Tax Amid Corporate Wealth Sparked City Finances Debate
A Chicago editor argues for taxing wealthy owners like Swift & Company and Armour to fund schools parks police and fire services. He cites Swift & Company assets over 100 million and low assessed values, claiming a potential annual tax of 1.4 million could erase a 700 thousand deficit and fund public needs. He names J Ogden Armour and Louis Swift among others and urges Board of Review inquiry into stock ownership and tax status.
