declared that earlier statutes, giving

both cases that the constitution o.

The great sinlle effect of the deci
sion is to validate the votes or WON

All other public policy questions
created by statute are opened to
women's votes. but few such as
bond issues named IN the constitu'
ton are not. Constitutional amend
ments such as the Initiative and ref
erendum are not subject to the
women's vote.
Justice Dunne's opinion covers
the main points. Regarding the con-
tention of the Observation-Disclosures
Scown: that thu suffrage act is
amendatory OF the general election

enacted, incorporate in 1t with

holds every new act modines every

that this contention has not been

Regarding the allegation that the

ton in comforting upon women the
