Divorces Easy

James K. Harvey of the Bu-
reau of Statistics while in Reno
this week on his way to Califor-
mia stated that Nevada was get
ting a reputation for the laxity
of her divorce laws. He stated
that it was a conceded fact all
over the county that divorces in
this state were easy to procure
and the Corey case is the main
one held up for example. He
further stated that he had look
ed up this one case and had
found that the district attorney

to accept It. Suit was then
brought against the railroad for
company for $50, 1885, 3 and the
lower court rendered judgment
against the railroad company for
that amount.
THE railroad company APP
pealed the case and now the SUI
preme court has affirmed the
judgment of the lower court,
which means that the railroad
company will have to pay it's
just taxes. The Carson & Col
orado railroad was assessed in
1905 for $500 per mile and the
board of equalization raised the
assessment to $500. The To-
nopah e. Goldfeld railroad was
raised from $500 to $500 per
mile. The two railroads wanted
to pay according to the assess
ment, but the county treasurer
demanded that they pay accord
ing to the valuation passed on
the roads by the board of equal
ization. The county sued the
Carson & Colorado, secured judg-
ment and the decision has been
affirmed by the supreme court.
There is now a suit pending
against the Tonopah & Goldfeld
railroad. The decision of the
supreme court, however, means
that we will surely secure judg-
ment against the Tonopah &
Goldfeld for $21, 382.42 when
the road has offered only
$5006. O8. ...

have to pay its share of taxes.
"The railroad companies tried
to stand on a clause in the tax
law passed by the last legisla-
ture, which states that the state
board of equalization cannot raise
the valuation of any corpora

In speaking of the case, Judge
