ANNUAL STATE INCOME FROM
ROAD Is INCREASED.
Under Courts Ruling Illinois in Fu,-

Year From Road.

Springfield, Ill-In deciding on the
demurrer Of the Illinois Central Rail
road Company TO the suit OF the state
OF Illinois TO collect back taxes from
the railroad. the supreme court ruled
In favor OF the state in all but one
point.
The court holds that tle charter
agreement Of 1851, under which the
railroad was TO pay the state : per
cent Of its gross earnings. is 4 con-
tract. and that the : per cent is not a
tax in the legal sense. The court holds
that all interstate commerce business
OF the road. as well as income from
eating houses, express business OF
charter lines as well as of trunk lines
form the principle on which the : per
cent shall be paid to the state.
Under this ruling the si5.O0o. 600
which the state sought from the IlIi
nois Central. dwindles. roughly estt
mated. to about 1000 GOO.
From 1895 TIE court Laws down the
rule for accounting by which the state
IL is estimated. will receive $s.0o0. .eOl
revenue annually from the road. in
stead Of $1,000. .O00 or less. as at pres
ent.
II is the contention of Gov Deneer
that for thirty-three years the rail
road has been milking" the STATE
