BIC RISE SHOWN
IN ARMCO TAXES
1887 Total of $3,441,6O9
Nearly TrebIes Amount
Two Years AGO.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

MIDDLETON, Ohio. March a.
The annual report Of the American
Rolling Mill Co. for 1887 will show
that the consolidated tax bill for
the parent company and subsidiaries
has nearly trehled in the past two
years. Calvin Verify. executive vice
president, disclosed today.
The total outlay for taxes for the
year 1887 reached an all-time record
high of S3,44l 500, AS compared with
s2.5l4629 for 1896, and sl.275.42l
for 1885, he said. Nineteen thirty
seven taxes represent an increase Of
36.9 per cent over 1886, and 1898
per cent over 1895.
Reviewing the 1O-year period end
ing with 1897, Mr. Verify pointed out
that the company had paid out in
taxes sum equal to more than half
the company's consolidated net earn
ings during that time. He explained
that while there were operating losses
totalng $4,000, 900 in 1881. 1892 and
1888. the company nevertheless had
to pay total of s2,5400O0 in taxes
for those years.
BY another comparison Mr. Verify
illustrated that the tax bill in 1887
was Sl94.42 for every employe. while
1t amounted to $l5963 per employe
in 1886 and s89.54 per employe in
1895. Taxes paid in 1887 were suffi-
cient to meet the total pay roll for
the average number of employees for
IL months.
