What reading level is Illinois in the War; An Address to the Commercial Club of Chicago book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gentlemen, in addition to whatever it did to help win the war, the State Council of Defense of Illinois was a money-making 8 ILLINOIS IN THE WAR institution. We cost the people of Illinois money, to be sure — between S150,000 and $175,000. Fifty thousand dollars of this the Legislature gave us, and the rest we secured by passing the hat — chiefly here in Chicago. It is our intention not to ask the state for any further sum. But notwithstanding this, we really made money for the people of the Un...ited States — made around $450,000, or nearly three times what we cost the state — in legi- timate, patriotic enterprises — enterprises which we believe did a great deal of good in themselves, besides being profitable.
In addition to the $140,000 we made out of seed corn, and turned over to the government, we also made over $300,000 out of our Patriotic War Show on the Lake Front. We have turned over to the Committee on Public Information $300,000 already (I very much regretted having to do so, but under the Congressional enactment there was nothing else for us to do), and will have another small check.
