EQUAL SUFFRAGE. [S. J. R. 30. Filed June 9, 1913. Statutes 1913, p. 1689.] WHEREAS, The right to equal privileges in the exercise of the elective franchise by women is fast being acknowledged by the people and accorded by the several states of the American Union; and WHEREAS, The exercise of this privilege should not be restricted to states but should be as complete as that enjoyed by men; therefore, be it Resolved by the senate and the assembly of the State of California, jointly, That the legislature of the State of California memorializes the congress of the United States to initiate proceedings therein for the preparation of and submission to the several states of an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, placing women and men on an equality with respect to citizenship and the exercise of the elective franchise; and be it further Resolved, That our senators in congress be instructed and our representatives in congress requested to use all honorable means to secure the object of this memorial; and be it further Resolved, That the governor of the State of California be and he is hereby requested to transmit duly authenticated copies of this memorial to the president of the United States, the presiding officers of the two houses of congress, and to each of our senators and representatives in congress. [S. C. R. 22. Filed May 12, 1915. Statutes 1915, p. 1913.] WHEREAS, The issue of woman suffrage is pending in many states of the union; and WHEREAS, The operation and effect of the enfranchisement of women in California is being constantly misrepresented in such states and used there as arguments in opposition to the granting of suffrage to women; therefore, be it Resolved by the senate of the forty-first session of the legislature of the State of California, the assembly concurring, That the experience of this state amply justifies the adoption of woman suffrage by the people in October, 1911; and be it further Resolved, That so successful has been the operation and effect of granting political rights to women equal to those held by men, that it is generally conceded that were the question to be again voted on by the people of this state, it would be re-endorsed by an overwhelming majority; and be it further Resolved, That the adoption of woman suffrage by California is one of the important factors contributing to the marked political, social and industrial advancement made by our people in recent years, and that any disparagement of the cause of woman suffrage attempted elsewhere on the ground that woman suffrage is not satisfactory to this state, has no basis in fact, and is signally disproved by the acknowledged intelligence and discrimination shown by women voters in the settling of our great political and industrial problems at the polls.
