Springfield, Ill. Dec 1S.-Secre-
tary of War Dickinson and w. S.
Horton of Chicago, general counsel
of the road, argued for the Illinois
Central today in the tax case before
the state supreme court.
They contended the law gave the
governor power to act upon the ac-
counts and the fact that the governor
had for 80 years accepted the pay
ments made by the Illinois Central
without questioning the correctness
of the accounts bars the state from
proceeding against the company for
alleged back taxes. The company
also claims that under its charter it
was to pay but 5 per cent of it's gross
earnings on charter lines into the
state treasury, instead of 7 per cent
claimed by the state, and that when
the income for a given term has con-
tributed its percentum there is no
obligation that it again has, either by
the charge directly upon its
receipts, or by taxing the profits of
the income derived from the reinvest-
ment of such discharged income, and
