10 THE offAITA DAILY II EE: THURSDAY, MAHCIt 13, 1002. WEBSTER RENEWS ORATION EndetTon to Show Eefereo that Asseument Quertion ia Closed. HAS LITTLE TILT WITH MR. M'INTOSH Jndge Ilran .Asks Street Hallway Uwr" f Kqnallsatloa Board Acted In Good ralth with fthrlver aad Morton. John L. Webster and W. W. Morsman, counsel for the street railway and alectrlc light companies, took up all ot Referee Kysn's time la the hearing ot tho tax msndamue case yesterday. Attor ney Prltchett. Attorney Woolworth and perhaps Attorneys Hall McCullough are yet to be heard from; then Attorney Mc intosh, for the relators, will have his reply, and the caae will have fairly begun; they mill then be ready for the admission of testimony and documentary evidence. The case is proceeding backward. In a trial court they take the evldenoe first to see whether there will be any oratory, but In this they have the oratory first to see Whether there will be any evidence. When court adjourned for luncheon yes terday Mr. Mcintosh said to a friend: "They haven't sprung any surprlsee on me yet. I'm prepared for all this and have an ticipated every word of it." The monotony of tho morning session was broken about 10 o'clock by a little game of thrust and parry between Mcintosh and .Webster. Webster, who had the floor, was saying: "The time for correcting the tax lists expired on the day fixed for the pas sage of the tax levy ordinance, which was February 4. The time for both the correc tion and the levy has passed now, and " "Under your contention, then," Inter rupted Mr: Mcintosh, "the city of Omaha Is to bs entirely relieved of the burden df 'taxation this year!" Webster Shouts Calamity. , "I believe, sir!" retorted Mr. Webster, "that you have precipitated such a state of affairs here that, if we do have a tax levy, not half of the people will pay. and that you've brought on a condition that is a greater calamity- to this community than you ever anticipated!" "Yes, it la a calamity to compel your people to pay their taxes!" was a rejolner of Mcintosh. At 8:80 Mr. Webster began where he left off Tuesday evening, and his first argu ment was to repeat the point already made, that It the wilt Is granted as asked for it "would compel the council to do an illegal act. "Can you issue a mandamus that ' will compel the city assessor to enter an assess ment of property on the lists after the time for making such assessment hss gone by?" be asked. "You can't disturb an erroneous Judgment by mandamus, so I'm not troubling myself as to whether the hearing was right or adequate or not. "It was necessary that the city council, sitting as a board ot equalization, ahould fix a time when its bearing should end, and your' honor can readily see tho absurdity of it it It were otherwise. Tou would never know when you bad a tax levy If this were not the case. You would have Just aa many complaints as there are taxpayers In the district, and, if they were beard separately, the, hearing would bs prolonged In definitely." Referee Fata sv Foser. ' Judge Ryan Interrupted the speaker. "Did the Board of Equalization bava a right,". be asked, "after setting tho time for bearing tho complaints ot Shrlver and Morton for Monday, January 20, to rescind Its action two days later and decline to hear themT Was not that not only cheating Bhrlver and Morton of a hearing, but the general publlo as well? I ask because I want to understand this as I go along." This query seemed to be something of a poser to Mr. Webster. Mr. Hall stepped up to him and coached him with a whispered bint, but Mr. Webster did not see fit to answer the referee's question directly. He in effect Ignored it and proceeded in the same line of argument be was following be fore the Interruption. A moment later Judge Ryan again Inter rupted Mr. Webster and repeated bis ques tlon, this time with greater expllcitness "What I want to know," be said, "is, could the Board of Equalization set a time for a bearing and, when the parties were oreparlng for it. could the board adjourn without going ahead with It? Was there a bearing on January 17; you haven't made that very clear? Wbat happened on that day?"- ' "These people bad no right to ask this bearing," answered Mr. Connell, taking ad vantage ot tba fact that the question was a double-header. "They bad no right to ask It and the city council had no right to grant It, The relators acquired no vested right by virtue ot the fact that the board set a time tor bearing them." Raises Another Law Point. ' Mr.' Webster then read several author! ties, the essence ot which was that man damus cannot be invoked for the purpose of correcting error committed by a court t or other body exercising Judicial functions. Ha explained Uut this applied to boards as well as to courts. "I understand." said Judge Ryan, "that TALL CORN doesnt come by accident A fertile soil and careful cultiva tion are necessary to produce the towering stems ana heavy ears. Yet the farmer who nnder. stands that he east have a healthy corn croo without feeding and weeding, seems to think that he can have a healthy body without either care or culture. But the body is built up just as the corn la. by the assimilation of the several chemical elementa on which vitality depends. Aad what weeds are to the com. diseases of the stomach and nutritive avstetns are to tha body ; they divert the acces sary looa supply from the proper channels, and the body becomes lean, sickly and ill-nourished. The proper digestion and assimilation of food is a pri mary essential of health. By healing diseases of the stom ach and organs of digestion and nutrition. I. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery increases the digestive sad assimilative powers, stimulates the action of the blood making glands, and sends to every organ of the body the rich red-corpuscled blood on which physical vigor HI .1IAUIJ UCJKBQ.

Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets regulate the bewcla aad cur f"1t"j-lilfny If It Is sought merely to compel a review I of the findings ot the board, then no man damus caa He. That Is generally admitted, and there is no use of quoting msny author ities on that point." Mr. Webster then took a new tack. "Not withstanding the fact," said be, "that the city council and the Board of Equalisation are made tip of the same members, ' they are separate and distinct bodies, . Just aa much so as though tbelr personnel were different, so when the Board of Equaliza tion adjourned sine- die It was dead, and not to be resurrected by mandamus or other' proceeding. The city council is still In existence, but the Board of Equalization Is a thing of the past." Court adjourned for a recess of two hours. Referee Quotes History. Mr. Webster, while engaged in citing au thorities tending to show that the Board of Equalization cannot be rtconvened be. cause It hss adjourned sine die, waa Inter rupted by Judge Ryan, who said: "It la a matter ot history that the legis lature of this state sat aa a board of can vassers to canvass the vote cast for the new state constitution. After having fin ished their work the members declared the constitution lacked the necessary number of votes and was therefore lost. They then adjourned alne die. Later the question was raised that their work had not been prop erly done. They were reconvened; they re canvassed the vote, reversed their first finding and declared the constitution had csrrled. This constitution Is our present organlo law In thla state. Isn't this propo sition similar to the one presented here?" "No; It Is not the same," said Mr. Web. ater, "because the legislature la a law making body, and the power to reconvene Inhered In Itself, whereas the city council derives Its power as a Board of Equaliza tion from the legislature, and not from Itself." But the council makes rules for Its own guidance while sitting as a board," observed Judge Ryan. True, so long as those rules don't In terfere with the general plan of assessing and levying taxes." - Mr. Webster then argued that Mr. Mc intosh had no right to the extreme measure of mandamus, since be bad other remedies at law. "Why didn't he sue out a writ of error?" he asked. What good would that have done me?" asked Mr. Mcintosh. I'm not saying what good It would have done you," retorted Mr. Webster, "but I do say .It would bava done you aa much good as this action will. I'm only saying what you might have done not what the consequences would be." Vision of Hot Weather. "If we would proceed along the lines Mr. Mcintosh would have us we wouldn't be through with this case before hot weather. If the books and records ot the various corporations are to be brought In here, if they age to be examined minutely, if there Is to be the great mass of cross-examina tion that this would entail, and the Interm inable auccesslon ot law questions that would come up, when la this matter to be settled? Wbat good would It do to bring in the books? Take the street railway company. It haa paid out $2,500,000 for Its cable plant, almost every vestige of which has now passed out of existence. The csrs, the rails, the machinery and the fixtures have been sold for "scrap metal, yet tbelr original cost Is shown upon the books and forms part of the company's indebtedness. It would be Impossible to get at the value of the company's property by any such method." Is that tbe reason tho assessor . didn't get at It?" asked Mr. Mcintosh. "The law telle the assessor bow ba shall proceed to ascertain the value ot corpora tion property," rejoined Mr. Webster. "It tells him to go into the powerhouses and estimate the value of what he aaea there, to estimate tbe value of the cars, of tbe ma chlnery, of the lines of track, etc., etc., and make up his report from such inventories. That Is what tba law says, but Mr. Mc intosh would have us bring ia the books. That Is the difference." It was nearly 4 o'clock when Mr. Web ster flnlnshed his address. He was fol lowed by Attorney W. W. Morsman of tbe telephone company, who began by reading one of the five complaints filed with the Board of Equalization. Saye Ita aa Amendment. 