SOME TAX ANGLES

believe in the Illinois law that capital
stock shall be taxed. Because the
law is there l make the assessment"
he says. Several different ways of
making assessments came out yes
terday. Koralesk assesses one,
fourth of capital stock; David M.
Pfaelzer, another member of the
board, assess one-fifth; clerks in the
Office subtract the full real estate and
tangible property valuations from the
full capital stock value and assess at
one-fourth.
No separate account of taxes paid
on capital stock has been kept by the
county treasurer or clerk. To get at

how much slipped by since 1911, it
will be necessary to overhaul all
books and tax bills.
Pfaelzer said: 81 believe the state
ment that $5OO,OOO,0 900 escapes taxa
ton on capital stock value. 1 have
never made any effort to assess such
stock at full value"
All the officials concerned say that
the Supreme Court decisions call for
full value assessment. The habit of
assessing at less than full value or
not at all, loses Cook county $780,
166 year and hits the small tax
payer right where he lives.
Among the taxdodgers named at
the board of assessors meeting yes
terday were David R. Forgan, banker,
James Hamilton Lewis, United States
senator; James A. Pugh, Augustus
Peabody, Mrs. John R. Winter

Boston has an automobile show, a tex

not, in justice to his readers, and to him
