| No man fears more than myself tho RESULTS
OF allowing corporations 10 own Or control

CORPORATIONS who desire to retain the
ownership OF tae vast tracts to be used in 8
business that neither enriches or improves
the land or settles the country. ms and
every other state should guard against this
growing evil. Thus lar the senators and
myself are agreed, and II this llEht had
dawnei carrier in his senatorial caieer
when he was voting 10 sell the school inrdS
at so cents and 81 per acre TO CORPORATIONS
or any BODY else, we might have seen fewer
wire Cutters aud u happier eople.
He is Low, theoretically as rabid AS
would have him against tue encrOaChmenl
OF corporations, but his bill has no lnhibt
ton against them, and practically is II
their interest.
The senator meets us again with the old
cry, "put money iato the school fund, anC
save the people from taxation. This sum,
cry beguiIed the people in sustaining you
in the sale Of lands NJ 50 cents and 81 that
were sold for 81 and So per acre IN less thar
twelve months, and frequently before the
purchaser had paid the state one cent

greater than their wisdom. NO, Mr.. Fresi'
