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

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.

Await Decision la Spald
ing Case.
NEW YORK. March 12 Whether Justice
Truax decides that A. O. 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.
