NEW MEXICO WOMEN
WANT A NEW LAW
Would Have Their Property Rights Bet
ter Protected Than They Are
Under Present Laws.

Santa Fe. y. NJ. March GA meeting
was held mere last night under the
auspices of the legislative conInlttees
Of the state federation and the santa
Fe WOman's club Attorney general f
W. Clancy. judge T. g ABBOTT ana
judge j. R. McFie gave excellent legal
advice on the question OF the property
rights of married women IN New Mex
1t was stated by attorney general
Clancy that there was no money limit
on the homestead so long as IL could be
truly stated as a homestead 1t could
be worth $4,000 or 100000. Mr. Clancy
also stated that he favored the adOp-
ton OF some plan that would untangle
the law as IL now IS and that the OLD
civil or Spanish code was very falr
but he thought the question could be
handled as a legal partnership between
husband and wife with one party nav
ing the power of attorney to handle all
business. This would usually be the
husband of course, but could be ar
ranged TO the satisfaction OF the con-
tracing parties as in other partner
ships
OF the matter lies in equalizing the in
heritance of communal property
whether it be husband or wife who is
survivor. As the law now is the nus
band gets all the communal property on
the death of the wife while the wife
only gets a portion. This works in
manner to disinherit the children of the

Judge j. r. McFie thinks the women

code. This. he stated. is so well un-
derstOod by the majority of New Mexi-
cans and as its "Wife's first DOVER
rulings are so fair. amounting to a
lien or first mortgage on communal
property. this law could be reinstated
with benefit, he said.
The flaws pointed out the women by
these lawyers Were
l. A man can sell communal prop
erty without his wife'S signature.
. Upon the death of the wife the
husband inherits all the communal
property.
g. Upon the death Of the husband.
the wife inherits only part Of this prop
erty.
4 A woman's children as her heirs
can be defrauded of possession of their
mothers share of communal property
These points are to be considered
again at the meeting of the New Mex
leo state federation Of WOman's clubs
in ALBUQUERQUE, at which time it is ex-
peCted that a law that will be adequate
can be adopted for which the support
of all the women Of New Mexico viii be
