The act as drawn also protects the
government against loss in the payment

lows the same means of mortgaging
the home voluntarily, as before. ex-
cept that both husband and wife must
agree. That is substantially the law
here now. because the husband must
consent to any sale or mortgage of
land of the wife.
I'VE think that the interests OF build

Is the principle behind the legislation.
I'VE therefore recommend that the
law may be passed.

enough and made motion to that eff

II think 1t is quite evident Senators
McCandless and Dickey have never been

Dowsett. IF they had, they would
know that the pawnbroker always
looked out for the pawnbroker When
a man went to a pawnbroker he was
