GOVERNOR ODDIE
BACK FROM TRIP
THROUGH EAST
EXECUTIVE HOPES TO WORK IN
HARMONY WITH THE NEW
ATToRNE YoENERAL

Governor Oddie arrived on the
limited this morning fror Washing
ton, d. c.. where he went to attend
dinner given by President Taft on
Saturday to the governors who had
attended the Richmond conference
at which the question of rural cred
its was discussed, says the Gazette
The governor was smiling and hap
py and seemed to feel that the trip
had been of material advantage to
the state. His address ON the sub
ject of uniform marriage and divorce
laws, delivered last week in Rich
mond, had been published in full in
many eastern papers, while all had
contained extended extracts from it,

held all over the country regarding
our divorce laws, and that an oppor-
tunity was presented at this confer
ence to set our position before the
country in the right light | can say
| that good many hundred thousand
people in the United States have had
opportunity to revise their views on
the question since the Richmond CON
| ference. owing TO the courtesy of
the press in giving my speech such
extended notice.
Real Worth Forgotten
THE great danger that confronts
us in this connection is that the peo-
Pile of the country are being blinded
to the fact that we are a great min

state, because OF the great notoriety
il has lately achieved as a divorce
state This last feature has obtained
such a deep root in the minds OF
the people in general, that they are
coming to think OF Nevada only as a
haven for mismated couples and not
as state possessing such great re
sources as We know it has.
THE matter of state income ia,
was one of the, other subjects dis
cussed at great length and according
to statistics produced at the confer
ence, the revenues of Wisconsin, il
