To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
all the rail- roads in Wisconsin with a request that the presidents and attorneys of the roads attend in person and present the arguments of the cor- porations, if the proposed plan of taxing the roads on an ad valor- em assessment should be objectionable to them. This course was adopted because there had been so much complaint during recent years concerning the railroad "lobby." These complaints had been made on the stump, in the administration newspapers, and in cam- paign -literature. The "l...obbyists" were represented to be men without consciences, responsibility, or principle. They were class- ed as "hired men" whose business it was to defeat all kinds of legis- lation that, in their opinion, might be detrimental to their em- ployers and of advantage to the people. A conference with the lobbyists, therefore, was not desired by the committeemen. They wanted the railroad presidents and heads of the legal departments at their meetings if possible. Such a conference could not fail to enlighten both the members of the committees .
