Angry denunciation targets Armour and the beef industry for evading taxes with city subsidies, arguing police and fire protection fund their private operations at taxpayer expense. The author cites a Supreme Court decision on anti trust, stockyards condemnations, and calls Joliet the milk trust site.
A public-opinion piece argues Chicago should tax large corporations like Swift & Company and Armour more heavily to fund schools police and fire services. It cites Swift & Company assets and estimates of tax underpayments, urging the Board of Review to question owners such as Louis Swift and J Ogden Armour about stock holdings and tax liabilities.
The piece traces J Ogden Armour's bid to become Illinois Central director, noting staged stock transfers and board election plans. It cites tributes to his widening influence, ties to Barrearmour interests, and implications for railroad involvement, with a skeptical closing line about tax dodgers.
