Women in Colorado have been of greatest service in establishing the following laws:
1—Establishing a State Home for dependent children, three of the five members of the board to be women.
2—Requiring that at least three of the six members of the county visitors shall be women.
3—Making mothers joint guardians of their children with the fathers.
4—Raising the age of protection for girls to 18 years.
5—Establishing a State Industrial School for girls. There had long been one for boys, but the women could not get one for girls until they had the vote.
6—Removing the emblems from the Australian ballots. This is a little, indirect step toward educational qualifications for voting.
7—Establishing the indeterminate sentence for prisoners.
