Tax the foreign stock owned by Chicago firms now
The Chicago Eagle urges taxing outside corporate stock owned in Chicago to fund public services. It cites examples like Swift & Co and Armour and argues five years back taxes on foreign holdings could raise funds for firemen salaries, teachers pay, and better streets. It lists numerous New Jersey, Maine, Missouri and other stock owners and urges Board of Review action to recover back taxes.
