MUCH INJUSTICE WROUGHT
.Representative of Grange Declares
That Dower and Courtesy Law of
1007, Abridging Wife's Right,
Should Be Repealed at Once.
BT M. E. POGUE.
' (In Behalf of Grange Resolutions.)
My attention has been called to an
article by W. B. Shively. chairman of
the legal committee, Portland Realty
Board, published in your issue of Sun
day, July 7, on page 5, section 3. This
article was written with much learning,
but It seems not to have come to the
writer's attention that the dower and
curtesy law passed by the 1917 Legis
lature has seriously abridged the right
to dispose of one's property by will.
(1917 Session Laws. 687.)
Stayton Grange passed a resolution
demanding the repeal of the amend
ment. This resolution was successively
concurred In by the "Woodburn Grange,
the Salem Grange, the Pomona Grange
of Marion County and the State Grange,
after careful discussion by people who
have observed its effect upon estates
of deceased persons. In fact, the act
Is, without doubt, unconstitutional, in
that it is a violation of the constitu
tional right of every woman to con
tract with her separate property as
though she were unmarried.
The Oregon Constitution (Section 5
of Article XV.) provides: "The prop
erty and pecuniary rights of every mar
ried woman, at the time of marriage,
or afterwards acquired by gift, devise
or inheritance, shall not be subject to
the debts or contracts of the husband;
and laws shall be passed providing for
the registration of the wife's separate
property."
The Supreme Court in deciding the
meaning of this section has said: "Un
der this section the Legislature has
established the wife's legal identity,
and clothed her with power to contract
with her separate legal estate and
maintain suits arid actions .in her own
name to the same extent as if she were
unmarried. (Grubbs v. Grubbs, 26 Ore.
69.)
Law Revlfied in 10O7.
"Whatsoever property a woman has
at the time of marriage, or afterwards
acquires by gift, devise or inheritance,
remains hers until she, by her own
consent, express or implied, parts with
It." (Brumet v. Weaver, 2 Ore. 173.)
Pursuant to the intention of the
framers of the constitution, the Legis
lature of 1854 passed a statute (Hill's
CodeSection 2983), giving the husband
curtesy only in those lands pf , which
the wife dieu seized. Thus the wife
was able to deed her separate property
as though she were unmarried. The
signature of the husband was not nec
essary. She could will her property to
whomsoever she cjiose. The law stood
in this condition until 1907, when the
Legislature gave the husband an estate
by the curtesy in one-half part of all
the lands whereof his wife was seized
of an estate or inheritance, at any time
during the marriage.. This provision
greatly restricted the wife in the dis
position of her lands. While she still
had the right to deed her property
away, without the signature of her
husband, or will it to whomsoever she
chose, the title was never complete
without the signature of the husband
until his death: he having, upon her
ieath, a curtesy right to the possession
of one-half during the remainder of
his life. However, no serious incon
venience arose from this arrangement.
aunougn it was doubtless an infringe
ment upon the constitutional right of
the wile to deal with her separate prop
rety as though she were unmarried.
If she made a will to her children, the
fee simple title went to them, subject
only to the life estate of the husband.
The Legislature of - 1917, however,
made a great innovation, and further
Infringed upon the constitutional pro
tection to the wife in dealing with her
separate property. It gives to the hus
band the right to claim one-third of
the wife s property in fee simple, in
lieu of his curtesy. It will readily be
eeen that the wife can no longer deal
with her separate property as though
ahe were unmarried. Immediately upon
marriage the husband acquires a one
third interest in all the lands belone-lne-
to his wife at the time of the marriage,
and he thereafter acquires a one-third
interest in all the lands that she may
"tiiuiic ay inneritance or purchase
bhe cannot deed it away without his
signature. She cannot make a will so
as to carry title, as before, and cer
tainly this is a violation of the wife's
constitutional right.
Husband' Rights Same.
vvnat i nave said as to the law of
1917, respecting the wife's separate
vvieriy, applies equally to the hus
a .ism. io aeat with his separate
property, excepting that the husband's
rights were transmitted to n thmnh
the adoption of the Laws of England
rather than having been acquired from
a direct constitutional provision.
Wills were recognized by the He
Drew, Greek and Koman law, but were
not in use among the ancient Germans.
"B'"u wins oi personalty were
valid by custom in early times, and also
of jand until the introduction of the
feudal system when land became- not
subject to devise, until the people be
gan to shake off the feudal incidents
of land tenure and the various statutes
or wills enabled landholders to devise.
lhese statutes are very erenerallv foi
. lowed in this country and particularly
in uregon.
The dower and courtesy act of 1917,
while purporting to still retain th
Tight to make wills actually interfere
with that right to such an extent that
many wills do not convey title, and the
act of a surviving spouse may nullify
ine win or a deceased husband or wife.
In order to be the beter. understood
here cite a lew concrete example
whlh have come to my attention in law
practice, and which show that the pres
em law not only interferes with th
right to make wills, but fails to do even
approximate justice in a great major
ity of cases, and is not in harmony with
our general law providing for separate
property of tne nusband and wife
Thus, a widow with three children
married a second husband. She then
fell heir to a 100-acre tract of land
from ner deceased father. The husband
deserted her because she would not
turn over part of this property to him
so that ne could speculate with it. Th
wife died. The absconding husband
under the present law, has a one-third
interest in this land which he neve
helped to earn, and should he die it

