The suit against the Illinois Central
was filed early in December. 1907. by
the attorney general. following a mes.

legislature, declaring that the road
had been so manipulating its accounts
as to credit millions OF it's earnings

Governor Deneen declared the road
owed to the state from s5.000,O00 to

to Be Heard on Merits-Aetion

Springfield. Ill. Oct. 29.-The state
the supreme court handed down IT'S
long-expected decision in the Illinois
Central tax case. The state won every
important contention with the excep-
ton that the opinion holds the ac-
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.
Put 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
reap reward of $4,000. 900 year more
in taxes than IL has been receiving
from the Illinois Central Railroad
company.
Governor Deneen'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 81 900. 900 to the state every
year.
