If the republican party wants to keep
the confidence of the people of this state,
it will be compelled to take strong
stand at its next convention for the equal
taxation Of railroad mileage. There is no
reason whatever why the railroads should
not stand their just proportion of the
public burdens. The party that will next
year declare for equal taxation will sweep
the state like Wildtire.
