To Cure the Divorce Evil.

There seems to he a general Senu-
ment prevalent in Idaho looking to
more stringent marriage laws. with
the object in view of lessening the
number Of divorces that are annu-
ally granted. The state is gaining
a reputation for easy divorces that
is not gratifying to the moral ele-
ment of its citizens and a strong
plea will be made to the incoming
legislature for more legislation along
this line.
The figures from Ada county, In
which the capital is located, show
that from January l, 1911, until
November %, 1912, there was filed
one petition for divorce to every
four applications for marriage" IL
censes, and there have been awarded
five DEGREES of divorce to every 70
marriages during that time.
Judge Davis of that county IN a
lengthy review of the matter offers
several recommendations which he
has reasons to believe if adopted
would have a tendency To leSsel
this evil to great extent. Among
them are the following:
That the minimum age for mar
= riage be increased to not less than
IS for women and "A for men.
That the schools prepare chlldrel
for home building before teachin
them dead languages.
That the marriage of idiotic, III
i sane, degenerate or diseased person
be prohibited.
That marriage licenses be issue
: only after 10 days notice of inter
Il ton has been given.
II That at least 5000 be appropr
: ated for the use of the state boar
} of health in teaching sex hygien
l. That the period of residence r
lie ouired before complaint for divor
d is filed be increased to one year +
non-residents of the state.
re From the agitation now going
ri it is very evident that various bll
fy will be presented before the legisl
:, ture this winter dealing with I'll
H. subject.

The Plan Is All Right.

Joel L. Priest, Industrial Agent for the
Short Line, is quoted as offering the fol-
lowing advice to the farmers of this Sec
ton: "For the life OF me, | cannot see
merit in the policy being pursued by the
south Idaho spud growersin throwing all
their product on the market at once. 1t
skaters prices, handicaps the carriers
and loses money for the farmers. Potato
growers in the Idaho Falls district are
realizing this very obvious fact and are
making the necessary arrangements. |
hope TO see Il string OF cooperative ware
houses all through this fertile region, and
to see the farmers clipping coupons in
stead OF 'cussing the railroads.
The plan is all right, Joel, but as our
friend Tick would say, who in ! would
pay the bills? 1t costs money To build
warehouses, and the farmers in this sec
ton are not clipping coupons just yet.
What the matter with the Short Line
erecting few warehouses along their
line for the benefit OF their shippers.
They have got the price and the farmers
are willing to pay 4 reasonable storage
rental. Come on now Joel and do some
thing and don't blame all this car short
age on the poor farmer.
