3. There should be no further
legislation regulative of the indug.

of legislation of that character
now existent shall be made inaui,
feat by actual operation thereof.
4. The incorporated dollar
should render the same obedience
to law and receive the same proteo

rated dollar. The property of the
citizen, whether owned and oper
ated individually or in that form
of human effort known as a corpo
