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 1t snail be voted upon. and as above in
dictated. 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,
