STATE OF ILLINOIS rs VICTOR
OVER RAILROAD UNDER DECI-
SION BY HIGH COURT.
0vE7RULES LINE DEMURRER
Case Goes to La Sale County Court
10 Be Heard on Merits-Action
Based on Findings Of Accountants
That Reports Had Been Changed.

Springfield. H.. Oct 29.-The state
OF Illinois won a decided victory when
] the supreme court handed down its
long-expected decision In the Illinois
! Central tax case. The state won every
I important contention with the excep-
! ton that the opinion holds the &C.
counts prior TO 1905 have been ac-
cepted by the state and payment made
thereon, and that therefore they are
not subject TO further inquiry.
But for the future settlements and
for the settlement OF all accounts since
Governor Deneen came into Office. the
court lays down hard and fast rules
for accounting by which the state will
reap reward OF $4,000. 900 year more
In taxes than II has been receiving
from the Illinois Central Railroad
company.
Governor Dement'S Action Upheld.
When the Illinois Central rendered
its first payment under Governor De
mems administration he accepted the
money with the understanding the &C
counting upon which the money was
rendered was subject TO revision. This
act on the part of the governor. the
court holds. makes all transactions
with the road during his administra-
ton subject TO further accounting.
The court remands the case TO the
circuit court OF La Sale county. with
instructions to proceed in accordance
with the views OF its opinion. Unless
the railroad accepts the courts de
cision as final. the circuit court OF
La Sale county will no doubt appoint
a master to go into all the details OF
the accounting since 1905. and the case
may be prolonged indefinitely. At
present the railroad is paying approx
mately s1.OOOO00 to the state every
year
Three Opinions Filed.
The opinion handed down is said TO
be the longest and most comprehen-
sive ever recorded by the court A
peculiar feature Is that three separate
opinions are filed. all reaching the
same conclusions. but by different
routes. The majority opinion was
written by Justice Carter
II is the contention of Governor De-
neen that for thirtg-three years the
railroad has been milking" the state

was filed early in December. 1907, by |

had been so manipulating its accounts
as to credit millions of its earnings
TO the non-charter lines. not subject |
