Women Suggest New Laws League of Women Voters Has Program For Legislature Columbia, Nov. .10.?Legislation to raise the age of consent and possibly other measures of social value will be r?commended to the general SSnont Uly which convenes In Jenuary, by llhe M'omcn Voters League, the legis? lative committee of which is in Set? Inlon in Columbia today, framing the legislative program of the women', organization. The idea before the women in the matter of the ago of consent is that this be changed from 16 to 18. The women nre also considering asking the legislature to make the pen? alty sgalnst a man found guilty of seduction fourteen years, as the limit, instead of the present limit of ten years. Oth*?r legislative matters are tavor ed by the women and these will he ar itated, though not all of them will bo presented to the 1921 legislature. Among these ideas advocated by the women voters are u prison farm for women prisoners who are now sent to the penitentiary or the jails; laws re? garding >ury duty and the payment of poll tax by women. It is likely that the coming legisla? ture will be asked to change the slate constitution, to make it conform to the national constitution, in giving the women full citizenship. It is also likely that legislation will be enacted making tho women liable to poll tax? ation. Mrs. Ruth Uodd. of the child hy? giene division of the state board of |health. and clr irmun of the hygiene committee of the League of' Women Voters, will ask the legislature for u law requiring physicians, as well as midwlves. to administer nitrate of sli? ver to newborn bab'rs, to prevent pos s'ble blindness frcm disease.
