Just now there IL u deficit in the
city's finances, according to the Comp.
trOller. OF about $7OO.OOO.
The big corporation known as Swift
4 Company makes an official statement
that 1t has over $lOO.OOOOOO In re-.
sources.
Tho just annual tax OH this sum
would be $1.4OO.OOO.
This would wipe out the city's deficit
twice over.
The Assessors only value Swift &
Company nt S3,OOO.OOO. the tax on
which il only $4,000.
This shows Il yearly loss to the city
Of $l.:I5S,O 600 on this one concern alone.
Does the City Council pay any at
tention to it!
oh, no!
Then there is J. Ogden Armour.
This man Is commonly believed to bc
worth a long ways over $lUO.OOO,0OO

There are some other concerns that
Armour owns stock in, but we pass
them up for the present
Figuring that he Is worth only
$1OOOOO,OOO, the tax on $lOO,OOO,OOO
would be Sl,4OO,OOO annually.

Swift & Company. the great corpora
tion which the assessors only valued
last year ut S3.OOO.OOO. reports that it
has over $lOO.OOO,OOO In quick assets on
hand this year. Read its annual re.
port and draw your own conclusions.
Tho tax rate is seven per cent on
onc-lifth of the actual cash value.
This would make Swift l. Company
legally liable tn tax Of Sl,4O0,OOO a
year. This would help out the other
taxpayers some, II 1t was paid.
But the kind assessors only value
Swift Il Company's Sl0O,OOO,O0O plant
ut S3,0O0,0O0, which makes their an
nnal tax only $4,000.
Quite a loss to the city in the diff
ference between $4,000 and 81 100000
The funny part of it is that in
eliminating the rich fellows the asses
sors could only lind S0G,OOO,OOO worth
of personal property in all Chicago last
year. -Four millions less than the re-
sources of Swift & Company.

So,s03,995 compared with the previous

about 81 100000 for depreciation, which

before the social and economic section
OF the American Association for the
Advancement of Science In Cobb Hall,
University of Chicago, Dec. 81, 1907.
'rhe leaders Of the great enterprises

preciate the smOlderlng fury OF discOn-

CrOwell continued. I'VE are educating

"This discomfort OF the masses Is not
confined to any one section. 1t is not
typical Of New York, Chicago or San

ances which eliminated In the French
revolution were Partisan. That was u
tempest In teapot compared with the
far-reaching, deep-rooted discomfort In
this country that has sprung from the
encroachment of the speculative spirit
upon Industrial and commercial fields.
"rhe hoggishness of corporate greed
has done more than anything else to
bring conditions to the danger point In
American society. 1t is time to take

rate on personal property has been
raised over ~ on every hundred dol.

Of course this does not apply to tho
multI.millionairc tax dodgers who have
70 much influence with the assessors.
They escape lightly, ana the burden
falls on the poor.

Dr. Henry u. Favlll ana DR.. Frank
Billings, on behalf of the Chicago Tu-
berculosis Institute, are asking for
help for this deserving institution. In
their letter they say: You are cor

1000 persons In Chicago. The annua!

clates Imagine that they can stop tu'
berculosis or lis ravages with Health
Commissioner in office who has with
drawn the city inspectors from the

the government last July for spending
so much money in looking nftcr the

How long will the United States Su-
preme Court permit the Beef Trust to
violate its permanent injunction
against It? When will the United
States Supreme Court assert its dig.
nifty and send the impudent ana def
ant Beef Trust magnates to Jail?
Chicago eagle., 1908-01-25

The Beef Trust is doing business at
the old stand and is fixing and main.
tanning a uniform price for meat in de.
iiance of the injunction OF the United
States Supreme Court. When will the
Trust magnates be sent to Jail for this
contempt of the highest tribunal In the
land?
Chicago eagle., 1908-01-25

Chicago Is asleep just now. But
there are great many honest and
fearless men here. When they wake
up the Beef Trust and its beneliclarles
will get what is coming to them.
