tended by a large an enthusiastic audi
ence, fully three -fourths of whom, after
the meeting, surrounded Mr.. Martin
congratulating him upon his speech and
assuring him OF their support.
Mr.. Martin here, among other things,
took occasion to score Governor HaW :
ley because of his veto of measures
passed by the last legislature giving
the wife equal rights in community
property with husbands. He declared
that no matter how grave were the rea :
sons given by Governor Hawley for
this veto, his reasons could not have
been sufficient to justify such veto
"Our laws" he said, follow the law OF
bygone ages when women were pre-
sumed to be incompetent to deal with
property matters and when the control
and disposition of all property was
vested in the husband"
On this point Mr. Martin said In part
as follows:
"Under the law Of Idaho, as It now Is
all property acquired by either husband
or wife before marriage and that ac-
quired by either after marriage by gift
devise or descent. Is separate property
All property acquired by either husband
or wife after marriage. unless acquired
