DIVORCE AS AN INDUSTRY.

RENO, NEVADA, AND

ITS RIVALS,

IDAHO COMPETITION.

Reno, the lown in the State of Nevada which has become world famous for the easy divorces which can be obtained there, is having a hard struggle to preserve this lucra tive trade from other competitors.

Nevada did not consciously strive to be the centre of the divorce in- dustry. It happened by accident. The grounds for divorce which It allowed were very liberal, but no more than in several other States.

In addition, however, being a far Western State and short of populo- tion, it encouraged settlers to come to it by requiring only a 30-days' residence do attain citizen rights. It is this law which has proved no welcome to those troubled with in- congenial marital companions.

Arkansas and Idaho, attracted by the money which people with 90 days to friter away spent in Rone, made a determined effort to attract Reno's trade from it by reducing their own residential requirements for divorce seekers alao to 99 days.
