~As it is now, the rules governing
the filing Of reports are provided BY

adopted the railroads Of the state will
use their influence to elect members
of the legislature who will work for
the interests OF the railroad corpora
tions. This Is what the people OF the
state are trying to avoid.
sAt the November election the peo-
pie will vote on new section that will
take the place Of the present section

to another. II is only a short time

It can be shown that the present sec
tion 9 is preventing the building Of
railroads as Is claimed the people can
be depended upon to adopt the amend
