Milk and tax headlines echo in a 1900s city column
A fragmented local column critiques Armour and Swift links with Chicago schemes. It cites Harriman’s influence, milk price fears, and calls for better public services, tax reform, probes into stock ownership, and safer food oversight amid a broad distrust of trusts and political figures.
Tax fairness urged to fund Chicago public services
The Chicago Eagle argues that Chicagoans who own foreign stock must be taxed to fund firemen salaries school teachers and municipal improvements. It cites Swift Armour and Libby stock held in Chicago and urges the Board of Review to collect five years of back taxes on 20 million dollars of omitted foreign stock to finance better streets lights and parks.
