the head of q
family" art. 10. sec. 5l)
The constitution exempts from fore
ed sale not only the lot or lots and the
home or residence Of the family thereon
located. but also exempts the lot or
lots and the place OF business thereon
located. II used by the head of the
family for a place of business Nor
need the lot or lots on which the resi-
dence Is located be adjacent 10 the
lot or lots on which the plac e of bust
ness is located, but may be separate
ana apart. the residence In the suburbs,
the place Of business in the heart OF the
city Chief Justice Stayton happily
constructs this section OF the constitu-
ilnn as fnllnNN..

The remedy, in my humble Juig-
meut, is to measure tie homestead ex-
emption in dollars by giving it maxi
mum value and rendering the excess
Of this value subject to the payment Of
debts. This would give the creditor
the right to sell the homestead aud
apply this excess and simply force the
debtor TO lwer in more humble home
a morey value win clearly and unmis-
takably define the homestead Every
one in trade will know its meaning. 1t
viii be equal and uniform in its effect,
bearing alike upon everyone. The
maximum value OF the homestead is a
matter OF detail. Our people have all
ways favored liberal exemptions But
whatever the exemption may he IL
should remain as 1t Is now, free from
forced sale, except for purchase money
taxes and labor and material liens
fixed as provided by law. And the hus-
band should tie Joined by the wife In
all sales OF the homestead, and all
m, rtgases or pretended sales thereof
absolutely void. The proposed reform
can Only be accomplished by a constl-
tutional convention (which Is very
much needed for other purposes) or by
an amendment TO the constitution sub
mitted by the Legislature for the action
OF the people.
The Eject.
Of this reform win be generally felt.

state generally. and particularly by
