HUSBAND AND
WIFE EQUAL
PARTNERS

Guthrie, April 16.-There was a
spirited fight in the house yesterday
over the bill by Smith to regulate the
disposal Of community property ac-
quired and owned by husband and
wife This bill provides that all prop
erty belonging to the husband or wife
before marriage, and that acquired
afterwards by gift as well as all in
crease Of such property shall remain
separately the property of the hus-
band or wife respectively; all prop
erty acquired during marriage shall be
regarded as community property or
common to husband and wife, except
that received by gift, devise, Of des-
cent, and during the coverture may
not be disposed OF by one without the
consent Of the ether, except personal
property that all community property
shall be liable for debts Of either hus-
band or wife contracted during the
marriage.
The distribution OF the property is
very different from the Oklahoma law
as it now stands and occasioned a
hard fight from those Legislators who
believe that the present laws are suffi-
cient The bill provides that at the
death Of either husband or wife, all
community property shall go to the
survivor if there are no children.
If there is a child, the survivor
shall be entitled to one half, and the
child or children the remaining half.
