The capital stock Of all Of the above
corporations being owned In Chicago.
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, big Chicago
and Illinois corporation, owns great
deal of stock In outside corporations.
Among others Armour & 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 & Co. OF Illinois. 1t also owns
the Armour packing houses at Sioux
City and Fort Worth. For conyen'
ience the accounts Of Armour & Co. Of
New Jersey are carried ON the hooks
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 a genuine one, having large
actual assets of Its own, not a mere
paper name. 1t has no separate books
and no profits separate from those ap-
pearing 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 and
Board of Review have been?
BY going back for ave years and
collecting the taxes on the stock OF this
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1907-09-21

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, majority Of the most valuable
escape taxation.
The Chicago Eagle has been looking
up tho facts In this matter, 40 It 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
W good total In taxes alone Of s?O,.

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
fremen OF Chicago. and they ought
to be raised.
1t would raise the salaries OF the
schoo, teachers and they ought to be
raised.
II 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 Ii
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 back 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 hg-
ure out.
Here Is n foreign corporation to
commence with that We don't find on
recent tax books:

Company, organized under the laws of
the State OF Maine.

Every cent of this stock Is owned In
this city.
How much of 1t ,s taxed by the
Board OF Review?
II. ms Is alleged, this stock has es-
capped taxation here, then there Is due
the people from this source alone, for
five years, at $4,000 per year, the fine
sum OF $35O,OOO, enough to raise the
salaries of firemen and school teachers.

Court Of Illinois, you can 60 back I've

Governor Deneen IL now going after

In tnis connection he should not

The Chicago Junction Railway II In.
corpOrated under the laws Of the State
Of New Jersey, and every dollar Of it's
stock Is owned In this city.
And every dollar Of 1t Is taxable
here. Don't you forget that.
Let us see how the taxes Of the Chi.
cago Junction Railway figure up for
five years:
The tax is per cent on one-fifth Of
the valuation.
One-hfth of sl3.ooo,OOO is 100000.
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 It
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 $4,000 more
In taxes to the credit Of the people.
The stock Of the Union Stock Yards
Company of South Omaha, a Nebraska
corporation, Is all owned In Chicago
and taxable here, but 1t seems. like
Others, to have been overlooked.

Boston, Aug 2.--Burning with hat
red for their deadly enemies belong
ing to the rival On Leong Tong So
ciety a band of New York Cinnamon
numbering a dozen or more, and said
to be members of the notorious Hep
Sing Tong organization, entered mar
row alley in Chinatown tonight, and,
drawing revolvers, opened fire upon
half a hundred Cinnamon, killing
three and injuring seven. At the first
volley the Cinnamon rushed for their
quarters. The Hep Sing Tong men
chased their victims into their own
door and shot them down as they
rushed upstairs or into side rooms
Then, casting aside their guns, the
strange visitors ran from the Chinese
quarters, the most of them escaping
the police.
OF the injured, two will probably
die, the others being in serious con-
dition.
After the shooting one of the Hep
Sing men from New York was cap-
tured by policeman as he was run
ming away. The man gave the name
of MIN Sing. He was dressed In
American clothes Later an officer at
the South station took into custody
Hong Woon. aged thirty-four, of New
York, whose hands were powder
stained. Both prisoners are charged
With manslaughter, ~
The police placed under arrest on
suspicion seven other Cinnamon who
are strangers i'm the local colony. The
shooting occurred in oxford place, in
the center of Chinatown, where about
fifty Cinnamon were smoking in the
open air
Fully fifty shots were fired. That
the visitors shot with careful accu-
racy was apparent from the fact that
each of the three men killed was shot
through the heart
The trouble of tonight had been an
ticipated for more than a week. About
ten days ago nearly a dozen China
men who were strangers came to Bos-
ton and rented rooms near China
town. The police were notified of
the fact by Boston Cinnamon. who
feared trouble. Special details Of po-
lice were at once placed on duty I'm
the Chinese quarters and the strang-
ers suddenly disappeared.
The trouble Is attributed by some
to the shooting which occurred in
Philadelphia recently for which the
Boston Cinnamon We're partially blau-
ed. 1t Is thought the Cinnamon who
did the shooting tonight came from
New York to punish the on Leong
Tongs for the Philadelphia outbreak.

concert and with great promptness to
meet the situation that has arisen in
Morocco. A warship of each of these
powers is now in the harbor of Casa

France has proposed to Spain the

prepared three transports at Toulon
to convey $500 men and 800 horses
to Morocco. What further steps if
any, are contemplated has not been
made public. Slight delay and en-
barrassment in meeting the situation
is caused by the absence of Premier
Clemenceau, who is at Carlsbad.
