NEVADA LAWS
help DIVORCE
And GAMBLING
Gates Thrown Wide Open
in Amazing Session of
Legislature.
BY EARL H. LIEF
United Press staH Correspondent

CARSON CITY, New. March 90
With its wide open" gambling bill
and a six weeks divorce law passed
and signed by Governor Fred 3.
Balzar, the Nevada state legislature
today neared completion Of session
that has been one Of the most amaz-
ing in American lawmaking history.
The cowpunchers, miners, divorce
lawyers, business men and others
who compose the legislature, estab-
lished q new record for hberality.
Of the hundreds Of measures pro-
posed, not one bill was introduced
that in any manner provided re-
strictions on personal liberties, while
scores Of measures were enacted to
give greater freedom Of conduct.
Outstanding among the liberaliza-
ton measures we're the gambling
and divorce bills, made laws Thurs
day by Governor Balzar.
Although gambling has been a
felony in this state since 1919, the
'unWriLCen code" has been 10 per-
nit gambling in all forms, but to
keep out the "fy-by-night" opera
tors.
Gambling was, nevertheless, an
uncertain investment, due to the
possibility Of "grudge" closing or the
election of officials who deemed it
their duty to close gambling places
in accordance with the law.
The new gambling bill has done
away with that and gamblers now
can operate all they wish without
fear Of interference from officials.
The six-week divorce bill has in
spired an idea new even to Nevada.
Lawyers plan a forty-day caravan
tour of the state, with a divorce
awaiting at its end-all included
under a ser triCe figured in advance