will, under the law of 1917, could not
have avoided this result.
Law Nullifies Will.
Another case: A man died leaving
much property to his widow. They had
an infant son. She remarried. The
boy was young, the stepfather was old.
She made her will giving the second
husband a life estate in the who' of

her property and giving the property
all to her" son upon the "Heath- of ;the
husband. The Legislature passed the
aw in its present form. Now, if she
dies her will is a practical 'nullity.' One-
third of the property will go in fee
imple to the second husband, who
ever earned it, and upon his death will
go to his heirs, and not to the boy who
hould receive it. She cannot make a
will which will correct this error, nor
can they fix it by an agreement be-
vv-. co them, because, upon grounds of
purlic policy, the. law has always pro
hibited the husband and wife from con
tracting between . themselves as to
dower and courtesy. -
A widower with a son married a wid
ow with a son. Each owned a farm
consisting of 150 acres. They desired
hat upon the death of either the
hiishaiifl'a farm shoulri eo to his son
and the wife's farm should go to her
son. Prior to the law of 1917 that
would have been the natural, and legal
result. Under the law as "now framed
should the wife die, one-third of her
farn. would go to her husband in fee
simple, and upon his death would go
to his son, so that his son would get
200 acres, while her son would get but
100 acres. They do not want it that
way; but the husband ana wile cannot
fix this, either by any binding agree
ment between themselves or by will.
Before 1917 the mother could will her
idividual property to. her children,
subject to the life estate of her hus
band in one-half. Now she cannot do
so, because the husband, though he may
have never helped to acquire her prop
erty, and though he may never deserve
it, can claim one-third of each tract
which she has willed to her several
children, and he can hold it in fee sim
ple, and when he dies it will go to his
heirs, who very often are not the same
persons as the heirs of his .wife.
The right to make a will is as ancient
and sacred as the right to own real
property and -transfer it by deed. It
should not be abolished or frittered
awry by piecemeal. A thoughtless Leg-
isiiture. with the best or intentions.
has gone further than it intended, and
the demand for a repeal of the law or
1917 should be unanimous.''

boxes 80 miles long each year, the new
Ewauna box plant, which, with the
completion of the large .warehouse, is
practically finished, now daily converts
pine logs from the Klamath forests
into seven carloads of shooks each day.
This plant, succeeding the one
burned less than a year ago, is a spa-
cious, light, airy factory building,
covering a space 160 by 70 feet, with a
warehouse 130 by 70 feet adjoining
one end. The factory in the main is
complete and under headway.
Two hundred employes are now en-
gaged and the payroll of the company
totals $800 a day. The plant has a
capacity of 150,000 feet of ehooks per
day, with two eight-hour shifts.
A feature of the new industry is the
large number of girls and women employed.-
They are making good in

Top Novel Method of Rafting Lumber Employed by I. X. I. Lumber Company, of East Fork of Deschutes River.
Below Freeing; Strlns; of Rafts When They Have Lodcrd.
LA PINE, Or., July 13. (Special.)
The 1. X. L. Lumber Company, which
operates the enlarged J. K. Masten mill
on the east fork of the Deschutes
River west of La Pine, after trying a
number of methods for floating its
lumber down the river to rail trans
pcrtation pending the arrival of the
railroad at La Pine, has hit upon a
rafting plan which is regarded as a
complete success.
Their first attempts to market their
output via the river route were some
wl'at on the order of log drives on
small streams. Large timbers were
floated separately, while the smaller
material was tied in bundles. The
difficulty with this method, was that
the lumber would lodge on sand ' bars
and in eddies, necessitating constant
patrolling of the river by men" to keep
the lumber moving.
"ew Method Is 1'nlaue.
Under the new method Just adopted,
rafts containing about 1500 feet 'of
gieen lumber are made upon ' an in
clining platform on the river's .edge at
the mill. They are bolted together by
means of crossbars and then Blld. Into
the river and anchored along shore.
When 30 of the rafts have -been" made
up they are placed end .on about six
feet apart and bolted together by
