DIVORCE MILL
GETS ITS QU|ETUS
NEW LAW EXTENDING RESI-
DENCE TERM SUSTAINED
BY VOTERS.

SiouS Falls, S, D, Nov. 1o.-In the
referendum of November 8, the PEG
pie of South Dakota voted overwhelm-
ingly to end South Dakota's famous
divorce mill. After the state can.
vassing board meets at Pierre the
first week of next month and an

has been, approved it will no longer

husbands to come to South Dakota

In secret hearing freedom and the
right 10 remarry.
The statute approved, which will
change the destinies of families
throughout the United States and put
at an end an indsutry worth 100000
a year to Sioux Falls, contains but
five short sections. $50 words in all.
The first section provides that the
plaintiff in an action for divorce must
have been am actual resident, in good
faith, of this state for one year. and
of the county wherein action is com
menced for three months next pre-
ceding the suit. Under the present
law divorce action may be begun
after residence Of six months. the
period required fer citizenship, and
suit may be filed in any county at the
convenience or desire OF the plain
tiff. Thus it is favorite trick OF
Sioux Falls lawyers representing eli
ents who are avoiding publicity, to
bring their cases in one county. have
the hearing in another of the circuits
and obtain the decree in a thirt.
Thus newspaper pursuit is almost in
variably cast off. Under the new
law this practice will be impossibla.
The second section merely reserves
70 persons married in the state ana
residing in it, the right to sue for di-
yOrce at any time.
Under section three, all hearings OF
divorce cases except those relating u
alimOny or the granting of an inter
Iocutory decree, must be held at the
provides publicity a thing abhorred y
all the "cOlonists but it also means
that o ten more than a years resi-
dence would be needed, as the expira-
ton of the required year might occur
in a recess of the courts.
The only remaining section says
that if the cause of action arises in
the state, then action may be com
menced at any time after the plant
if has lived here Tor six months.
This portion of the law, some Sioux
Falls divorce lawyers assert, opens
the way to a continuation Of at least
part Of the divorce traffic For ex-
ample Attorney J. NJ. Donovan says:
AS 90 per cent Of those who come
TO South Dakota for divorce have
agreed with the matrimonial spouse,
in advance. that one shall come to
| this state and procure a dissolution o

not oppose, all such persons will

commence the action in six months

state instead of one and separate, one
