ON DIVORCE LAWS
Nevada Bishop Asks People TO
Decide if Change is
Desired.

RENO New May "a. Bishop
George c. Hunting, of the Episcopal
diocese Of Nevada. impiacable enemy
OF the six months divorce law. which
makes Nevada the mecca OF those
desiring quick divorce, is organizing
another attempt 10 knock out the OBJ
jectionable statute.
Bishop Hunting announces that he
soon will start the circulation Of an
initiative petition for the re-enact-
ment Of the original divorce law.
which. adopted by the legislature in
1913. and repealed in 1915, provided
for years residence for eligibility
TO freedom from the bonds of matri-
mony. II is said that Reno business
men complained of a severe slump in
trade during the time the one-yeaT
law was in effect.
The initiative petition viii be an
exact copy of the 1913 law" says
Bishop Hunting. Through the ac-
ton of the last legislature the people
will vote on two divorce measures at
the coming election. one providing
for a six months interlocutory decree
and the other practically a duplicate
Of the present law. L either of these
measures Is adopted by the people
divorce legislation win be tied up
until 1929. under ne provisions OF
! our initiative and referendum stat
