THE YOUNG MAN ON THE TRAIN.

THE Young man on the train was ge-
nial, loquacious and somewhat self
opinionated; so it was but natural
when he found himself sitting next to a
modest-appearing quiet man that he

holding out taxes on property
valued at more than S8,000,000
Or rather the treasurers of the
countits were refusing to accept
payment of taxes on valuations
made by the county boards while
this action was pending.
The court bad previously an
nouneed that by reason Of the i'm
portance Of the case and the neces-
sity Of examining the volumiuous
authorities which had been pre-
sented on both sides, decision
could not be arrived at at once.
Beside, the mem bers of the court
had business awaiting them in
their respective districts. But aft
er the statement of the attorneys
the court held another conference
on the subject of the adjournment
At the conclusion of il the court
announced an adjournment sine
die thus putting the matter over to
the January term
The case was opened last Friday
and resumed Saturday morning by
the reply of Mrs. T. r. Sorin to
the argument of Attorney General
Clark the day before on the terri
tory's demurrer to tho application
of the Copper Queen Consolidated
company for writ of certiorari.
Mrs. Sorin's argument was com.
paratively brief. She dwelt for
the most part upon the Colorado
statute from which the statute of
this territory of 1887 was taken
and which it had been held by the
supreme court of Colorado did not
empower the state board of equal.
zation OF that state TO do what the
territorial board of equalization
bad done. Therefore the legisla.
ture of Colorado of 1889 had found
it necessary 10 expressly confer
upon the assessing board of that
state the power TO raise and lower
the valuations of property either
by classes or in the aggregate. 1t
was the theory of Mrs. Sorin that
since the statute of Colorado had
been adopted by this territory the
judicial expression of that state
should be made applicable here.
This latter view was supported by
a half dozen authorities from
various states.
In the afternoon the most inter.
esting phase of the controversy
was presented. The night before
IL was doubtful if it would be
reached. That was the applica-
ton of the territory for writs of
mandamus against the boards of
the four counties to compel them
to enterupon their tax rolls figures
made by the territorial board ofl

ties into the investigation. He
regretted also that the district at
torneys OF the counties bad come
into the controversy in this spirit
and he intimated that they were
moved less by the interest of the
taxpayers of their counties than
by the interest of the corporations
doing business in them. He had
no fault to find with the position
of Col. Herring who pretended to
represent nothing else than the
corporations and who was there
fore engaged in the performance
Of a legitimate duty.
Regarding the argument which
had been made by Mrs, Sorin and
Col. Herring concerning the APP
plicability of the Colorado statute,
the decision of the supreme court
of that state and the subsequent
curative legislation of Colorado
and similar authorities which had
been quoted from other states, the
attorney general said that it had
been found that the constitutions
of those states had made it impos-
sible TO do what had been done in
Arizona which has no constitution
The situation was quite different
and he quoted a New Mexico case
in which this difference had been
set forth by the supreme court Of
that territory which is also with
out restricting constitution.
AS to the argument Of Mr.. Ellin-
wood against the mandamus, the
attorney general said that his posi-
tion was not in conflict WITH the
principles laid down by the au-
thorties which Mr. Eiliuwood had
introduced Mr.. Clark said that
he had gone over al those deci
sions and in every one of them
there was either some doubt as TO
the duty to be performed or as to
the officer who should perform it,
In such case of statutory uncer.
tainty mandamus plainly would
not lie.
But here the situation was diff
ferent. There was no doubt about
the duty to be performed by the
county boards. They had been
performing il for lS years during
which no question of the right of
the territorial board had been
raised If the duty was not
plainly specified it was PLAIN by
implication; the whole tax scheme
of the territory pointed to it. The
intent of the legislature too should
be taken into consideration
Nothing else could have been
meant than had already been con.
strued.
Rcverting again to the construc-
tion which had prevailed for
eighteen years, Mr.. Clark said that
under a decision of the supreme
court of the United States the law
under which the territory bad
been operating had become strong
er than the liberalism Of statute
This was the end of the argu-
ment. In reply to~a question by
the court Mr. Clark said that he
would like five days in which to
file Il brief which would include |
reference to the decisions to
which he had alluded in replying
to MIR. Ellinwood He had made a
list of them but bad mislaid it,
Mr.. Ellinwood offered his brief
at once. Col. Herring presented |
his which is made up mostly of
citations. Then after the con-
ference OF the court regarding an
early decision an adjournment was
taken sine die. The case is now
before the court on the two de-
