Marriage and Money

For our readers who are contem-
plating matrimony, and we understand
there are number, we publish the fol-
lowing from the Cleveland Plain Deal
er, treating on the mistake made by
not having an understanding as to
finances:
One of the most prolific causes of
matrimonial unhappiness is the ques-
tion of finance. When young couple
are courting they rarely, if ever,
think of the obligations and response
bilities involved in the state to which
they are both looking forward in such
happy anticipation. They can see
nothing but the bright perennial sun
shine. They never dream of the pos
sibility of dull days to say nothing
about possible periods of stress and
storm.
There would be far more sunshine
in married life than there is if the
parties themselves took the proper
means beforehand for insuring it. One
of the most important things, if not
the most important, on which to have
clear understanding before marriage
is this question of finance.
The man ought to be perfectly
straight with his future wife in re-
gard to his resources. Many men lead
their sweethearts to believe that they
are In much better position than
they really are. The folly of creating
such an idea as this is apparent to
any sensible person, and the disas-
trous results of it are easily fore
seen. Others give the lady no idea at
all as to what their means are, and
this often leads to trouble.
It is not sufficient, however, only
for the man to let the girl know what
his income is, but he must also let her
know what proportion of that he is
willing to allow her for housekeeping
purposes. The question as to what the
proportion should be is crucial one.
That there should be such an allow
ance goes without saying, for the
man who does not intend to trust his
future wife with the control of the
household expenditures should never
marry at all. Not only must the ac-
tual amount of the household allow
ance be settled, but the question of
what that allowance is to cover should
also be settled.

PLAN is TO REPEAL
FREE TEXTBOOK LAW

Because the free textbook law,
passed by the last legislature, permits
a school district to furnish free text
books to pupils in private as well as
public schools, the judiciary commit
tee of the house has introduced a bill
to repeal it. Representative Schue-
bel, early in the session, introduced
a bill to amend the law so that books
could only be provided free to pupils
of the public schools. After con5id-
ering it the committee decided it
would precipitate a fight between
the public and private schools in the
legislature, and concluded it would
be wisest to wipe the law from the
statute books.

VOTING AWAY FROM HOME
Is AIM OF SENATE BILL

Salem, Ore, Jan. 20.-Under the
terms of a bill introduced, voters
absent from their home precincts on
election day may, in accordance with
specific procedure, vote for presi-
Dental electors, state officers and
constitutional amendments. 1t is as
serted that the measure is in the in
terest of travelling salesmen and 9th
ers who find it impossible always to
be at home on election day. A GER
tificate system is contemplated, each
person who anticipates being absent
from his registration precinct on
election day being required to pro-
cure in advance a certificate from
the election officials, then being per-
mitted to vote wherever he may be,
on exhibiting it. This certificate,
duly indorsed and showing a vote
has been cast, must be returned to
the election officials of the voters
home precinct, in order that he may
not return and also vote there. The
bill will be closely examined on the
suspicion that it may contain a joker
which would allow ballot stuffing,
though the author himself, having
no legal education, might not be
aware of the fact.

Obituary.

Mrs. Lydia F. Hunt. wife of Edgar
B. Hunt, died at her home on Harri-
son street at a. m. on last Tuesday,
after an illness of nine weeks dura-
ton. There are two sons in the fam
lily, one aged ten and the other eigh-
teen years. The funeral was held
Wednesday afternoon from the house
of the deceased, Rev. Vallandingham
OF the Christian church officiating.
Interment in Mountain View ceme-
terry. A large number of friends and
relatives were present to pay their
last respects to one whom they had
learned to love for her many esti-
mable good traits.
Mrs. Lydia Florence Hunt was
born near Monticello. Ind, and grew
to womanhood there. When she had
arrived at the age of 80 she was
united in marriage to Edgar B. Hunt
of the same city, and for few years
they remained in that locality, going
from there to the northeastern part
of the state, then to Utah, from there
to Idaho. and finally to Ashland, ar
irving here about nine years ago.
Mrs. Hunt, never a very robust
woman. had seemed to improve in
health since coming here until a few
weeks ago, when she was taken i'll

do seemed to help her. She steadily
grew weaker until Tuesday morning,
when she passed away.
She leaves behind to mourn her
loss a husband, two sisters and two
sons. She also had one brother and
two half-brothers. one of whom is
living in Ashland.
Mrs. Hunt had, by her pleasant
ways and staunch Christian charac-
ter, won many friends who will miss
her from their circle. She was a
faithful member and worker in the
Christian church and enedavored to
portray the character of the Christ
in her daily life.
