They will join with the great majority
of the Iowa bar in proclaining his UNI

fifth place. Unless he runs better at
the election he is deafeated as only
three are to be elected. The real back

Auto Taxation.

In the habeas corpus application Of
William Hoffert from Miner county, in
test Of automobile license act, In the
opinion Of Justice Policy. the question
OF Double Taxation which was made
one Of the main features of the case.
is disposed of by the holding that the
license fee required is not double taxa
ton, for the reason that 1t Is fee for
use Of the highways and not charge
against the machine itself, nor the
owner thereof.
That the individual may own any
number of motor driven vehicles,
and SO long as he confines their use
to his own premises, the license fee
does not apply. either to him as an
individual, nor to the machine which
he owns. II applies to the use OF the
motor driven vehicle upon the nigh
ways OF the state and such as police
regulation and not revenue meas
ure as contended by the applicant
That the fee so collected goes into
road fund and not into the general
funds for the general use. That it is
weli known fact that motor driven
vehicles which travel the highways
at high speed are more destructive
to highways than are horse driven
vehicles, and that their use materially
increases the expense 70 the public IN
maintenance of such highways. and
that 1t Is neither unreasonable moi

help pay the Increased cost

Laws and Women.

Although Eve lost Adam his garden
of Eden and Cleopatra, Anthony his
crown, nevertheless. the gallant are
still with u.s. Even though Helen of
Troy caused warfare for ten years and
the miiiiants are very active in Eng
land. still IN all ages and at all times
laws have been passed for the pro-
lection of the fairer sex. 1t is well
that such has been and is the case be-
cause the old laws in particular de-
MED women practically ali property
rights. Il was merely justice and fair
ness that other laws should have been
passed for the protection Of women.
Regardless of our views on questions
Of suffrage and the ike. women at the
present day are entitled to various pro-
tective laws; he law in this state ap-
plicable TO certain deserving husbands
is one of them.
Desertion and Divorce.
Desertion may be ground for
divorce but this can be taken advant-
age of by either Of the spouses; there
fore. desertion. when considering
grounds for divorce. is not a law par
ticularly applicable TO women. To
secure a divorce on the ground of de-
sertion the desertion must have been
% wilfuIl. CO for continuous period
! of two years, CD with complete dis
regard Of all the martial obligations
and. "a the party deserted must not
have been at fault or have consented
to such separation.
The Criminal Aspect.
There is, however, a criminal aspect
to desertion which is only applicable
to men, viz, any man who marries for
the purpose Of escaping prosecution for
seduction and afterwards deserts his
wife ~ithout good cause is guilty of a
misdemeanor.
The Reason,
The legislature Of this state took the
attitude that it was better a man
should marry the woman seduced than
! to have Legitimate offspring. There
| fore, statute was passed providing,
| IF, Def re Judgment on the Indictment,
the defendant marry the woman thus
seduced. 1t Is a bar to any further
prosecution for the offense."
! Often after a marriage under this
statute the husband would desert his
wife because ne did not marry her on
account OF his love or consideration for
/ her but az to save himself from a
sentence in the county Jail. The wife
thus deserted would practically al
ways be left pennies and be public
charge If her parents or relatives did
| not come tn the reseue.
| The Statute.
Therefore, another statute wa&
| passed which reads as follows: Every
man who shall marry any woman fol
the purpose Of escaping prosecution fol
j seductiOfi. and shall Afterwards desert

her without cause shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor and shall be
punished accordingly"
Other States.
The statute in this state differs from
those found in other states in that H.
is only applicable to husbands who
married SO as 10 escape prosecution for
seduction. A great many of the other
states attach criminal liability to all
husbands who desert their wives with
out cause
ConstitutionaIity.
The statute in this state has been
held constitutional on the ground that
since the state has waived the charge
of criminality on the condition of an
undertaking to discharge the obliga-
ton OF husband ii may prescribe
penalty if that condition is not lived
up to. In other words, the law says to
man who thus marries. You shall
not assume the obligation Of q hus-
band to avoid prosecution Of a crime,
and. after taking the benefits to your
self. disregard your assumed obligation
with impunity." Thus we see the
waiver Of criminal prosecution In the
first place is conditional upon the car
rying out OF the obligation of a hus-
band after marriage; the law is there
fore constitutional. because II involves
no denial of rights, but simply inn
poses liability for the doing Of speci-
fic acts.
Prosecution.
The man must have married the wo-
man to avoid prosecution for seduc-
ton. In other words, 1t is not abb
solutely necessary that there be
ht,f orrtS~ tsct
have taken place SO as to escape prose-
cution. The supreme court Of Iowa has
said. "the state has waived the charge
of criminality because OF an undertake
ing to discharge the obligation Of q
husband; and the waiver is conclusive

dictumo II, however, the husband de.
