passage Of laws compelling the railroads to pay
. fair and equal amount of taxation upon all
property owned or controlled by them in this
State.
Eighth-We believe the office and duty Of

and in the transactions Of the business Of the

most intelligent, Industrious enterprising and
discreet business men in the State, hereby

Ninth-That the education Of the children Of
the State is . matter of deep public concern

State demand the fostering caro- OF all good citi-
