, cause Of action in this case. Mr.. Nor
rison urged that the entire cause of
action was in Arapahoe county and
concluded his argument by urging the
greater convenience of trial of the case
in Arapahoe county. This caused
Judge Dixon to suggest that geogruph-
ically Pueblo county Is the most con-
venient of access from all parts Of the
state, and therefore in the matter of
convenience the natural county since
the personal attendance of the re-
spOndent officers under the bill would
probably not be required.
Senator Patterson was entered as of
counsel for the state, and after paying
tribute to Pueblo county entered up
on discussion of the points involved.
He read the statute to show that the
alleged failure of the state officers to
act as board Of equalization was the
cause of action and that was neces-
sarily confined to Arapahoe county.
He urged the right of the state officers
to the change asked. Attorney General
Post followed out the same line of ar
gument and then @. w. Waterman Of
counsel for the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad replied to the attorneys for
the state. His contention was that the
cause of action is in Pueblo county

of Equalization in Denver is only pre-
liminary to the filing of assessment
rolls for railroads in the various coun-
ties. Mr.. Waterman entered at length
into the law, after which Willard Tel
Ter reinforced the position taken by
Mr.. Waterman. Attorney General
Post made a brief closing statement
for the state and Judge Dixon an
nounced that he would take the matter
under advisement until tomorrow
morning.
In making this announcement Judge
Dixon said the application for
change of venue seemed either like a
decided reflection upon the Pueblo
court or like great compliment to
the Arapahoe county court. He said
the case before him involves matters
of greatst moment to all the people Of
the state and that an action to test the
revenue law, which is the purpose Of
this proceeding, might in one way or
another be filed in any or every coun-
ty in the state.
