secure just and equitable assessment

enactment OF what is known as the
listing BILL" for we believe that All
inquisitionsl law of that character is
Objectionable and would be detrimental
to the best business in terests of the
state, and no good results would be Sc
cured by such an enactment.
b This remonstrance was headed eby ex-
Gov. ROBBIE and was in circulation only
two days. 1t has the signatures of over
