WOULD GRANT THE. WOMEN
ABSOLUTELY EQUAL RIGHTS
MARYLAND Senator Wants to Force Fair Ones to Con-
tribute to Familys Support, to Pay Amony
and to Be Punished for Desertion

Annapolis, Md, March 11.-Sen.
BENJAMIN w. Cox of Baltimore yes
terday introduced in the Senate
a new kind of equal rights" bill
designed to counterbalance the
equal rights" bill offered by the
women.
The bill would add Is new sec
lions to the constitution of Mary
land, the first new section providing
that males and females are born
free and equal and that neither
shall be granted any privileges that
are not enjoyed by the other
Among other things, under the
provisions OF the bill, it will be
the duty of the wife to contribute
at least one-half expenses OF the
home and the support OF the family
1t also provides that:
The wife shall pay alimony in the
event of divorce proceedings.
Paragould soliphone. (Paragould, Ark.) 1918-1950, 1922-03-13

+ The wife may be sentenced to-
prison for desertion.
The wife who takes her husbands
money may be tried for embezzle-
ment.
The wife may be sentenced to the
whipping post for assaulting her
husband, but the number of lashes
is limited at 40.
When the title was read in the
Senate, smiles came on the faces OF
the senators. There was a different
expression on the faces of some OF
the women present.
One member OF the Baltimore
woman's organization thought 1t was
silly She turned to sister
member and remarked:
TITS perfectly ridiculous; hope
lit passes"
The bin was referred to the Com
mittee on Judicial Proceedings.
