heavy burdens upon the people through frequent
and excessive reassessments of the realty OF the

legislature Of laws inviting capital to come in
ard develop the great natural resources of the
state, also condemns the supreme court of an
peals for the overriding of the statutes OF the
state, for the express purpose of furnishing Re
publican newspaper for proper criticism OF itself
