tions of population, bank deposits
and on subscriptions to the four

"The sum that we must raise this
year Is smaller by nearly half a
million dollars than our actual
sales last year when the idea of
savings stamps was new to our
people and a (treat 'many other war

. "This thing is easy. We wanted
victory; . we got it; now let s pay
it. One more victory loan and this
Just allotment of stamps', and the
thing is done, in Nevada's usual
way of doing things. Every citizen

Nevada Leads
In Divorces
Approximated one out of every
nine marriages in the United States
is terminated by divorce according to
figures compiled by the bureau of
the census and made public today.. -
Excluding South Carolina, where
all laws permitting divorce were re
pealed in 1878 the three lowest di
vorce rates in 1JH6, for which year
returns are now complete, are shown
for the District of Columbia, North
Carolina and. New York, where the
rates were 13, 31 and 32 per. 100,000
respectively. The highest rates were
returned from Nevada, Montana and
Oregon, which show 607,323 and 225
respectively.
In all states except Maine, West
Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, North Dakota, Scuth
Dakota and Colorado the divorce
rates were higher in 1916 than in
1906.
' Desertion is shown by the figures
to have been the cause of about 38
per cent of the divorces.
Records also show that the mar
riage rate in 1916 was 1050 per 100
000 or nine times as great as the dt
foree rate of 112 per 100,000.

Nevada Now Has
Prohibition Law
When it was discovered a few days
ago that there waa a very likelihood
that the initiative prohibition law
stood a good chance of being declar
ed unconstitutional through the lack
of record on tha inn
the state supreme court had previous
ly renuerea a decision on this point,
there was a hurry up to get a bill
through to cover the ground.
Had there not been a new prohibi
tion bill passed and the bid law
knocked out there would be a wide
open state until such time as the fed
eral law went Into effect. Even this
law Is not yet a matter ot working
fact.
A new bill was drawn and offered
by Assemblyman Chandler. This
bill provides for more liberal fea
tures such as the sale and manufac
ture of near beer, the sale of liquors
for medical purposes and extracts
for the housewife. The bill 1b In line
with what the people want.
. The bill went through the Assemb
ly, was hurried Into the Senate de- .
clared an emergency measure and
sent to the committee of the
whole. There an attempt was made
to amend with the hoisting of the
per centage of alcoholic beverages
but this failed and no amendments
were attached. With a favorable re
port from the committee the bill has
passed and is in the Governor's hands
today. '
Should the supreme court declare
the old law ineffectiva mH ii n. in
stitutional the new bill takes its place
leaving wevaaa on the dry side ot
the stream..
Then the amendments to the pre
sent act will have to be considered.
This amendment to the Initiative law
provides for the m of ne.tr beer, ex
tracts and some olwat trimmings.
There is the contentl ju that it is -possible
to amend the law providing that
the amendments do not destroy the
intent pf the lawbr Interfere with
Its enforcement and those back of tho
amendment are of the opinion that
the present amendments as passed
will In no way invalidate the law.
It is conceded that the people have
voted the saloon out ot business and
it was the original Intention of the
law. If the legislature has straight
ened out the objections to the bill
to the people as a whole then some
thing has been acnompllshd.as It
Is confessed that the bill In Us pre
sent' for:n Is too drastic and not tha
desire o' the neoule ag a who!o Tho
next few weeks will prohublv see
:iie opinions of the courts file I on tin
two issues and it may be that Ne
vada will enjoy some of the benefit
of this legislation. Carson Now.
