The governors are in convention in

questions were put to them by the
New York paper:
The income tax amendment to the
constitution,
The proposed federal incorporation
law.
A uniform divorce law.
The proposed interstate commerce
court.
Has President Taft made, or lost
ground since his Inauguration?
Governor Carroll is quoted as an
swering the inquiries in this order:
The people of my state would carry
the income tax amendment, | feel
sure.
The proposed national incorporation
law could be made a good and eff
cient one in my opinion.
| favor uniform divorce laws for
the states. but an afraid the plan is
not practical. because of the many
factions in the states
Personally favor the establishment
of an interstate commerce court The
people of Iowa wish the powers of
the interstate commerce commission
increased. so as to bring about quick
er decisions in these matters.
President Taft has gained ground

denounced the loose laws which gov
ern marriage The following were
the salient points in his address:
4 The lawful age of marriage should
| be raised at least to eighteen years
No marriage should be lawful unless
previous public notice has been given
so that those interested may have ar
opportunity to intervene.
No marriage should be solemnized
except in the presence of witnesses
known to the persons officiating.
The parties and witnesses shoIld be
put under oath as to the necessary
facts, and false swearing made per
jury. sg,
A heavy fine or imprisonment should
be put upon the parties, and person
officiating, when the requisites of the
law have not been complied with.
No marriage except as prescribed by
law should be recognized by law, and
all loose, irregular, common law,
or any other so-called forms of mar.
riage should be forbidden under
Divorces should be allowed to re-
marry only after proving to trial court
that a second matrimonial venture is
justified
Persons migrating from one state to
another for the purpose OF securing a
divorce, should not be given decree
for any cause not recognized in such
other state.
Tht trial court should appoint in all
uncontested cases, an attorney to in
vestigate and defend and to prevent
collision and fraud .s.
Secret hearings should be abolish
ed: all evidence should be made pub
lie
Judge Towner- held that intemper-
ance. too, secluded home life and I'M
provident marriage are the real causes
for the increase in the number OF
divorces. He defended the divorce as
a last resort, declaring that the awful
conditions disclosed in every divorce
court where hatred and terror and I'M
speakable cruelty. exist. prove that 1t
is imperative to end such conditions
even with the knife of divorce.
