Mclntoab beginning where he left off Mondav after noon. Moat of his address In ths forenoon waa devoted to a recapitulation of the caae irom toe standpoint of the relators. After the noon recess he talked one' hour,, and then. yielded the floor to Attorney John L. Webster, who closes the areument for the respondents. Mr. Webster will prob ably finish Friday night. The referee will then decide whether ha will admit dence, and upon thla decision will depend whether the case will conclude this week or whether It will drag on into tha II rat week of April. In anv event It will not continue longer than Saturday, April S, as tne reteree will need ten days In which to prepare nia report, which must be filed with the supreme court by April 16. intangible cronertv waa tha nnlnt tn which Attorney Mclntoab devoted most of ois attention yesterday. "Aa Mr. Mora. man told us the other day." said he, "the way to get at the value of a franchise to to add the value of the lanital iinrit to ine bonded lndebtedneaa of tfia mrnnra. tlon, and then from this deduct the value oi tne langinie property. The reault will be the value of the Intanaibla nronartv. nr. tn otner words, tne franchise " But tha atatllta mm ra mwm mn.. i.Y...-. ' " ..., a. u u i. v. l the bonded indebtedness M m the valua ef tne capital stock." object' Referee Ryan '.True," aald Mr. Mclnth. "and there la no doubt but that to aa error. It'a an ob- vloua error. In fact." 'Admitting that it la. would wa K. .t uocrty to ao exactly tne opposite of what the atatutea tell us to do?" We would not only be at lltvaptv mm honor, we would be bound to do the thing mat win enable us to ascertain the fair cash value of this property. That Is the fundamental duty that to Imposed upon us Street Railway aa Example. Take the Omaha Street Railway com pany, for example. Why, If that corpora- ion waa worth only as much as the assessor says It is, it to Insolvent and ought to be in the hands of a receiver. It wouldn't be able to pay 60 cents on the dollar of its bonded lndebtedneaa. It was assessed at 1625.000. This la 40 ner rent nf 11 KR3 KfWi but the company has a bonded Indebtedness oz i6.uuu.ooo. this looks llks a denlorabls atate of affairs for the street railway com pany, but aa a matter of fact, there hasn't been a time in the last six months that you could buy a dollar a worth of stock for less than SO cents. I know, for I've tried It." Mr. Mclntoah read from an nntnlnn hv Justice Brewer on the subject of franchises. He read In part: "In our complex civilisa tion of today a lane Dart of tha nronertv of the community Is Intangible. A man re ceives a promissory note; this Is a type of Intanaibla nronertr. It renreaanta a nrnm. Ise to pay, and eventually will he converted into caan. it is worth money to the holder and may be sold or traded by the holder as any Other niece of nronertv. Tn allmlnata thla, then, from the taxing power would be obviously unfair. Take another example. A brides is built at a eoat nf 11 700 nnn it Is so located with reference to railroads and market that It is worth to Its owners $1,900,000, and, could be sold for that sum. Then' It waa obvious that the atata haa a right to assess it, not at what It cost, but at wnat it is worm, ana to bold otherwise Is to insult the common Intelligence of every man." Mr. Mcintosh then passed to another phase of the case. "This Is an ordinary lawsuit." aald ha 'and ought to be tried an ordinary law suit. Because the counael. thalr being affected by the outcome, have sought to change the ordinary rule of practice. Is not a good reason why your honor should do so. My experience has been that It is always best to stick to the beaten trail and then we can't go far wrong.

"But suppose I should aaoertaln the basis or assessment, and should report It to the court; wouldn't that be binding upon the Board of Equalisation T" 'No, I think not. but It would aire tha court somsthing to go on.
