nal, which was granted, to-wit:

ing its faith for other purposes Secondly because there
is guarantee that the bonds and loans granted by the
State will not be used together with the stock of the
corporation assisted basis for banking purposes
and thus the State become involuntary aid to banking
companies Thirdly, because l believe that unless the
State is secured by mortgage otherwise by proviso
the Constitution there is every Judging the
experience past to fear that spirit of speculation
will be epgendered based upon the responsibility of the
nd in tn ut
large Fourthy because heahful spirit of enterprise
and internal improvements only be secured by re-
strctions upon the Legislature and protection the
people against the Enwarraned abuse of representative
power for the benefit of very few,
