HOYNE BUR8TS ANOTHER BOMB
IN TAXDODGERjB' WAR
state's Attorney Mjaclay Hoyne
yesterday made'the assertion, that the
Board of Review had cut the taxation
of a large Chicago corporation $375,
000. Hoyne as a feature ol hs war on
taxdodgers held a conference with
the JBoard of Review and the Board
of-Jkssessors. He suddenly shocked
both these bodfls, by making the fol
lowing statement:
"There is a certain Illinois corpora
tion with an authorized capitalization
of $5,000,000 of which $4,4gO,OO0 Js
fully paiL The records, of the Board
of-vAssessors show tnaUthe corpora
tion was originally assessed at a val
uation of $500,000. Later, the books
show this assessment waaxeduced to
$50,000, and the records of iheBoardi
of Review show that it was still
further reduced by that body to $25,
000, on which amount taxes were
paid. That is not right We do not
need new laws as much, as the en
forcement of the present laws,"
Roy O. West, member of the Board
of Review, made the excuse that
owing to the present kws the board
had to take a man's word, for It as, to
th"e valuation of his property.
poyne knopked that argument by
urging West t? let the state'? attor
ney's office dear wjth those who
cheated on their taxes.
1 "I 'find from the office of the coun
ty attorney that the little fellows are
paying their taxes,"" stated Hoyne. "I
ad that some who have been classed-as-
dodgers, have simply been unable
te pay them, and as an indication of
good faith some are paying their
tteeg In installments.
r mi too much time te,fwt goto;
after the Httte fellows Just ss much
time is required tfr investigate the
man whose taxes are $5 as the man
who should be paying $5,000".
"Where we have been receiving
$40,000J000 in taxes we should bejte
ceiving $80,000,00,0, and Irive public
warning that I will prosecute. This
isnot a political move, but one for
the public benefit.
"I wish, to co-operate with yoiL
gentlemen. If you will accent, the
aid I can give yoti I will at nee as
sign assistants from my office-and in
vestigators. v
' "Disisjsrd of the Jaw hasbee& sq,
general and so long continued that IE
we were to prosecute every person 1a
offteial and private life that. is. spec,
fq prosecution, andsHforce the statu
tory penalties, we would" "have to
build new ails."
