Resolved. That the railroad as a
factor in our civilization is only valu-
able as a safe, cheap and rapid means
of transportation for persons and
property. That the monopoly Of
railroads has subverted their usesui-

in operation, converting them into
dear means of transportation. We,

of the San Francisco and Great Salt
Lake railroad company to constru
competing lire OF road across our
State and country.
