NEVADA LAWS HELP DIVORCE AND GAMBLING Gates Thrown Wide Open in Amazing Session of Legislature, BY EARL H LIEF United Press Staff Correspondent CARSON CITY, Nev., March 20— With Its “wide open” gambling bill and a six weeks’ divorce law passed and signed by Governor Fred B. Balzar, the Nevada state legislature today neared completion of a session that has been one of the most amazing in American lawmaking history’. The cowpunchers, miners, divorce lawyers, business men and others who compose the legislature, established anew record for liberality. Os the hundreds of measures proposed, not one bill was introduced that in any manner provided restrictions on personal liberties, while scores of measures were enacted to give greater freedom of conduct. Outstanding among the liberalization measures- were'the gambling and divorce bills, made laws Thursday by Governor Balzar. Although gambling has been a felony in this state since 1919, the ‘unwritten code” has been to permit gambling in all forms, but to keep out the “fly-by-night” operators. 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 vvish without fear of interference from officials. The six-week divorce bill has inspired an idea new even to Nevada. Lawyers plan a forty-day caravan ♦our of the state, with a divorce awaiting at its end—all included under a set price figured in advance. permanentTaTetT GROUP IS ORGANIZED Outgrowth of Recent Rally Now Operating In City.