'This," said ho, "seems to be an amend ment to a former complaint,' and a motion for a rehearing. Can it ba that the coun sel thinks it Incumbent upon tbe board of, equalization to sustain a motion ror a re bearing? Where does he get his authority for that? Ho certainly know that the dig position of such a motion Is entirely optional with the board, and that It can sustain It or overrule It as It sees fit. Now, It the coun sel is going to rest upon that contention, I caa produce any amount ot authority to controvert It" ' "I don't think there's any room for specn latlon as to my position In this case, it la that we didn't have a tearing." "On an original complaint?" "Certainly, not on an original com plaint, nor any other kind ot a complaint." "What you are trying to do," continued Mr. Morsman, "Is to have that board re convene and review and revise the product of Its own solemn Judgment, You might just as well have said that ou weren't satisfied with the work of the board, and wanted It dona over again. Tbla, aa has been proved here by ample authority, can't be done except aa ia specially provided tor by statute. i "There waa a hearing, as the records show, on January 17. Theae complainants appeared on that day and preaented tbelr objections. The objections were adjudicated; the incident Waa closed; the board ad journed alne die, and now there is no pro cess known to law by which It caa be re convened. It may have been arbitrary; It may have been erroneous, or even illegal- It was certainly not a refusal tp act. Resort . Cats No Klaare. Their excuse . Is that the board makes a false report. Here In a part of the appli cation they quote tho portion of the report which they contend ia falsa. It aays, 'We, the city council, sitting aa a board of equalisation, have carefully and fully beard all complalnta of unequal taxation, and where the assessment has bsen found too high we have lowered It, and whsre too low we have raised It,' etc. But this Is nothing more than the report of the board ot equali sation to the city council. In order that the latter may go ahead and pass a tax levy ordinance. It haa nothing to do with this case." , Mr. Morsman bad not finished when at I o'clock, court adjourned until :J0 tbla morning. iVIIITFIELD NAMES UMPIRES resident of Western Will Select Ken Out side of Oircuit Cities.

BDaldlna- Is legally president of the ' National league or not, tne league will nom a meeting in tnis city, probably on Marcn it. ana carry out an agreement that exists between the Spalding four and the Freedman faction. The World will say tomorrow, (Thursday): Owing to the approach of the base ball season the magnates want to get together to nx uo a schedule ana begin tneir sea son as usual. Following Is the plan that nas Deen agreed upon oeiween tne .ac tions: In case the decision of the court la against 8Dadlna- the clubs that have sup ported htm will again place him In nomina tion ror president ot tne league. The i-Teeaman-urusn iour win name xmick Young. Then the leaaue will beatn bal lotlng Just where It was left off at mid night, December 13, last, four votes for Spalding, and four votes for Young. When the Spalding four have sufficiently demonstrated their loyalty the plan In to have each side name a man who with Nick Young, will compriae a schedule and man aging committee. The election of president will be put aside and a schedule will be prepared and the committee will take com plete management of the affairs of the eague ror tne playing season. In case Justice Truax decides In SDaldlna's favor the suggestion made by John T. Brush In a recent Interview will be car- lied out. Brush remarked that even If Spalding waa austalned in nis contention he would not have sny power over the league, the position of president, secretary and treasurer being purely clerical. The magnates can still appoint their commit, tees, get up their schedule and go on and play oau. BASE BALL LEAGUE FOR IOWA Proposed Organisation to Coaslst of Six Cities, bat More Ask Admission.
