Judge Morse's Views.

Judge Morse said:
Utah ia perhaps no better or worse

OF course. Our laws arc about the
same as those OF other states
Statutory grounds for divorce in Utah
are about the same as those else
where. So, ] should say Utah is
about an average state in regard to
divorce matters.
Tho urgent need OF the country is
uniformity in divorce Laws in the
various states. Divorce decrecs and
divorce orders issued By the courts

The courts OF other states. The laws
at present governing this important
question are confusing, 10 say the
