STIRs EQUALIZATION BOARD
Imposing of Penalty Will Cause Incon-
veniences Throughout the
State.

Springfield, H.. Nov. 22.-Members
of the board of equalization are up in
arms over the condition of affairs dis
closed Tuesday at the meeting of the
capital stock committee when Chair
man Barnes called attention to the alb
sence of reports from corporations, and
the difficulties attending the collection
of statistics regarding the capital stock
of the state.
The condition this year is worse
than ever before at this time of year.
and there is a general disposition -
take drastic acton in the matter For
some reason the large number of cor
porations which heretofore compiled
with the boards request for reports
this year calmly ignored the notices
sent out, and others have made re-
ports so meager in character as to be
practically valueless.
Reports DemOrnIiziDg Effect.
Chairman Barnes believes the situa-
ton is the result of attempts of the
Legislature to exempt certain classes
of capital stock from taxation. and.
enormously. the impression is con
veyed by illegal statutes that certain
classes of corporations are not re-
quired to make returns The example
of a number of corporations relying on
these enactments and declining 10
make reports, he says, has had a most
demOralizing effect. for hundreds OF
corporations not included in these
classes have been given the impression
that q return is not obligatory
Since the attorney general had told
the board that it is the duty to assess
mercantile corporations a few of the
bigger concerns in Chicago have pre-
sented reports. but hundreds of corpo-
ratiOns are still out. and among them
are some of the important ones. Chair
main Barnes has been sending notices
calling attention to the law and re-
questing that the board be given infor-

with the results up to this time

legal assessment OF course we can't
reach all cases, or even a decent per-

the injustice of penalizing comes in:
