RAILROAD TAXES.
Argument of Counsel Before the Supreme
Court Yesterday.

fSan Francisco POST
The case OF the County of San Mateo
against State Treasurer Oullahan. and the
application of John Rooney for a writ of
mandate against the State Controller to
compel payment of warrant, were heard
Jointly before the Supreme Court to-day.
The two cases cover all the issues involved
in the railroad tax controversy. Railroad
Commissioner Feote, d. NJ. Deimas and
Selden Hetzell represented the State Con-
troiler. J. ii. Mckune appeared for Roo
ney, }. M Wien for San Mateo and w. T.
baggett Tor the AttOrney-General Mr.. Nc.
hune, in presenting his case briefly went
over the issues, and said that the Controller
would certify the railroad taxes 10 the
Treasurer, but that he was afraid he might
certify away the rights of the State and the
present action was commenced to ascertain
what those rights We're.
Mr.. Hetzell argued that the consent
judgments IN the United States Courts in
voiylng Sl45. 800 were void and contrary to
public policy. He also maintained that in
the cases, involving $3.50, 600, judgments oh
tanned in the same Court the Attornev-
General had no right to appear for the
State. His duties were prescribed and
limited. The law directed the Controller
IN tax cases like that before the Court to
prosecute the States cases, and the Attor-
ney-General did not appear for the Con-
troller in those cases. Counsel claimed
that 1t was no part of the duty of the
Acknowledgement, and he quoted from the
statute defining his duties, to accept money
as taxes on account.
Judge Mckinstry asked counsel if the
Attorney-General received money ON he
half of the State, and if it was in full of all
demands and charges, why he could not
pay it over to the proper officer.
Mr.. Hetzell said he had not thought of
that proposition.
Judge Mckinstry-Well, suppose he had
received money less certain penalties or
percentages, could he pay it over?
Mr.. Hetzell-No, sir. We claim that il
would be a void act; that he would have
no right to accept that amount on behalf of
the State, or has any power to stipulate for
the State in matters of taxes.
Judge McKee-Your proposition is that
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT has no power what
ever TO appear for the State in these cases A.?
Mr.. Hetzeli-That is our position pre-
cisely
The case was still on argument this after
noon.

THE LOGIC OF FACT.

Of one thing the present anti-Chinese
agitation ought to convince the people of
the East that it is not promoted by the
rough, the hoodlum and the vicious classes
at one time that belief had some reason for
entertainment now it has none. Senator
Stanford is reported, in a recent interview
as saying that he hoped to influence good
many of his colleagues by pointing out the
unanimity of the sentiment of the people
of this coast upon this subject. For he
added, in effect, the verdict of so many hun
dreds of thousands of American citizens
must address itself with great force to the
men of the East who are not within the
atmosphere of the agitation. And so it
Will. 1t is not reasonable to suppose that
our friends Of the Atlantic will continue
to stubbornly debate the issue with citi-
zens their peers in every respect, whose
logic is the teaching of thirty years of ex-
perience with the Chinese, and who pre-
sent the cold and unanswerable fact that
Chinese competition has driven, and is
driving, the American out of the fields of
industry. The ethics of the humanitarian
schools are as nothing before the stern
facts that confront the wage-winners
thrown INTO competition with the Chinese
lahorer

determined on for another outbreak is not

appearance. A general feeling of alarm and
insecurity is felt among the residents of

success of the enterprise. In days past the
black sand was worked at this place, but

no doubt that this, as well as many other
places along the beach, can be made to pay
rich dividends.
