MORE MARRIAGES AND MORE DIVORCES
There were more marriages in the United States in
3923 than there were in 1922, and there also were more
divorces, more in number and an increased percentage.
The Department of Commerce announces that, ac­
cording to returns received, there were in the United
States, for -the calendar year 1923, 1,223,825 marriages
performed and 165,139 divorces granted. For the calen­
dar year 1922, 1,123,045 marriages and 148,815 divorces
were reported.
The increase in marriages for 1923, with one county
jacking, over the number reported for 1922 is 94,780, or
8.4 per cent. Nebraska is the only state in which there was
r. marked decrease in 1923.
The divorces reported for 1923, with three counties
lacking, show an increase of 16,324, or 11 per cent, over
i he number reported for 1922 .
In Kansas there were 20,876 marriages in 1923, and
19,705 in 1922, an increase of 1171. There were 3720 di-
\orces in 1923 and 3439 in 1922, an increase of 281. The
gain in per cent o f divorces in Kansas was small.

Unless we mistake greatly the public temper, there

coming legislature to devise new taxes. If the legisla­

of state government it will find public approval.
One plain and certain measure to that end would

reaus and the elimination of superfluous ones. When Ben
AV. Olcott was governor he appointed a commission to
make a study of this subject. The commission reported
a plan and alternatives of detail to the legislature. Mean­
while Governor Olcott had been succeeded by Governor
Pierce. The new governor seemed to have no definite
idea as to what consolidations should be made or how,
