Senator Wolfe's bill increasing the
cost OF marriage licenses from 81 TO
81 passed the Senate yesterday with
out debate or opposition At the time
the cost was reduced to 81 the argu-
ment advanced was that it was the
duty of the state to make marrying
popular The explanation now offer
ed is that as every other luxury and
necessity is more expensive, and the
people are making more money, there
is no reason why marriages should
not keep up with the financial pro-
cessiOn.
