Cannon of Illinois, in the House of Representatives, April 12, 1916 Lincoln was ambitious. He possessed a law practice that would not be counted lucrative now, although it abounded in a large number of cases. If fees had been paid then of the size of the fees now, with the amount now involved, he would have had a wonderful income. Judge Davis, upon whose circuit he practiced, told me that the largest fee which Mr. Lincoln ever received was in a litigation for the Illinois Central Rail way, touching the 7 per cent of the gross earnings that went into the treasury of the State and freeing the railway from taxation. Mr. Lincoln was successful for his client, and held his breath, and charged but had to sue the corpora tion to make it pay. Mr. Davis, afterwards Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, told me that Mr. Lincoln never before had received such a fee, and rarely as much in the aggregate as a year.
