Debtor Can Hold Two Homesteads

A late decision handed down by
the present Supreme court, holds that
under the present provisions of the
homestead law. debtor can claim ex-
9la.;tion Tor both his family home
stead and his place of business.
This decision shows that, under the
present law. there is absolutely no
chance for collections of any kind
when the debtor is dishonest. The
truly honest man does not desire to
seek the protection of this law and
only asks for competent exemption
for the protection of those who are
dependent upon him for living.
The present homestead law therefore
exempts the fraudulent bankrupt from
paying his just debts. and encourages
recklessness in business. The bust
ness schemer and the professional
deadbeat are alike sheltered by this
law. which does not benefit the hon
est mamie will sell his property 10
meet his obligations anyway=but
just provides a wide avenue of escape
for those who make their creditors
pay for their mistakes. A $4,000
exemption would afford the honest
man all the protection he would ask
for.
It is laws OF this nature which are
holding back the financial tide which
is held in waiting by the capitalist
and promoter of industrial enter
prises, until such time that business
can be conducted upon business
basis, and with some surety that dis
honest methods and sharp practice
will be punished by the courts
