Nevada Divorce Law
Is Ably Defended
Gov. Oddie Tells Eastern People
That Law is Just. Will Suggest
A Longer Residence.

Yesterday at Richmond. Va, Gov
crnor Oddie addressed the pcople
before the Governors convention
on Divorce and Nevada's Law. The
Governor defended the Nevada law
and cited many reasons for its eX-
istencc and suggested some moditl
cations. The speech in general cov-
cred the following lines:
The Nevada Divorce Law was
framed by the Legislature in 1So.
and was amended slightly in 1875
1t has not since been changed.
That the divorce law in this state
embodieS practically every feature
OF the divorce law recommended for
adoption by all states by the Amer
lean Bar Association.
That divorces are granted in Ne
vada only where the evidence shows
it would be wrong to ask the par
ties to continue as husband and wife,
That divorces are necessity to
maintain a proper state of morality.
That it is an injustice tC demand
that a pure woman continue as the
wife of 4 bestial husband

That those people who come to
Nevada to secure divorce come
from states where the laws are of.
considerable antiquity and CORES
ponding harshness.
That he believes in uniform di
vOrCe law for all states containing
causes Of action to permit mismated
couples to sever their uncongenial
bonds
That at the coming session of the
Nevada State Legislature he will
urge an amendment requiring a res
idence of one year in the state be
fore divorce action may be main
tanned.
As there is a general agitation on
this matter and it will be threshed
out inside OF the next 90 days, the
Goernor's explanation comes at the
right time, and should give the East
en people something to think about.
Just how the extedning of time III
the matter, will terminate is hard to
state. as the individual legislator ha,
his own opinions on this subject.
