Armour 4 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 POI
and 202 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 transacting
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 4 Co. OF Illinois. 1t also owns
the Armour packing houses ut 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, 1t is 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, Is genuine one, having large
actual assets Of Its own, not mere
paper name. 1t has no separate looks
and no profits separate from thosc ap-
pearlng In the accounts Of Armour &
Co. of Illinois"
After reading the above from the re-
port of the United States Commissioner
Of Corporations, we would like to ask
where our Board Of Assessors aad
Board of Review have been?

collecting the taxes on the stock Of this
