When This Notorious Octopus Can Buy Immunity for
Itself from Paying Just
Taxes.

How much did It cost?
The Peoples Gus Light and Coke
Company has been at 1t again?
1t has had its assessment reduced,
while that Of everybody else In Chi.
cngO has been raised.
Merchants and clerks,
Poor and rich,
Brokers and manufacturers,
Grocers and doctors,
High and low,
All have been raised ana the daily
press has been bounding the Assessors
into seeking 1t to every poor man In the
community.
Hut not one word has been uttered
or one protest recorded against the
crime of the year--the lowering Of the
taxes Of the notorious Gas Trust.
The Gas Trust does as 1t pleases.
1t tears up the public streets just
after the taxpayers have been mulcted
to pave them, and It Il not charged a
dollar.
1t charges the city for $50 street
lamps which are never lighted, and
nothing IL said.
1t violates the antitrust law and It
Is unheeded.
1t charges the people 200 per cent
more than 1t ought to for gas, and they
have no remedy.
And now 1t shows the new Revenue
Law to be q farce. for 1t bids open de-
ilance to 1t, by openly securing a reduc'
ton Of Its taxes, while everyone else
Ii raised.

Gas Light and Coke Company pub

gave the net assets Of the Peoples Gas
Light and Coke Company at $0S,5S5,.

Yet the Assessors found only $780,
600 worth Of property belonging to 1t.
The president of the Peoples Gas
Light and Coke Company at Its last
annual meeting, proudly announced
that the net earnings Of the Peoples
Gas Light and Coke Company, over
and above all expenses, for 1905
amounted to $2,OOOOOO.
Net earnings, mind you!
And yet this 1oucern which sailed
away 100000 In net earnings last
year, and which has $8s. 5S5, 800 worth
Of assets. according to the Official state
ments of its offices, has only 81 100, OOO
to Tux. according to the Assessors!
shame upon such Assessors!
They are disgrace to the community
and deserve condign punishment at the
hands of an outraged people.
Just Assessors, fOrsOOth!
They make the Lehman estate, which
is worth 100000, pay as much taxes
as this scoundrelly trust, which Ii
worth $Gs,OOO,OOO.
They make Marshall Field and ever!
