When it is known tina he price of these
certificates of stock is fixed AT 81 each, the
feasibility -Of the plan of operation i'm
presents itself, and the measure
of success b ONES simply limited by the
ability of reaching the people. 1t is safe to
conclude that no citizen of Texas. having
the interest of the state at heart, would re
fuse TO subscribe 81 to have Texas-which
has more to show and more to gain at Chi
ca%O than any other state in the Union

reached the tritiing sum of u cents per
capita would suffice TO accomplish this re-
suit But with such muniicence as dis
played by Governor HOgg in subscrl ing as
an individual citizen of Texas to the first
100 shares of the capital stock, the work of
Il per capita canvass would be very ma
terially curtailed should the governors
example be emulated by many other citi-
zens.
