[LAWS. A complete digest of the laws relating especially to the
interests of women and children and to moral questions enacted during
the first decade of the present century was prepared for this chapter
by Judge Reah M. Whitehead of Seattle. This was supplemented by an
abstract of fifty-eight statutes of a similar nature enacted during
the last decade, prepared by attorneys Adella M. Parker of Seattle and
Bernice A. Sapp of Olympia. They largely cover the field of modern
liberal legislation but can not be given because of the decision to
omit the laws in all the State chapters for lack of space. The results
on questions related to prohibition submitted to the electors, with
women voting, are significant: Statute for State-wide prohibition
submitted in 1914: ayes, 189,840; noes, 171,208; statute submitted in
1916 permitting hotels to sell liquor: ayes, 48,354; noes, 262,390;
statute authorizing manufacture, sale and export of 4 per cent. beer:
ayes, 98,843; noes, 245,399.]
