of the most liberal forms of county an
municipal government and we solemn
ly pledge ourselves to omit no endeav
or to secure those forms of govern
ment which are "instinctive with tn
American" and regarded as part o
his birth right.
90 We declare ourselves in favo
of the repeal of the law which require
the Chief Justice Of the Supreme Cour
to make biennial report to the Legis
lature, which law affords that ofcia
a pretext for intermeddling in politics
and matters OF Legislation entirely be
yond the scope of n proper report.
| go We condemn the passage of 9
law by the last Legislature authoriz.
ing two or more corporations to form
partnerships, and we charge that
said law was devised for the purpose
of enabling corporations to evade that
just and sensible prohibition in the
Organic Act against the holding OF
more than one thousand acres Of land
by a corporation: and we harge fur
ther that said law Is directly contrary
to the laws of Congress and opposed to
the policy of enlightened states, as wit
messed by recent and almost universal
legislation aimed at corporate asso-
citation and combination. And we call
upon the Congress Of the United States
to Immediately repeal said law.
DENOUNCE THE LEGISLATURE.
(O We denounce the appropriations
wade by the last Legislature for the
lay of public officials and 4or other
purposes as extravagant and wasteful
IN the nninf of WI
oe proportion to the value of the SER
vices which said officials are called up
on to perform, finding no warrant in
the almost bankrupt condition of this
Territory and not justified by the ne
cessitles of the situation. And for the
same reason we denounce the passage
Of the so-called Loan Bill' and we do
hereby beseech the President of the
United States to make a careful and
critical investigation of the necessity
for such bill before giving his ap-
oroval to any of the bonds which it is
to issue Hereunder.
(S) We denounce the attempt that
S being made by the supporters of ex-
sting conditions in this Territory to
'aise race issues, and we charge that
such attempt is being made for the
'ole purpose of misleading the people
