WOMEN WIN IN WASHINGTON
s~sreme Court curtaIIs Hubbys Power
to Dispose Of Goods Without
Wife's Consent.

No more is the married man Of
Washington absolute head Of the fami-
ly. He shares that post with the wife
of his heart so far as the disposal Of
community personal property is con-
cerned. Man was denoted from his
high estate and his authority curtailed
by recent decision of the state su-
preme court, which held that the
Mrs" of the household has an equal
share In the personal property and
must be consulted before 1t can be
transferred.
The decision was rendered, says the
Spokane Chronicle, in the case of
man named Steel, who was found
guilty of alternating the affections of
another mans wife. Judgment was
rendered against him and the question
OF using community property to satisfy
the debt was brought before the tri-
bunal. Chief Justice Ellis, with the
concurrence of xix associate. judges,
reversed former decisions which have
been the basis of law on this point for
20 years or more In the state, and held
that the community personal property
is liable only for those debts contract
ed for the community and In the COM
munity interests.
Under former decisions the power Of
the husband over community property
wea absolute, except that he could not
will away more than half, the other
half going to the wife at his death He
could mortgage, sell or dissipate the
family personality without the consent
of his wife. The furniture could be
sold over her head to pay the debts
of drunken husband. A Judgment
for husbands wrong conduct could
be collected from her half of the per-
sonal property as well as his. Now
the husband is no more than an agent,
the court hes held.

OIL SHOULD BE INSPECTED
 IN STATE WHERE CONSUMED

Little Rock, July That inspec- tion of oils should be made in the state in which it is consumed, is the theory upon which Chas. F. Martin will base oil inspection in Arkansas. Most oils have been inspected when they enter Arkansas, having been passed upon at the refinery. A fee is paid there, and as courts have held that another tax cannot be collected, Inspector Martin feared the Arkansas department would be deprived of con- siderable revenue. He has discovered that other states give the oil com panles certificates of inspection, and a rebate is there given.
 The oil inspection department has been considerably handicapped by the nonarrival of apparatus with which to test the samples of oil secured by the deputy inspectors, but it is expected to be installed within few days. The office has already received large quan- titles of stamps which are attached to barrels showing the contents have been inspected
