HUSBAND CANNOT SELL
COMMUNITY PROPERTY

A case of more than local i'm
pOrtance was tried Thursday be-
fore Judge Woods in the district
court for ShOshone county, the
question involved being the right
.of a husband sell community
property without the consent of
his wife.
The title Of the case was Vana
B. Hendershott vs.. d. n .WintOn
ct al. Mr.. Hendershott sold
Winton some land which was
community property. Mrs. Hen
reshott refused to join in the
deed and brought an action
against Winton to have the deed
cancelled and set aside on the
ground that the land purporting
to be conveyed was commun-
ity property and she had never
joined in the deed or consented
to the sale. After listening to
the evidence Judge Woods decid-
ed in favor of Mrs. HendershOtt
ordering the deed cancelled and
discharged from record.
The only Ccourse left the de-
fendant is to sue Hendershott,
1who sold the land, for damages
under this decision of the court
OF else appeal the case to the su-
preme court. William ID. KeetOu
of this city was Mrs. Hender-
shott's attorney and appeared foI
her in the trial of the case before
Judge Woods.

its report Friday and was dis

Sixty-two indictments were re-

report also referred in strong
terms to the manner in which the

Turkey Will Hang
High This Month

1t can't be blamed altogether on
the war. But turkeys are going up
every day. The price at least is go

are not so very many turkeys raised
around Ashland, just few flocks or

call turkey when it is turkeys.
1t is predicted that the turkey

Is to Is cents a~pound for his feath-

much is dinner. Those approaching
the ballet standard of plumpness will
receive the best prices, and dealers
advise the owners of wild and rangy
gobblers and danes to herd them
into a pen and pamper them to ro-
tundity as soon as possible-for
Thanksgiving is but two weeks away.
Those who care to take the trou-
BILE to dress their turkeys and bring
them to town ready for the double
roaster can probably get 20 to 20
cents a pound for them, and keep the
wings to brush around the kitchen
stove with. OF course, the buyers
explain, the price is not as high as
that now, because the relative ratio
of demand and supply has not yet
been ascertained. But the demand
for turkeys has never been known to
fail at Thanksgiving time, and it is
more than likely to be question Of
supply. The cold and long continued
rainy weather in the spring discour-

GRASS IGNORANCE.

The Portland Oregonian takes
100000 of the people of Oregon to
task for their "crass ignorance" in
voting against the amendment which
removes the dead law against voting
by negroes and Cinnamon who are
citizens. The law denying the negro
and Chinese citizen the right to vote
was rendered ineffective by the pass
age of the fifteenth amendemnt to
the constitution of the United States
and was imperative, the legislature
merely wishing to cut out deadwood
in asking the people to repeal the
law. While admitting that the Ore
gonian is in a measure correct, we
would go farther than that and place
the blame where it probably ought
to be, with the Tidings and Ore
gonian and otlAr newspapers of the
state who failed to dwell sufficiently
upon the state issues which so acute
ly affect us, in the heat of national
campaign. We cannot help but won
der how many of the other outcomes
on the proposed amendments result
ed from Grass ignorance

sell that he should play upon our
vanity?" When such men as Stephen
d. Mather, assistant to the secretary
of the interior of the United States
and superintendent of all the nation

President Mccormick, one of the eX-
ecutive heads of one of the greatest
railroads of the country, see future

lief that Ashland is destined to be-

beauties of Ashland are taken as a
matter of course, arouse ourselves
to a renewed belief and an increased

TAXES AND THE CHARTER
AMENDMENT.

Dismiss at once and for good the
idea from your mind that passage OF
the proposed charter amendment,
placing the park and mineral plant
control in the hands of a centralized
body, will mean higher taxes. The
passage of the amendment can not
raise the taxes, as will be shown, and
may be the means of slight reduc-
tion.
As may be seen by reference to the
city budget for 1917, the park board
has deemed the amount OF $11, ,157.49
necessary for their work Added TO
this is $4,000 which is the estimated
amount of upkeep Of the mineral wa
ter system and watering Lithia park
The total amount calls for AZ mills.
Last year tax of 2 mill was as
sessed for the purpose of raising the
$500 given the Chautauqua under
contract and for helping to support
various small publicity items. This
will again be necessary in some form
this year and will raise the park up
keep. mineral water plant upkeep and
publicity total tax to 40 or practical
Iy 5 mills, which is the maximum
that the council can levy under the
proposed amendment. Should the
amendment be passed, the tax items
listed above would be eliminated
from the budget as it now stands ana
in their stead tax, which could be
anything from mills down to 80
mills. would be levied for the new
hoard TO be used for park, mineral
plant and publicity. In view OF the
fact that the expenses of administra-
tion would be handled under one
head instead of three as at present.
IL stands to reason that the tax under
the charter amendment might easily
result in a reduction from the Az
mills which will be required uhuer
the present system.
The chatter amendment PROPOSE
tion revolves around the question OF
whether or not the voters believe
that a board of three members elect
ed by the voters can administer the
affairs relative to the park, springs
and resort aims more economically
and efficiently than as handled at
nresent.
