ExplanatEOn.-Itw will be seen that the
manner OF voting upon these two proposed
amendmentsis entirely different The reason
for this is that the first amendent was pro-
posed under all act of the legislature passed
prior to the general election law of 1891, and
is to be voted upon subject to the provisions
OF said general election law. But the second
proposed amendment is submitted under an
act OF the legislature passed after the general
election law OF 1891, and i'll terms provides
how it shall be voted upon, and as above in
dicated. The object of the first proposed
amendment is to restrict special legislation.
The object of the second proposed amend
ment is to regulate the taxation of railroads,
sleeping, drawing room and parlor Car com
panies, telegraph and telephone companies,
express and insurance companies. by taxing
the gross earnings or by a licensed fee; and
authorizing specific tax on mining prop
erty.
