Tiie attorney general prefaced his argu ment with the statement that the ah'e, convincing find conclusive argument pre sented to the court by Mr. Null, was founded upon the most conservative of the decisions that have been rendered by the highest courts in support of the claims made by the defendants in these eases. "I now propose," «aid the attorney gen oral, "to iirecf the attention of the court to the most advanced ground which has been taken by the highest court of the land in maintaining, what may he called, tlie rights of the people ad against the corporation*, "That the legislature of a state has a right to fix, either directly by nn net of the legislature, cr indirectly through a commission, reasonable passenger and freight rates, upon traffic wholly within the state borders, is now so well settled as to be beyond controversy.

It scerns to „, that there is no other alternative than to is.ue each one of these cases a temporary writ of jujun'-tioti against the raiiwav cormuis sloners from eaiiMiig to be publishwl this schedule ot rates. There will be no injunc tion issue agaimt the attorney general !)f the couf in each ease. "I might rciVr t„ some points made bv course for ti.e .Icfendants, which the counsel niay think that the court has o\cilooked, but I have tried and endeav ore«l to give this case as mu.-h patient and 'aretul consideraton as possible, and the argument has extended over a wide field. Some of the arguments would be applica ble were the case l»efn,e the v o u V ie. lar.i 0 the other parti..*, mentioned in the suit, and there wi,! i,. an or( ], or lanal hearing. "It was suggested ',v the .-ir:0rney gen cr(il thill the bills wrn* nut ^ood, for the reason that the bills had stated the cx p» use- and earnings of the state of South Dakota alone, withot.t takiog in the whole lino of road, and that position was sought to be enforced by citing the recent tax case in the Tinted States sirrcnie court, thai held that the state of Ohio could only assess railway property for the purpose of taxation by taking the whole value of the road into consideration, and on the whole va'tjp find the proport-'onate value for the state of Ohio. Put it dc.es not seem to me that that is a parallel case, and in the absence of any oilier au thoiitv, I I eel controlled by the opinion of Judire llreucr in the case of Aimcs vs. the I nion I'.ii-nic, ^hcre he asserts that that method would not bf permissible, It may be that the 1 n !''d States supreme court will find some ne\,- method by which the earnings and expenses can be appor tioned, but until that time I am jrnverned by •Tudue lirewer's decision. "There was another matter in i. •.! to the t'hii-ago and Northwestern road oniv claiming a reduction of iM.OiHi. Now, I read these bills when they were filed, and 1 read them again last nipht. and I tmd that the Chicago and Northwesrorn road alleges that that is the reduction on its freight business, and go. ..n further i:: states a reduction of .'J em on p- senger rates. "There are of couive some illustrations as to the courts issuing injunctions in favor of railroads and not to anybody else, which 1 do not think ouunse' intended to have any influence with tins court, for the reason that no railway that I am aware of has failed through business com petition and went into a court of equity and asked ,e court help them out. It i* only when the legislature in an at tempt to reuulatc th:» rates through the board of railway (omtnissiotiers impose a schedule of rates that will not allow the companies to e :?t anil do business, that tliev come into court.

St. Louis and San Francis," Railroad com pany. vs. (Jill. h( I S. 573. "The true value of a line of raiVoad is something more than an ngjrregation of the values of separate part p. operated sep arately. It is the aggregate of those yp' ucs, plus that arising from a connected operation of the whole, and each part of the road contributes not merely the va'ue arising from its independent^ operation, but its mileage proportior of that flow in" from a continuous and connected operation of the who'e. This is no denial of the mathematical proposition that the whole is equal to the sum of nil its parts, because there is a value created by. and resulting from the combined operation of a'l it* parts as one continuous 'ine. This is something wl'hh does not cxNt. and c-inuot exist, until the combination is formed Now. when a road runs into two states each state is entit'ed to consider as within its territorial jurisdiction, and subiect to the burdens of its taxes what may perhaps not inaccurately be describ ed as'the proportionate share of the value flowing from the oporaCon of the entire mileage as a sing'e continuous road. It is not bound to enter upon a disintegration of values, and attcmut to extract from the total value of the entire property that wbic hwould exist if the miles ot road within the state were operated seperately. Take the case of a ra Iroad running from Columbus, 0., to Indianapolis, Ind. Whatever of value there may be resulting t'i .,r ii-io., ,,f that 1 1 »«mu in rtl i'tisUlCtl ivJ li.O ii the road in Indiana and partly to that in Ohio, and each state has an equal right to reach after a just proportion of that va'ue, and subject it to its taxing pro cesses. The question is, how an equity be so- tired between the states, and to that a division of the value of tb» entire prop ert\ upon the mi'eage h.i«is is the legiti tnate answer. Taxing a mi'eage share of that in Indiana is not taxing property outside the state In the na ture ot things it is practically impossi ble at least iu respect to railroad prop eriy -to divide its valu\ and determine how much is caused by one use to which it is ]iu and how much by another. Take the case- before us: it is impossible to dwinien-grate that portion of the road in Indiana and determine how much of that vahie springs from its use in doing interstate business, and bow much from doing business entirely within the state. An attempt to do so would be entering upon a mere lield of un-ertainty and speculation. Decided May 2(5. 1^94, in Cleveland, C. C. and St. P. R. Co., vs. liackus. 154 I*. S. 1045. The attorney general then called atten tion to the fact that the companies had alleged their operating expenses in a lump stun, they had not itemized so that tin- court could pass on whether they are reasonable and economical and quoted from .Justice Brewer in the case of Chi cago and (Jrand Trunk railway vs. Well man: "It is agreed that the defendants operating expenses in 1S8S were $2,404, 51(5.54. Of what do these operating ex. pon-os consist? Are they mule up partia' ly of extravagant sa'arier —fifty to one one hundred thousand dollars to the pres ident and in like proportion to subordi nate otlicers? Surely, before the courts are called upon to adjudge an act of the legislature fixing the maximum passenger rates for railroad companies to be uncon stitutional. on the ground that its enforce ment would prevent tn^ stockholders from receiving any dividends on their in vestments, or the bondholders any inter est on their loans, they should be fully advi^d as to what is done with the re ceipts and ear-nine's of fhe company, for if so advised it ini ht clearly appear that a prudent a:id honest management would, within the rate* prescribed, secure to the bondholders their interest, ami to the •tockiioideis reasonable dividends. While the pioiection of vested rights of prop erty supreme duty of the courts, it has i a ••.r.ie to this, that the legislative power u- s subservient to tiie dis ret'on of any railroad corporation which may, by o.vorbitanl and unreasonable salaries or in some other improper way, transfer its earnings into what ir sa pleased to call operating expenses In conclusion he said, tii.u he had on'v examined the complaints oi" the Chicago, Milwaukee and St, Paul and tits Chicago and Nortiie. e-teni companies.
