II is not now valid. If 1t is valid, IT
should apply to dover also. Why should
courtesy give n life interest in all OF
the Tife's real estate and dover only
life interest in a third of the hus-
bands realty? Why should a husband
get all OF his deceased wifc's person
atty, and a wife only third or half
of her deceased husbands personality
Modern Ideas of equity should tend
to eaualize the reciprocal rights of hus-
band and wife. Would It not be we'll
for some of our women lobbyists TO
busy themselves In attaining that re-
suit. Virginia lays far in the rear OF
most of her sister States in that re-
gard. Nearly all of them have abol-
ishcd the common law requisite OF Issue
in the case of courtesy. Most OF them
give husband and wife equal rights IN
each others property. Quite num-
Der allow fee simple interests In the
place OF estates for life, THUS saving
much Inconvenience and the cost OF
double partition.
1t might he good idea for some
member of the General Assembly to
compare the laws of the various States
and present comprehensive measure
dealing with dover and courtesy in q
thoroughly modern fashion. At least
present such statute TO the LeElslu-
ture at its next meeting. with the OPP
portunity for II to be Scrutinized at
the intervening sessions of tho State
and LEGAL bar associations.

and sent to various Senators and Dell

The Hills that pass, as a rule. and which
ought to pass, are taose which have
been carefully thought out and pre-
pared before the session begins or very
soon thereafter. 1t would save many
a legislator from embarrassment IL he
