Illinois Corporation Tax Dodgers.

Some of the arguments before the

Illinois. some of them at least. in max
ing their returns TO the state board OF
equalization did not always give the
full value Of their property. The hints
dropped in this direction should prove
business it is 10 look into the matter OF

reap A rich stake from the people. and
it is no more than right that these
great corporations should make a fair
and square return of property values
for the purpose of just taxation.
When corporations dodge taxes, the
extra burden is dropped upon the
shoulders of the people, who should in
deed pay less and the corporations
more taxes. OvertaXatiOn is a burden
many of the common people have TO
bear. and there seems no relief: but
difficult as il is for the oveT-taXed in
dividual to obtain relief. it is much
more difficult TO hold the gigantic cor
porations to a fair taxation of their
immense and widely scattered proper
ties.
Justice calls for an investigation. if
