TO SUE ROAD
FOR MILLIONS
Illinois Central Derelict
In Paying State
Its Dues

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 1.-THE suit
of the state of Illinois against the
Illinois Central railroad will be filed
in the superior court today or Tues
day.
The court will be asked to order an
accounting. The state cannot ascer-
tain, by reason OF the complicated
records. just how much back taxes
to claim. but this will be settled dur
ing the litigation. The company is
required to pay the state five percent
Of its charter lines gross receipts, ana
must supply the state auditor with an
annual statement Of all Of its property
for the purpose OF taxation. The
taxas and the Ave percent m ust equal
1T least seven percent Of the com
pany's gross receipts. From 1859
to 1885, says the petition. the COM
pany refused to list with the auditor
its stock, property and assets for the
purpose for state taxation and refused
to pay into the treasury an amount
equal to at least seven percent Of the
gross receipts or income derived from
the charter lines.
Grievances Are Specified.
Among the other alleged practices
of the road whereby the state loses
its share in the proceeds are as fol-
lows:
Giving mileage books to newspapers
valued at $1.4S8.700; carrying freight
for branch lines without charging for
terminal facilities: allowing rebates to
shippers; collecting large sums from

commissions across the water in order
that England might be improved by
reason of the advances made in Amer
lea. He has given added impetus to
the schools Of England by sending many
teachers to the United States to OBJ
serve and learn. He himself has
studied this country from many points
Of view, and studied it not from the
standpoint Of a hostile critic but from
that Of one who seeks to know in or
der to improve himself. For these rea-
sons the opinions of Mr. Mosely are
entitled to great respect, and when he
expresses his belief that the high stand
ard of living Is a real peril to Amer
lea it is worth while to consider the
subject. This high living often ap-
pr0aches ruthless extravaganza, he
says, the luxuries of yesterday being
counted the necessities of to-day. A re-
action is bound to come, and when it
does it will be attended by disaster.
No one can doubt that Americans, as
rule, live well. But they can afford to.
Some Of them are spending all they
make, some more than they make, but
others have accounts in the savings

from the high living does not seem so
important as the other suggestion that

years." Mr.. MOsely notes, lone was i'm
pressed with the thorough way in which
everything was done and every detail
thought out, but the same is not true
to-day. On the contrary, there are
signs that everything is becoming slip

| charge brought by foreigners against
American methods. 1t is said that we
DO not build for all time but for few
years only. 1t is said that our prod
ucts are not comparable for nicely and
precision with the output Of the manu-
featuring establishments Of the old
world. We have been fairly content
with the results when American made
goods have come into competition with
those of other nations, and yet even
this good record should not blind us If
there is such a marked deterioration in
