Legislation Important to Women since 1900.
In 1902 the Equal Rights “scociasivn coveted its onergies to prev-“t 95¢
+9f-cl cf rhe law granting school snvvwmﬁa in tho women of the three ascondbe
class cini9s,—Covingn3n, logdngton and hcwport, which had been passed in
I904. ‘The legislator: frOm Lexington, for purely partican renconc, worked
to repeal the law, and ﬁuccoedod, by a strict Democratic party vote, in
spite of remonstrance from a very large and representative petition from
the woman of Lexington against it.

- In I903 the Ky.Equnl Rights Association was incorporated under the
laws oquentucky. - »

In I904 no legislaﬁiv. successes were obtained, though the Aoao.cone
tinued to ask for school suffrage for all women, a coaguardianship law, and
lome others of less importance.

In I906 the General ﬁscembly raised tho ago of protection for girls
from 12 to 16 years. The Ky.E.R.A. had for years advocated such a bill.
asking that the age should be 18; but the law was at loot past witout the din
rect effort of the 'sso.. though it justly claim: a large part in forming
a favorable public opinimn.It had again naked for school suffrage without
success.

In 1907, the State Federation of Women's Clubs having taken up the
advocacy of School Suffrage for women, and believing their efforts would
be impeded by the advocate: of full suffrage asking for the same bill,

2.
the Convention of the H;,H.R.i,voted in I907 to leave-the School iuffrage
bill in the handa of the Federation of 7omnn'a Clubs, and devote itself to
otnor bills. The if’islativa “on: t??? cfrhi- Foderation -$3 then ﬂufor

K’o EeR.A.
In 1908 no legislative succeosos worn won,

In I9IU the Ky.E.R.A. oecured the passage of an excellent co~guardiano«
ship bill, giving motnors equal riWhts with fathurs in the nurture,and care
of minor children. We are indebted for thin law to State senator A.R.Bur~
nam, and in tho House to Representative Wm.F.Klair. This bill was the last
of general importance which tho Ky.3.ﬁ.ﬁ. had worked for; and since than it
has been too policy of tn association to ﬁcvota its legiola iv; onergie:
solely to Suffrage bills, allowing other oociotioo to take the load in
general logiilation, though tum vase. holds itsalf ready to lend asaistnnce

In 1912 the Legislative Committep of tho Tudorqtjon of Woman's Clubn ob»

April 50, 1915.

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS:

At the ntockholdern meeting held at the offices of the
Company on January 15, 3915, the following resolution was passed
by a unanimous Vote of the Board of Directors:

RESOLVED, that We, the Board of Directors. feel that
our President, being nearest to the business, is in a
better position to judge than we are, and want the
stockholders to hear her opinion frankly eXpressed, it
is our judgment that for the sake of the Suffrage move-
ment in the country at large, which would suffer a great
1033 if the Publishing Company should go out of exist-
ence, the publicity given to the organization of the
Publishing Company and the loss of prestige which would
inevitably follow an acknowledgement of failure, the
Company be continued.

My report as President of the Company was thought by the
other directors to be too pessimistic and yet they felt that in jus-
tice to the other stockholders my position should be made known to
them. I was therefore reguested to senﬁ each stockholder not pres-
ent at that meeting a statement of the situation of the Company as
embodied in my report and the resolution of the Board of Directors.

As you already knew, the organization of the Publishing
Company was completed on January 25rd, 1914, when we took over the
business of the Literature Department of the National American
Woman Suffrage AsSOOIation. This first year has been a very hard
One for us and, although we have dOne all that we could, we have
not made the business what it ought to be.

Have you stopped to realize the difference between the
financial status of the Suffrage Association and of the Publishing
Company? There is not a single Suffrage Association which is not

- 2 -

supperted by membership dues and donations. The Publishing Com-
;any on the contrary maintains, of itself, a paid oft:ce staff of
six persons, pays rent and all extenses from the sale of litera-
ture and novelties and must be entirely solf~supgortirg.

The only possible way that it can be made Self-support-
ﬁne is by doing a very large business.“ This weave the absolute
co-operetiOn and support of all the State Assoziations. Thin we
have not had. The larger State Asrcciatiuns feel that they do not
need us. They CAN print large quantities as cheaply as we can; in
fact, sometimes cheaper outside of New Yerk, and I see no desire
on their part to help maintain the ?ublishihg Cempany. They do
not realize that WE must pay for proof-reading and time spent with
the printers, while THEY can get this done by volunteer serviCe.
We have no volunteer service to call on, except the President,
who is now giving all her time, ard the Board of Directors, who
can only give a limited amount. We have had a letter from one
Association plainly stating that this time costs them nothing.

Moreover, Our publications until recently have never
been copyrighted, and after we have spent much time and money in
gathering material and bringing them up to date, any association
can take the results of our time and labor and get them reprinted
for very little money. This fact, more than any other - that the
Iational ASSOCiatiOh has never copyrighted its writings, but has
generously given them to anyone to use - has been the stumbling
block to the business-succeSs of the Publishing Company. For the
sake of our continued existence we are now protecting ourselves by
copyrighting our publications, but the trouble still remains with
much of our literature. Many of the associations take our litera-
ture. on which we have spent time and money, and print them Under
their own name, thus decreasing the demand upon us.

We had a deficit during this first year. I fully realize
that no business eXpects to make a ;rofit at first, but while the
prospect of better business is in sight, our oneness will entirely
depend on the support given us. I do not feel that we have the co-
operation of the different organizatione which we have a right to
eXpect when we were organized for their benefit.

While it is true that large organizations do not need
us, the smaller ones depend entirely upon the Company. The weaker
associations can not print in quantities, and to them we are a
real necessity. Since the Publishing Company was formed for the
benefit of the suffrage movement in the United States at large,
and since we all have at heart primarily the good of the Cause,
the Directors felt that we must continue until the next Convention.
The deficit this first year is very small; the Company could dis—
solve now and pay dollar for dollar, but the Directors feel that
it would be a calamity to do this.

If we could look forward to the loyal support of the
State Associations, if they would realize the NECESSITY of their
co-operation, I believe the Publishing Company could be made to
pay. It is up to them squarely. It depends absolutely on that
co-operation whether we can make a success of the publishing of
literature or whether we must dissoIVe at the next Convention.
At that time, it must be decided what we are to do.

m 5 _

Unless each on& of you Stockholders can urge on your own
organization, for whom we were created awd 0n whtm we depenﬁ for
our existence, to come to us for évyry kind of printing and sup-
plies and never ERINT ANYTHING elsewhere, I do not feel that the
Company can be successful.
