A Chicago Tribune summary notes United States Circuit Court Judge Drummond's ruling against taxing capital stock shares held by corporations in Illinois. The article defends the decision as correcting a harmful 1872 statute that taxed both tangible property and paper stock certificates, arguing the ruling will boost industry and attract capital while condemning demagogic legislative actions.
