LINCOLN, July ESPECIAL Telegram.)
I'm a brief prepared to be filed in the SUI
preme court in behalf of the State Board OF
Equalization In the mandamus case insti-
tuted by The Bee Building company, At
torney General Trout boldly declared that
in his opinion there Is no doubt that the
railroad franchise is assessable, hat It is
property and property Of value.
He calls attention to the two questions at
issue, whether the franchise is assessable
and how it's value shall be determined. "As
to the second question there is grave doubt
as to the rule" says he. 1.-THE doubt
arises from the dih1culty in separating the
value of a car from the right to use It for
railroad purposes, provided this court
should hold the franchise a separate item
for taxation. On this question there Is
nothing to be added to the legal reasons
and authorities presented by counsel for
the REALTORS and the numerous friends Of the
court"
The attorney general refers to the criti-
cism of the action Of the board in filing
two contradictory answers in the case and
adds: ITO the TRADE Of counsel we reply
that this honorable court will settle the
questions involved in it's usual way, along
lines OF legal Jurisprudence, u~ngoaded and
unimpeded. 1t is to be regretted that such
an action was not begun years ago. 1t in
wolves valuable rights and the public well
fare demands a judicial announcement de-
ining the duties and powers Of the State
Board Of Equalization"
