The Chicago Eagle argues that tax avoidance by owners of foreign stocks held in Chicago costs the city millions annually. It cites Swift & Company and Armour interests as examples and urges the Board of Assessors and Board of Review to back-tax five years of unpaid foreign stock while calling on notable Chicago figures to disclose holdings to fund firemen raises, teacher salaries, and public works.
