clause a railroad before issuing any

in respect to railroads which are or
ganiZed through the courts. A pro-
vision is made that upon the re-or-
ganiZation of railroad through court
proceedings stocks and bonds cannot
be issued for more than a fair value
of the property.

the measure provides that railroad

sonableness.
