Boston Mayor Decries Double Tax Proposal on Foreign Firms
N Matthews Jr argues against a bill taxing foreign corporations, saying it would push firms away, reduce banking and wage opportunities, and harm Boston’s growth. He cites a city commission example showing how tax revenue pales beside economic activity and warns the policy would hurt trade, industry, and competitiveness.
Memorial from Boston Mayor against foreign corporation tax bill
The Boston Board of Aldermen passes resolutions opposing a House bill on foreign corporation reporting. Mayor Matthews transmits the memorial April 30 1891, arguing the measure creates double taxation on intangible property, harms Boston commerce, and would not reliably collect taxes as stock ownership transfers skip official records. He urges reform toward avoiding double taxation and cautions the bill benefits no one in practice.
