THE GOVERNORS
MESSAGE
Extracts From Governor Haw-
ley'S Address to Idaho'S Law
Makers---Contains Many Good
Recommendations.

readers who may not take daily
paper we give below part Of
Governor Hawley's message te
the state legislature. Lack o1
space and time prevents oul
giving the message in full.
"The defects, omissions, con.
tradictions and absurdities OF
our state constitution have since
it's adoption been a continual
source of regret to our citizens
and doubt to the legal profession.
A constitutional convention must
be called in the near future. ]
do not recommend action to be
taken this session but believe it
proper to call the attention of
our people to the subject so that
future action can be carefully
considered before hand.
Marriage and Divorce Law.
"The law regulating divorces
should require years residence
as a prerequisite to suit instead
of six months as is now required,
and the provisions of section 131,
California civil code, for an in
terlocutory decree of \ divorce,
not to become final for six
months, should be adopted, in
stead of our system making a
marriage polygamous unless the
former marriges had been dis
solved for more than six months.
This provision, however, might
be retained with some alterations
so as to apply to foreign divorces
granted in states which have no
provision for an interlocutory de-
cree. No appeal should be al
lowed from the final decree, but
an appeal should be granted
from the interloctuory decree.
The changes in our statutes
would prevent this state longer
being a Mecca for discontented
spouces from other states, and
render effectual our own divorce
laws, which contemplate there
should be no marriage for six
months after decree. y
1.-The property rights of hus-
band and wife should be further
adjusted. The wife should be
given full contractual power, but
her contracts should bind only
her separate property.
"As the law is now framed, a
husband must, upon the death
of his wife, procure probate of
community property and divide
that property with his children,
unless the wife has left a will
vesting the control of the prop
.erty in him. The majority of
people, and especially it is true
of women, do not make wills,
and to require every husband up
on the death of his wife to pro-
bate the community property,
settle up his business and ac-
count to the minor children for
one half Of the property, and
placing him under the limitations
and responsibilities as guardian
ship, works an injustice which
must occur much more frequent
ly than those instances in which
a husbrnd on the death of his
wife would prove a traitor to her
and their children by abondon-
ing them in some new alliance. y
Sunday Rest Law.
''The eighth session of the
state legislature enacted what is
generally known as the Sunday
rest law. This statute is incor-
porated in the revised statutes
sections 6823 to 6S27. While
perhaps a worthy object was
sought to be attained by its pas
sage the provisions of the act
itself are in many respects both
absurd and contradictory and the
matter has twice been before the
supreme court requiring con.
