| in our method Of assessing corporate
property for taxation, especially the
property of railroads. In the recent
convention of the party whose adher-
ents prevail In this assembly, the con-
| tests were squarely made on this
issue; numerous resolutions We're
adopted calling for such modification
| of our laws as would insure not only
the equitable taxation of the railroads,
but assessment of the full valuation of
their property; and the nomination of
state officers was generally in har-
mony with such sentiments variously
depressed by the rank and file of the
party. The committees on ways and
means and judiciary that have most to
do with the consideration of revenue
measures have, therefore, been COM
posed. for the most part, of those
favorable to legislation that will pre-
scribe definite and uniform procedure
which shall guide and assist our our
administrative officers in assessing
railroads and thereby reduce to the
lowest degree practicable the intrus-
ion of personal preferences or preju-
dices in this important work of gov
eminent or the perversion of asses
serial powers. All views have been
recognized, and some who may oppose
material modification of the existing
statute have been included in the make
up of the committees.

majority of each committee that will

officer. 1t is perhaps necessary for me
