A call to tax Chicago's rich corporate owners prompts cries for fair taxation and new public works. Swift & Company and Armour holdings are cited as examples of underassessed wealth, with a 7000000 deficit noted and proposals for larger taxes to fund schools, lights, and police. The piece lists extensive holdings of Armour and Swift interests and urges the Board of Review to probe stock ownership in Chicago.
