Illinois Central Railway Tax Suit Referred Back for Trial
Springfield Oct 28 The Illinois Central Railway company sued by the state for back taxes tentatively $17 000 000 was defeated in a preliminary trial and the case sent back to La Salle county for merits. Gov Deneen contends the railroad has skimmed seven per cent on gross earnings since 1841. the court ruled the 1851 charter contract is not a tax and that pre 1905 accounts are outlawed while post 1905 accounting duties may yield about 2 000 000 annually. The decision allows a trial on evidence and may affect taxes for 1903 to 1907.
