Session of the Legislature

interests are entitled to the same
rights and the same consideration that
other persons and their property are
entitled to: 70 more and no less. The
people of Virginia, as I am confident,
concur with me in thinking that these
companies are entitled to be given no
special privileges, and that they should
not be subjected to any unjust bur
dens and determinations. Feeling
this, and as Governor of Virginia, in
terested in all Of her varied interests,
it is my earnest hope that this contro-
versy may reach such q prompt and
satisfactory solution as will be beno-
fetal to all parties.
with the approval Of the Corpora

by the Supreme Court Of the United
States both as to jurisdiction and mer-
its.
"2. That the cases in the Circuit
Court of the United States shall be
hastened for decision in the Supreme

as possible.
''3. That the evidence that has al

its merits, each party having the right
to supplement it with additional evi-
