ity property. The result is that many
families in this state are destitute
and on the verge of starvation
through the refusal of the husband
and father to provide for them. In
Ger present conditions an unprinci-
Lied man may put his own wife on
the witness stand, say that he is
providing nothing for her support,
make her testify to what she is earn
ing, and claim her testimony as alb
solute defense against prosecution.
This deficiency in the law, ant
ether fully as important faults, are
corrected in five bills which have
been introduced in the legislature BY
Assemblyman Hugh J. Baldwin OF
San Diego. These bills are:
Assembly Bill GIG, which makes the
wilful abandonment of a wife or fam
lily by a husband and father able tc
provide for their support punishable
by fine and Imprisonment.
Assembly Bill CIT, which is az
amendment to the Civil Code, provid
ing that property owned by husband
before marriage is his separate prop,
crty and that all property earned o.
acquired by a wife during perioC
of abandonment is her separate prop
erty.
Assembly Bill 618 enables a wife
to dispose of property owned before
marriage or acquired during a perio,
of abandonment as her separate prop
erty without consent of the husband
Assembly Bill 619 requires that, il
order to have prosecution deferred OF
sentence suspended, father or hus
band arrested for non-support mus
give bonds to the state guarantee
ing that he will provide properly fol
his family. 1t also prohibits the pa
role of any person convicted of fail
IRE to provide until bonds are fur
nished guaranteeing the support o.
his family.
Assembly Bill 620 relates to com
munity property and permits a mar
ried woman to acquire separate prop
erty aside from that held in common
with her husband, providing it is ac-
ouired during a period of abandon
nent or is conveyed to her by an in.
strument in writing by some othel
person.
The State Humane Association as
serts that it is asking the enactment
of the bills in justice to the wives ano
mothers of the state and urges citi-
zens in every community to write to
their representative in the Senate
end Assembly asking them to work
in behalf of the measures. Copies OF
the bills, lists of the senator's and as
semblymen, and other literature, will
be furnished free on application to
the headquarters of the association at
