Treat. We discover* the! lnt«esttn«
feet the ocher evening while listen-
ing to one of the elder sWtesaen in
the legal profession as he disclosed
sosne of the tricks of his trade. An
Arkansas husband Is legally entitled
to whatever he earns, if any. and
all his wife may claim of It Is what
she can wheedle him Into giving
her. or extract from his pants
pocket as opportunity may present
Itself. What he earns In Arkansas is
sem his when he brings it to Texas
and invests it In lands or other
property, the Texas law attending
to that part of the matter.
r. » •» *
Perhaps the Arkansas law. which
is a common law affair over there,
is as It is because an Arkansas
hashand experiences so much diffi-
culty earning any money. In Texas
whatever the husband may earn
becomes community- property, the
theory being that Texas women are
partially 1 responsible for whatever
financial success th»ir husbands may
achieve on aocount of their contin-
uous and continual service as back-
asst drivers. Their advice, the Texas
law presumes, is worth half of any
not earnings it may produce, which
undoubtedly is lair enough, in the
event there are any net earn mgs.
