Resolution Passes
Disarmament Proposal Up to the Presi-
dent-Send Letters to Him
BY MARY GRAY

Women's organizations, which are largely re-
sponsible for the growing sentiment everywhere for
measures to assure world peace elated over the
passage by the lower house of congress Of the
Borah resolution for international conference on
limitation of armaments. The senate had previous
ly passed the resolution. It does not compel Pres-
dent Harding to act It merely authorizes him to.
The activity of women's organizations should not
cease, the president let the matter die if he
wants to- and unless the writer misses her guess
he will need plenty of prodding before he actually
calls the authorized conference between the United
States, Great Britain and Japan. Instead of to
congress, letters and petitions of women's organ
izations should be sent direct to the PRESIDENT
as it is up to him now. ~
The women of America can force the government
to take the lead in bringing about international dis
armament It has been wonderful experience for
me to watch the unanimity with which women's or
ganizations have worked and are working for this
object. Our enfranchisement and entry into poll
tics have already been justified, but we have not
After our successful bombardment of congress we
must turn our guns on the White House. The
president must understand in no uncertain terms
that we women demand he act the Borah reso-

successfully help our children must educate and

girls and women. This is vital subject, knowing
full we'll that the mothers of tomorrow the
working girls of today. We have 10 millions Of
women employed in the 100 or more leading indus
tries in the United States today We must safe
guard the health and morals of our working girls;
do this with our eight-hour-day law and
minmum-wage law and by so doing we are laying
the foundation for healthy next generation.
A well-born child is an asset to his state and to
the nation growing into strong, healthy citizen,
both physically and mentally.
We have the caption, Seattle Inspected Forest
Protected and Children Neglected" Let all pull
together and create clean, healthy atmosphere
for children to grow and live in; let us aid the
mother by kindly advice and suggestion, urging
congressman and others to put laws on our statute
books for the protection of maternity and for the
welfare Of our children.
Other nations are ahead of us here in the United
States in the matter of protective legislation for
child-bearing women and also for our unmar-
ried mothers. These unfortunate girls need
helping hand and advice-not scorn and banishment
their child needs place in the world-not the
lifelong stigma of illegitimacy
Here is work for us to do. Make it part of our
club work and we will be the happier for it.

RESOLUTIONS

Women's Nonpartisan club No. 154 of Wing, N.
D., at recent meeting adopted resolutions pointing
out that many farmers, where there have been re-
peated crop failures, are depending solely on re-
turns from butter, cream and eggs to exist this
year, and that the low prices of these products is
causing much suffering. The club demands an in
vestigation of the continued high prices of farm
products to consumers, while prices to farmers
have been reduced to pre-war basis. The club de-
mands the passage of the Sheppard-Towner bill to
protect women and children, the freedom Of polit-

COMMUNITY PROPERTY LAWS
SHOULD EXIST IN ALL STATES

Under system of community Of goods the prop
erty which either woman has at the time
of marriage acquires thereafter through gift
will is the personal property of each but whatever
either acquires through his her efforts after
riage becomes the joint property of both. The hus
band has the power of managing this joint prop
erty and this has been. perverted in the California
law to that the wife has interest or estate
in the community property during the marriage
relation; the husband is the absolute owner there
sof," although it is admitted in another that
the theory of community property is that it is ac-
quired by the joint efforts of both. This makes the
theory of community of goods merely new rule
for dividing property in case Of death divorce
and is of little value.
The rights of women in such cases are quite care
fully protected under the old system of law. The
Idaho law seems to have been interpreted in way
which is probably much more nearly in accord with
the intention of the statutes "The wife has an
equal interest and ownership with the husband in
community property and the only particular in
which their rights differ is in the fact that the
statute constitutes the husband the managing agent
and trustee of the community partnership"
