Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1910-11-03
Two Biggest Payments.

The two biggest concerns in the
country, the Standard Oil company and
the United States Steel corporation,
have paid into the government more
than $2,000,000, or about one thirteenth
of the entire tax.
This, the fnanciers say is preposter-
Gus, inasmuch as many of the big COM
panies have admitted total earning
of z per cent or better on their capital
ization in their reports to their stock
holders.
The prediction made in financial
circles is that as the result of the APP
parent evasion of the tax law, the law
will be strengthened by congress in
the near future so that the treasury de-
partment may readily detect those who
fail to meet the requirements.
