Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1907-09-07

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
up the facts In this matter, as 1t Is
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 Il good total In taxes alone OF $2O,.
100000.
Twenty millions Of dollars!
Just think Of 1t.
Why, that sum would buy all Of the
street railroads In Chicago, equipment
ard all.
IT would raise the salaries OF the
Arcmen of Chicago, and they ought
to be raised.
1t 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 Is
to take the total valuation and then
make the owner pay on one-fifth Of that
valuation,
The tax is about : 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
Yeas.
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, S5.OoOCOO.
Every cent of this stock Is owned In
this city.
How much of 1t 10 taxed by the
Board of Review?
If, as 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 $35OOOO, enough to raise the
salaries OF flremen and school teachers.
Under the decision Of the Supreme
Court Of Illinois, you can 60 back i've

years In each and every case for bacl,
taxes and all stock Of foreign corpora.
tlons held In Illinois. is taxable. tho
rate being Z per cent on 0nefifth Of
the par value.
Governor Denecn Is now going nfter
the Illinois Central Railroad for its
bac's taxes for five years.
In tnls connection hc should not
overlook the Chicago Junction Railway.
Neither should the Board Of Review.
The Chicago Junction Railway ia
capitalized as follows:
Common stock, $0.5OO,OOO.
Preferred stock, $0,5OO.OOO.
TotG; stock value. $13,OOOOOO.
The Chicago Junction Railway Is In.
corpOratcd under the laws Of the State
Of New Jersey, and every dollar Of Its
stock IL owned In this city.
And every dollar of 1t Is taxable
here. Don't you forget that.
Let us see how the taxes Of tho Chi.
cago Junction Railway figure up for
five years: ,b.
The tax is Z per cent on one.Afth of
the valuation.
One-ffth OF $13,OOO,OOO Is $4,000, 900,
and the taxes on this for one year
amouit to S1S2,OOO.
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 fremen, school teachers
and policemen would 1t pay?
How many electric lights would 1t
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,OOOOOO.
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, Nebraska
corporation, Is all owned In Chicago
and taxable here, but 1t seems, like
others, to have been overlooked.
The Union Stock Yards Of South
Omaha, is corporation capitalized at
S7,5OO,0OO.
The taxes on this stock, II collected
for five years, would put $5o5,000 In
the peoples treasury.
Where Is the Board of Review?
Why Is this concern overlooked?
Libby, Mcneil & Libby Is New
Jersey corporation capitalized at $2,-

the city to equip good street car line.
Armour & Company, big Chicago
and Illinois corporation, owns a 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 !:
"rhe New Jersey corporation was
formed for the purpose OF transactlng
certain business which tho Illinois
corporation was not authorized to
transact. Armour & Co. Of New Jer-
sey operates practically all the branch
houses for the sale of beef ana other
packing house products supplied by
Armour & Co. OF Illinois. 1t also owns
the Armour packing houses ut Sioux
City and Fort Worth. For cOnven.
lence 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 ana Sioux City
packing houses. The company, how
ever, Is genuine one, having large
actual assets of Its own, not Il mere
paper name. 1t has no separate books
and no profits separate from those ap.
pearlng In the accounts Of Armour s.
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 I've years and
collecting the taxes on the stock Of this

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-01-02

In a suit filed in the circuit court
this morning by Mrs. L. X. Kerbaugh
against E. 7. Dodd, the Pendletor
Tribune and others, 1t is prayed that
receiver be appointed to take pos
session Of the Tribune company's
property and that a full and fair ac-
counting of the papers business bC
made.
The suit was filed this morning by
A. d. Stillman, attorney for Mrs.
Kerbaugh. In the complaint it is al
legged that wher the Pendletop Tri-
bune company was formed on Febru-
ary /. 1905, the plaintiff became a
stockholder to the extent of securing
10 shares Of the par value of $50
each. Continuing the complaint sets
forth many things regarding the af-
fairs of the morning paper. among
other things that subsequent to the
formation of the company and with
out the knowledge or consent of the
plaintiff the property of the paper
was transferred to the Tribune Pub
fishing company. At that time 1t is
asserted f. p. Dodd, ]. A. Fee, John
McCourt, T. G. Montgomery, Arnold
Sheuerman, C. W. Phelps, George
Peringer, John Doe and Richard
Roe claimed to be the stock
holders, directors and officers
of the company. 1t is asserted
by the plaintiff that the transfer of
,ho ,,ronart1, uaS roa3a without con.
sideration and was and is fraud up
on the plaintiff and was made for the
purpose of depriving the plaintiff Of
her interests in the company.
The complaint further asks that f
7, Dodd be required to make a COM
plete accounting of the business while
under his management in order that
the plaintiff may secure what is
rightfully due her as a stockholder iii
the company.
Mrs. Kerbaugh, plaintiff in the suit
that has been brought is the wife OF
L. X. Kerhaugh, former business
manager of the Tribune. At the time
of his departure from this city he had
failed to secure all, if any, of the $500
ne had invested in the corporation.
Since that time MANY efforts have
been made by Mrs. Kerbaugh to Sc
cure a settlement, and failing in them
the matter has been taken into court
Neither of the present owners of the
Tribune, Messrs. Geer and Mitchell
are directly involv, 4 in the suit that
has been brought.
