SUCCESS FROM START
Nevada Executive Defends
Reno as Haven of Seeker for

Richmond, Va, Dec. with Gov
eFnor Dix in the chair, the conference
of governors resumed today with a
discussion on the state income tax,
led by Governor McGoyern of Wiscon-
sin, who read a paper. McGovern de-
clared the Wisconsin state income tax
had succeeded as strikingly as the old
personal property tax failed in COM
pelling persons of means to pay a just
share TO support the state government.
The plain fact is" the governor
said, ''that the Wisconsin income tax
law yielded more the first year of its
operation than did the first federal in.
come tax, although the latter applied
to the entire country"
In an address made public today
Governor Oddie of Nevada defended
Nevada's divorce law. The governor
maintained divorce an absolute neces-
sity in some cases, and that many
cases of divorce acted as a cure. for
evil and immortality. AL overwhelm-
ing proportion of the divorce colony
at Reno, he said, came from four or
five Atlantic coast states which had
divorce laws which are considerable
for antiquity and corresponding
harshness."
