Chicago eagle., 1907-08-31

All stocks of corporations organized
under the laws Of other States than
Illinois, that are owned In Chicago. are
taxable here.
But through some oversight Of the
Board Of Assessors and Board Of Re
view, a majority Of the most valuable
escape taxation.
The Chicago Eagle has been looking
IN the facts In this matter, as 1t IL
Of paramount importance to every man,
woman and child In the city.
Already enough valuable stock IN
outside corporations has been found
omitted from the tax schedules to foot
up good total In taxes alone of $9O,'
100000.
Twenty millions Of dollars!
Just think Of 1t.
Why, that sum would buy all OF the
street railroads In Chicago, equipment
and all.
II would raise the salaries Of the
iremen OF Chicago, and they ought
to be raised.
It would raise the salaries Of the
school teachers and they ought to be
raised.
IT would give US the best lighted and
best paved and cleanest streets IN the
world, and lot of other good things
besides.
The Chicago method OF taxation IL
TO take the total valuation and then
make the owner pay on One-afth OF that
valuation.
The tax is about Z per cent on this
fifth.
Where taxes have not been paid on
any foreign capital stock, the Supreme
Court has decided that the authorities
can 90 back and collect taxes for i've
years.
This is where the twenty millions
will come In.
Let us look at a few corporations
for example, and see what we can fig
urc out.

Of New Jersey, and every dollar Of its
stock Ia owned In this city.
And every dollar Of 1t is taxable
here. Don't you forget that.
Let MS see how the taxes Of the Chi.
cago Junction Railway figure up for
Ave years:
The tax Is Z per cent on one.fifth Of
the valuation.
One.ffth Of $l3.000O0O is $2.8O0 900.
and the taxes on this for one year
amount to $4,000.
For FIVE years this reaches the re.
spectacle sum of 100000.
What do You think Of that?
How many school houses would this
sum build?
How many firemen, school teachers
and policemen would 1t pay?
How many electric lights would II
put in service?
Where is the Board of Review?
What Is the Board of Review going
to do about It?
The North American Transportation
and Trading Company is capitalized
for $5.OOO.OOO.
Let the Board of Review get busy In
this direction and add $35O,OOO more
In taxes to the credit of the people.
The stock Of the Union Stock Yards
Company Of South Omaha, a Nebraska
corporation. IL all owned In Chicago
and taxable here, but 1t seems. like
others, to have been overlooked.
