Marriage Bill ^ Eugenic Clause Filed in Senate Amendment Would Require Every Applicant for License in Iowa to Undergo Physical Test. By Associated Tress. Ugs Moines, Jan. 24.—An amend juent to the Iowa marriage bill which "■would require every applicant for a .marriage license in the state to un ;dergo a physical examination was filed in the state senate this morn Jug by Senators Gilchrist of l’ocahon ‘fas and Holdoegel of Calhoun coun ties. The amendment would put into the hill a "eugenic clause" which is, (Senator Gilchrist says, much the .same as has been put into the mar riage laws of a number of other states. Nolth Carolina, he says, has In its laws the identical provisions which the amendment would put into the marriage laws of this state. Other states, the senator declares, require physical examinations much more stringent than would be tills one, which would ascertain the freedom of the male applicant from1 infectious tu berculosis and social disease, and the freedom of the female applicant from Infectious tuberculosis only. The certificate, the amendment pro vides, must have been executed with in 10 days previous to the application fr^license to wed, and by "some ^reputable physician.” The iaw pro vides penalty for physicians making false statements, or for any clerk is suing a marriage license without com plying with the provisions of the act. It further forbids Issuance of license to wed "to any person who is an idiot or an imbecile or who is under guar dianship on account of being a person of unsound mind,” nnd provides that the clerk may require proof by affi davit or in some other satisfactory manner.
