such additional legislation as tn

they should be so conducted a.
to satisfy poor and rich alike

the adoption of some system by
which this State shall furnish
the text books at the lowest pos.

Res0Ired, That owing to the
remote position of Nevada from
the seaboard and the entire alb
sence Of navigable waters and
competing lines Of railroads to
and from commercial centers,

terms of equality in respect to
transportation charges with COM
munities specially favored by
railroad monopolies.
Resolred, That we pledge the
Republican party of Nevada to
such a course of enlightened
Legislation as will extend to rail-

same protection and the same
rights before the law as accorded

less. And further, that the Re-
publican party favors and de-
mands at the hands of the State

ting and equalizing freights and
fares on all railroads within this
State.
