Mr. President, your commiLtee on reso-
luiions ask leave to report that they have
I had the matter under consideration and
recommend the adoption Of tho following
Resolved, That We favor equal taxation.
, Accordingly mortgages on real property
situated Ia this State ought TO bear their
usL proportion OF the burdens OF Govern .
t ment.
r Resolved, That all corporations In this
State are creatures OF positive law, anc
must DO subject To law. Tho arrogant as
; sumption that they are a law unto them
selves, or that they are the dual aud OK
elusive judges or the measure oftheir own
rights or compensation cannot be tol0rat
cd. Wo therefore favor carefully COZ
sldered law that shall prevent all discrlm
II inations for or against certain localities b,
I transportation companies and that shall
so regulate frelghts and fares on thei
n lines, as To prevent unreasonable aud op
% pressivo charges.
n Resolved, That for tho purpose OF rev
enue for the Federal Government we faVO
the taxation Of luxurloS rather thln the
y necessaries of the people.
u Resolved, That we favor law so sim
h plifyiug proceedings before justices courts
that written pleadings shall not DO re
u quired in any case.
10 Respectfully submitted.
