The piece argues that Swift and Armour holdings face high assessed personal property taxes while foreign stock owned by these Chicago based firms escapes taxation. It cites large estates such as Marshall Field and O W Potter and lists multiple outside corporations tied to Armour and Swift. The author urges the Equal Taxation League to pursue missing back taxes and accuses officials of tolerating tax dodging to aid big packers.
