RepresentatIve-Eiect Of Shelby coun-
ty Has Bill Which Removes ,isa-
bility inflicted by Present Statutes,
Permitting Control Of own Properly


MEMPHIS, Dec. 27.L. d. Bejach
representative-elect from Shelby
county In the next legislature, has
prepared a Bill to remove the disahiI
tiles inflicted upon married women by
the present statutes. and which will
permit them to have absolute control
Of their own property.
The salient feature Of this bill
reads as follows:
Married women are hereby fully
emancipated from all disability on ac-
count of coverture, and the common
law as to the disabilities of married
women and it's effect upon the rights
Of property OF the wife is totally abro-
gated, and marriage shall not impose
any disability or incapacity upon a
woman as to the ownership, accuisi-
tion or disposition Of aaspperty of any
sort, nor as to her capacity to make
contracts and do all acts in reference
to property which she could lawful
~ II she were not married, or hereaf-
ter to be married, shall have the same
capacity to hold, acquire, manage,
control or use, enjoy and dispose Of
all property, real and personal, in pos
session or expectancy, and to make
any contract In reference to 1t, and
TO bind herself personally, and to sue
and be sued, with all the rights and
liabilities incident thereto, as II she
were not married."
This legislation is being demanded
BY the Tennessee Federation OF Wo-
mems Clubs, and much literature has |
been issued in favor OF the plan. Sim
liar bills have been introduced at
mayn legislatures in the past, but
have never emerged beyond commit
tee rooms. The ladies believe this
time they have enough votes pledged
In either house to insure the safe
passage OF the Bejach bill.

bodies: Board of Trustees, a Board
of National Councillors, a Council of
Governors, Council of Commission
ers, and a Board of Advisors.
The Council of Governors of the
National Highway Association is ap-
pointed for life. Appointments as
members of it have been accepted by
