Why don't the people Of Chicago get
the benefit of It?
The Board Of Review certainly ought
to get enough out Of them to enable
the city to equip good street car line.
Armour & Company. a big Chicago
and Illinois corporation, owns a great
deal Of stock In outside corporations.
Among others Armour 4 Company
Of New Jersey.
The following taken from pages 29l
and ?O2 of the report OF the United
States Commissioner Of Corporations,
tells us something upon this subject !:
'The New Jersey corporation was
formed for the purpose Of transactlng
certain business which the Illinois
CORPORATION was not authorized to
transact. Armour & Co. Of New Jer-
sey operates practically all the branch
houses for the sale Of beef and other
packing house products supplied by
Armour & Co. Of Illinois. 1t also owns
the Armour packing houses at Sioux
City and Fort Worth. For cOnven'
ience the accounts of Armour & Co. Of
New Jersey are carried on the books
Of Armour & Co. Of Illinois. 10 ascer'
tain the business transactions Of the
New Jersey corporation, It 10 merely
necessary to take the accounts relating
to the branch houses and those relating
to the Fort Worth and Sioux City
packing houses. The company, how.
ever, IL a genuine one, having large
actual assets Of its own, not mere
paper name. It has no separate books
and no profits separate from those ~
pearing In the accounts Of Armour 4
Co. Of illinois,"
After reading the above from the re-
port OF the United States Commissioner
Of Corporations we would like to asl'
where our BOard Of Assessors and
Board Of Review have beenf
Ry going back for 6ve years and
collecting the taxes on the st0ck OF this
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1907-10-12

All stocks Of corporations organised
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
up the facts In thIs matter. AZ 1t 10
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 a good total In taxes alone Of $:O,.
OOO.OOO
Twenty millions Of dollarsl
Just think OF It.
Why, that sum would buy all Of the
street railroads In Chicago. equipment
ard all.
Ii would raise the salaries of the
fmmen Of Chicago, and they ought
to DO raised.
1t would raise the salaries OF the
schoo, teachers and they ought to be
raised.
It would give us the best lighted and
best paved and cleanest streets In the
world, and a lot Of other good things
besides.
The Chicago method OF taxation Is
TO take the total valuation and then
make the owner pay on One-fifth 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 60 bak and collect taxes for five
years.
This Is where the twenty millions
will come In.
Let us look at few corporations,
for example, and see what we can fig
ure out.
Here Is foreign corporation to
commence with that We don't find on
recent tax books:
swift's Refrigerator Transportation
| Company, organized under the Laws OF
the State of Maine.
Capital stock, $5.0OOCOO.
Every cent of this stock Is owned In
this city.
How much of II 10 taxed by r,'s
Board of Review?
II, as IL alleged, this stock has e.
capped taxation here. then there is due
the people from this source alone, for
Ave years. at $4,000 per year, the fine
sum OF $35O.0OO, enough to raise the
salaries Of fremen and school teachers
Under the decision Of the supreme
Court OF Illinois. you can 80 back nve

share Of taxes and to shift the burden
Of these exempted taxes on the poor
man, then such government Is u
farce. II so-called government mere
ly consists OF collection of high-sal'
aried ofIiceholders, whose principal OBJ
ject In official life appears to be to
curry favor with taX-dodglns corpora
tions and the officers thereof, It Is time
that the people found out what those
favos, 50 currled, consist Of. The
people are awakening upon this sub
ject. The great majority OF them are
law.abiding but they do not propose
that the law-abldlng shall be done by
the poor alone, while the tax'dodgins
multi.mllllonaires can be law unto
themselves.

five years:
The tax is Z per cent on one-fifth Of

What do you think OF that?
How many school houses would this
sum build?
How many fremen. school teachers
and policemen would 1t pay?
How many electric lights would 1t
put In service?

What Is the Board Of Review going

The North American Transportation
