sort-I don't believe in that sort Of
thing-but l am going to refer to his
record whenever l please: 1t is my
privilege and I think 1t a duty. He
recommended to the last legislature
that they repeal sections 31O7. 31OS and
3109 of the code, which In effect prohibit
a married woman from conveying her
separate property, property that is ex-
clusively her own, unless her husband
signed the conveyance. on the ground
that those provisions Of the statute
were in conflict with another provision
Of the statute, which implicitly gave
the wife the right to convey it without
her husband joining in the conveyance
And he called attention to the CONTRA
dictory provisions of the law relating
to that matter and asked the legislature
to repeal those three sections, and the
Legislature did, and after the bill had
been passed the governor vetoed the
very bill he had recommended that leg
islature to pass. And when the legis-
lature passed the law which gave 20
the women Of this state a voice in the
disposition or encumbrance Of COM
munity property, the governor vetoed
that bill. Now, friends, that's a good
bill. A wife Is just as much entitled to
have her sayso about the disposition
Of community property as the husband;
she helps to accumulate 1t. She has
to be maintained out Of it. The chill
dren Of the family are to be maintained
and educated out Of it. And in my
judgment, the wife will come nearer to
mn nr
property under such circumstances
than the husband will ordinarily. That's
SO in my family anyway. daughter
and applause) But the governor We
toed that bill. And so some wives in
this state of Idaho in the last two
years have been robbed by the acts of
their husbands of all property upon
which she could rely for maintenance
and support. and some children In this
state have been robbed of the right OF
maintenance and education.
Another HawIey Veto.
"And he vetoed another bill. and that
was the bill which prohibited county
commissioners from grabbing a saloon
license outside of the limits of incor-
porated cities and towns Now, friends.
il a saloon is ever permitted at all. 1t
ought not to be permitted anywhere
outside of police protection. Let me
tell you what l mean by that. Up in
the north end Before tell this story
l want to say word or two. The peo-
pie of the state of Idaho are all boost
ers, every one of them; at least l
haven't found any knockers in this
they are all boosters. You
people here think you have tire most
beautiful city in the world. and you
have a beautiful city. Then yonder at
Twin Falls they think the same thing.
And they aren't bit backward about
saying SO. And It is 40 all through the
state. Now, up in our county we have
one OF the things we are very proud of.
one of the most beautiful lakes i'm the
world. Down at the SOUTH end of that
lake Is a little village with old time,
people there--quiet. orderly;
at least It was until about the first of
August. And it was a place to which
some of the professors in our univer-
sity up here and some of the professors
in the agricultural college at Pullman.
and some of the people
from Spokane. and people from other
places went to enjoy rest and recrea-
ton, to hunt and fish and swim and
boat and have a good time, and the
fact that that was a nice little summer
resort attracted people of that class
there. But in July our board of county
granted two saloon IL
censes over there ana within week
after those saloon licenses were grant

places were taken by men In a drunken
or semi drunken condition; and I want
to tell you, my friends. that that place
Is almost "a hours away from a police

Its shame and a disgrace to the state
that bill which had for its object

credit for it. and he has actually mis-
