Charles X. Cranes complaint that
he has been taxed out of Chicago"
causes some comment.
"Mr Crane is only marked exam.
pie of what has been going on for
some time in Chicago" said John p.
Wilson. Our revenue law IL enforced
compels owners of credits and stocks
of corporations organized under the
laws Of other states to pay double
taxes-notably New York. The inev.
liable result Is owners of bonds and
foreign stocks are compelled either to
change their investments or their
place of residence. Many of them can.
not change their investments and
therefore are leaving Chicago.
ITO compel our citizens to change
and limit their investments Is of no
benefit or advantage to the city. To
compel our citizens to leave the city
to avoid taxation is a positive and
growing injury to Chicago.
"Mr. Cranes case is a good illus.
tration Of the inequity of our tax sys.

property of the Crane company was
represented by stock only, and being
an Illinois corporation is was not

part by bonds and in part by
stock, and under our law the
corporation has to pay taxes in full
upon the entire value Of its property
the same as before, while Mr.. Crane
would be required, under our law, to
