1. “"It is axiomatic in our law, that in all suits for the restitution of a community asset or debts due to the community,—an action, for the recovery thereof, must be prosecuted by the husband as head and master of the community, and the wife cannot stand in judgment therefor. The vindication of community rights is vested alone in the husband. This doctrine is sustained not only by our codal law, the economic and social philosophy of which is sound, but by an unbroken and uniform line of decisions and, therefore, none need be cited in support thereof."”
