fully guarded in this body as though the
rank and file of the Uniform Rank were
allowed to send a representative hither
/ elected by the vote of the rank alone.

mends that COMMITTEES be appointed to
revise and amend the laws governing the
1 Uniform Rank, SO as to relieve it from
any unnecessary financial or other bur-
dens of which it complains"
