This would build a great many
schools and give great assistance to the
police and fire departments.
And think what 1t would amount to,
II, under the Supreme Court decisions,
the back taxes not paid are collected
from Mr.. Armour for Ave years.
Swift 4 Company, the great corpora.
tlOn which the assessors only valued
last year Mt $3,OOO,OOO, reports that 1t
has over $lOO,OOO.OOO In quick assets on
hand this year. Read Its annual re-
port and draw your own conclusions.
The tax rate Is seven per cent on
one-fifth OF the actual cash value.
This would make Swift 4 Company
legally liable to tax Of $1,4OO,OOO a
year. This would help out the other
taxpayers some, II 1t was paid.
But the kind assessors only value
Swift & Company's $lO0,OOO,OOO plant
at $3,OOOOOO, which makes their an
nual tax only $4,000.
Quite loss to the city In the diff
ference between $4,000 and 81, 100000.
The funny part of 1t Is that In
eliminating the rich fellows the asses
sors could only find $06,OOO,OOO worth
of personal property in all Chicago last
year. Four millions less than the re.
sources of Swift 4 Company.
The annual meeting Of the stOckhOld-
ers of Swift & Company was held at
the offices Of the company at the Union
Stock Yards January 2, 1908.
Treasurer l.. A. Cartons report states
that the turnover or gross business
Of the company aggregated S250,OO0,-
600 during the year.
The financial report shows surplus
at the close Of the year amounting to
Sl5,20O,000, which Is I'M increase of
S2,SO3,095 compared with the previous
year These figures, after allowing
about Sl,G0O,OOO for depreciation, which
was the amount written Off, indicate
earnings of substantially 1850 per cent
on S5O,000, 900 capital stock, out of
which the company paid per cent In
value of each share Of stock Is figured
dividends during the year.
There was an increase OF $G,065,9 ,9O5
with the preceding year, and the book
in the value of quick assets compared

In whose name does Mr.. Armour
hold all his stock? Speaking OF his
election as director of the Illinois Cen
tral. the Chicago Tribune Of March Z.
1908, said:
~. Ogden Armour was nominated to
succeed Mr.. Titus, assistant to Presi-
dent Harahan, who'was elected at the
stockholders meeting last week to sue
ceed Stuyvesant Fish and to hold until
Mr.. Armour could transfer to his own
name on the books of the company II.
llnOis Central stock held by him, and
so become stOckhOlder of record with
n clear title to the office Of director,
Mr.. Armour will be elected Mt the reg
ular meeting of the board on March
1G."
.Apropos of this election, the Chicago
Tribune on February 20 paid the fol-
lowing well-deserved tribute to Mr.. Ar
mOur, his widening influence" and the
"almost fabulous value" Of his great
industry:
1T Is a recognition on the part of
Mr.. Hartman of the widening influence
which Mr.. Armour has In the CONNER
cial and Industrial life of the country.
1t will not be an entire departure for
Mr.. Armour to take an active interest
In the management of great railroad
property, for he has long been flnan-
clally interested In the st. Paul road.
The Armour packing interests have
been associated with railroad affairs.
"As president Of Armour & Co. he has
doubled the value Of the property, a
fact which may appear startling to
those knowing the great values repre-
sented in 1t when his father, p. ID. Ar
mour, was at Its head. At the present
time he controls not only this great In.
dustry Of almost fabulous value, but Is
widening his interests constantly, enter
ing new fields and becoming a factor
In them. His connection. with the I'LL.
nois Central railroad will be only an.
other step In this direction"

Just now there Is a deficit In the
city's finances, according to the Comp
trOller, Of about 100000.
The big corporation known as Swift
& Company makes an official statement
that 1t has over $1OO,OOOOOO In re.
sources.
The just annual tax on this sum
would be $1,4OO.OOO.
This would wipe out the clty's deficit
twice over.
The Assessors only value Swift &
Company at $3,OOOOOO. the tax on
which Is only $4,000.
This shows a yearly loss to the city
Of 81, ,35S.OOO on this one concern alone
Then there is ]. Ogden Armour.

would be $1,4OO,OOO annually.

mour's personal property at 100000.
The annual tax on 100000 Is only
