There is one thing to a certainty,
the divorce laws of the state of
Texas will have to be changed. II
is too easy for a boy and a girl to
get married and then allow some
alleged grievance to be set up and
allow them TO have a divorce. If
there was law compelling a man
to remain unmarried for a period Of
four years, and a woman a period
of two years, after being divorced
there would not be so many di-
vorces applied for. -Nacodoches

II was a dog fall in the cases be-
tween the railroads and the state
of Texas, including the constitu-
tionality Of the Love tax bill. The
court holds that the gross receipt
tax is constitutional, but denies the
legality of the penalty attached on
various grounds. That means the
railroads must pay the tax in the
future, but the state can not re-
cover the 5000 a day penalty. Hon
ors are about even and the parties
of the first and second part can call
