10 THE OMAITA PATLT TIEKi THURSDAY, FEimUAIlY 19, 1003. !J MONGER MAY DECIDE FRIDAY ii Argnrarat for BailroadV Temporarj Injuac tion ia Concluded. 4 UNIT ASSESSMENT THE CONTENTION Corporation' Attoraeye Affirm an Mclatoah Denies Rt of Mate . . Board to nictate Kstent of 'Omaha Participation. At the conclusion of the hearing of the application of the t'nlon Pacific and Bur lington railroads for a temporary Injunction restraining: the city officials of Omaha from making "the tax levy for the year 130S. Judge Muner, lrf'the United States cir cuit rourt,' yesterday afternoon announced that be would render a decision In the mat ter Frlday.morning If his opinion Is to be oral., f : he concludes to file a written opin ion It,' will not be rendered until Monday morning,' Be said. The arguments of the counsel for the railroads- and the city consumed the entire day. and,,, aside from outlining dimly the positions, which will be taken ify the con tending forces, was of little public interest, as thu question before the court early came down, to tne point where the city contended, for the purpose of defeating the temporary Injunction, that the railroad companies had filed their complaint prematurely, while the companies, for the same purpose maintained that they-had acted In good time only. ' Indicates Court's View. That this point will be the chief one con sidered by the Judge was indicated by his remark: to attorneys for the railroad during the afternoon, when he said: "The only oueatlon strongly urged by the city Is whether you have or have not acted prem aturelywhether or not you have waited until after the tax was levied." While neither side presented Ita argument on the main Issue fully, enough was said to show that Mr. Mcintosh expects to at tack the constitutionality of the law giv ing the State Board of Equalization power to assess the railroad property as a unit, and that the attorncya for the railroads will maintain thnt the constitution practically places no limit upon the power of the leg islature, and that the provisions of the con atltutlon referring to equality of taxation have no binding effect upon either the leg Islature or any board It may create beyond the equalising of taxes between property of a similar class. ' The morning session v as taken up by Ralph W. Breckenrldge, W. J. Connell and John N. Baldwin. Mr. Breckenrldge dwelt at length upon the merits o( the case. Argues for the Harllnarton. He Insisted that the action now brought by the railroads l to avoid a multiplicity of sultanas action might be brought later to restrain the collection of the taxes, or , to force a restoration after they bad been paid under protest, but ha believed less damage "would result to all ' parties con cerned by this action. The authorities he quoted were all In line with the proposi tion that the unit system of taxation is the only fair and equitable one for railroads. Mr. Connell, in his argument, urged that the action of the railroads upon their plead ings Is premature, as It Is not shown by the bill that the property of the roads Is to be damaged or taken by the city au thorities, and that the assessment does no damage to them, because, it It is void, as they maintain, they have ac tions at law -6 set the levy aside, and no damage can be done anyone by a void levy or assessment. He said the Injunction, If Issued, would place the city authorities In a difficult position, as the funds are limited by specific amounts, so that.lt tbe mayor and council make the levy upon the basts SBked by railroads and it is afterward found that the conten tion ot the city is correct. It will be Im possible to make a levy of the correct amount upon the railroads, as all funds will be tilled to their legal amount and the railroads will escape taxation In that de gree. John N. Baldwin, for the Union Pacific, devoted himself almost exclusively to citing cases dealing with the Issues of this case, waiving aside the contention ot the city attorney as to the prematurenrss of the ac tion. He said that if tbe contention of tbe city Is correct the railroads will have to contest tbe collection of taxea In every county of the state, as they would have al ready paid a large part . of that tax in Omaha. When his argument had concluded the court adjourned for noon. Mcintosh ,lkwi the DlHeraaee. Mr. Mcintosh bpened the argument at the afternoon session. He began by calling at tention to the great discrepancy between tbe amount ot tax paid by the railroads upon property in Omaha and the amount paid by other people owning property of equal value. He then aald that of the eases cited by Mr. Baldwin none came under the peculiar terms ot the Nebraska constitu tion, one section of which provides that the legislature shall not remit or reduce the tsxes due the county or municipality, and that when the legislature; through the State Board of Equalisation, undertakes to distribute the value ot the property In Omaha or any ether city over the entire mileage of the road it attempta to do an act unconstitutional, in that It contravenes this section of tbe organic law of the state. He then dwelt upon the decisions of courts to the effect that la opposing the collection of taxes the complainant shall be required to pay the taxing body that portion of the tax which Is not contested. C. J. Greene, for the Burlington, ssld that the object of bringing the action at this time wss to enjoin the placing of the as sessment on the tsz rolls, where It would stand as a cloud upon the title of the prop erty of the railroads and that It would be Impossible for the companies to pay the tax at this time, as It had not been levied. and maintained that the complainants did not have to make a tender where the ground for action was a void assessment. White Injects Olscer. Ben T. White, for the Northwestern, made the most enlivening tslk of tbe day and devoted himself almost entirely to the polnta raised by Mr. Mcintosh. He said that the total taxes paid by three railroads, the TJD0D pacific, Burlington and North western, for municipal purposes In the state aggregated about $462,000, and In sisted that should the ' legislature permit the different taxing bodies to levy taxes for local purposes It must be upon" the actual value of the physical property, taking into consideration no value of franchise. "The main line," said he, "has a value, re gardless of the terminals, but the terminals hsve no value aside from their connection with the main line." John N. Baldwin cloaed the argument, saying the roads insist that they have shown their right to the Injunction by showing that the proposed levy would place a cloud upon their real estate; that tbia case falling, there would be a multiplicity of suits, both of which grounds, he ssid, are sufficient for the Issusnce of the In junction. Dramatically, he said: "I want to brand as false the statement that any officer of the Union Pacific ever testified that the terminal property at Omaha wis worth 116.000,000. Mr. Bogue said that the property In Omaha, at South Omaha and at stations In the county were worth that, but never that the property In tbe city was worth that much."

In this connection It may be well to call attention agatn to tbe atatement ot Thomas Boyd, clerk of the county tax department, who aald yesterday: "The Omaha Bridge and Terminal company haa not been' as aessed at all this yesr. The state board held that It f bould be assessed aa local property, but 'the commissioners' neglected to ijo so.
