GEORGE PLAN EXPLOITED
ee!.FF0REE CHURCH CLUB
Single Takers Deliver Addresses
In Annual Meeting of Uni
tartan Organization

The Unitarian CLUB, mems auxil-
larry of the First Unitarian church. OF
which the Rev. Eugene Rodman Ship
pen is pastor, held its annual meet
ing, Tuesday evening, in the parlors
OF the church.
The following officers were elected:
President. DR.. Geo. c. Bowles; vice
president, Or. A. w. Ives; secretary,
Gordon Hall: treasurer, Ralph
Gaines; directors, 4, A. Walton, q.
II. Jarvis and Homer f. Stafford.
The membership of the Unitarian
club Is not confined to Unitarians, but
embraces members OF other churches
and those who are not members or
any church II Is organized for the
purpose OF discussing public ana
economic questions, and Tuesday
evening the theme under considera-
ton was the even-timely matter OF
taxation, with City Assessor John Z.
NageI as the principal speaker.
The regular program was preceded
by a dinner participated In by CLUB
members and guests.
Mr.. Nagel gave a very entertaining
and instructive talk on taxation, and
among other things charged that the
great Detroit evil of inadequacy IN
the transportation line was due 10
the state tax commissions inequitaole
adjustment of railroad taxation, with
resultant excessive burdens on rail-
road property in this city. He said
IL was the duty of the state tax COM
mission to 90 into every county In the
state and have the railroads assessed
on a cash basis, and that IL the COM
mission would do this, the transporta-
ton problem for Detroit would be
solved.
The assessor made the startling
statement that according to the state
equalization board, Detroit has one
fifth OF the entire assessed valuation
I'm the state of Michigan. He opened
eyes. too. when he declared that De-
troit pays So per cent of the automo-
bile license tax of the entire state,
estimating that $4,000 goes annually
from this city into the state treasury.
Mr.. Nagel drew applause when he as
serted that this money should stay
in Detroit and be used TO take care
of the roads OF the city.
He indicated his leaning towards
the single tax idea when he gave II
nv the great burden Of taxation be-
cause land receives the bulk OF the
benefits from the taxing power. he
would tax. land on the basis OF two
per cent, buildings one per cent, per-
sonal physical property three-fourths
of one per cent and personal credits
one-half OF one per cent.
Mr. Nagle said that he had been a
single taxer and student OF Henry
George, but he contended that the
George theory was based on the prop
osition of a national system OF direct
taxation TO the exclusion OF all forms
of indirect taxation. He insisted that
the single tax plan would not work
out satisfactorily If adopted In a
municipality alone, independently or
the balance of the country.
f. F. Ingram was the next speaker,
and facetiously remarked that II any
one thought that he was going to
jump on to Mr.. Nagel and criticise his
position, they were mistaken. Not
as long as he Is an assessor" said Mr..

A Very Delicate Problem

Parson Henderson, an evangelist of color, was caught one bright morning holding the hands of one of the eve lambs of his congrega- tion, who was a popular young lady, and it created quite a stir among the colored population. So the parson was brought up for trial and was questioned by the officers of the church as to what he meant by his action, and this is what he had to say in answer to the ques- tioD propoupded to him:
 "My Bruddrrs, you have seen these great pictures,eI suppose. so you know dat de great shepherd am always pictured with a lamb of his flock in his arms"
 "Yes, sah, parson, dat am so," admitted Deacon Jones.
 "Den, Brudder Jones. what am wrong in de shepherd of dis flock holding lamb in his arms2"
 This was too much for Brudder Jones, so he proposed that the off cers of the church have call meet ing that afternoon. After the poi was discussed fully the following resolution was adopted:
 Resolved, Dat for the future peace and dignity of the congrega- tion dat de next time Parson Hen- derson feels called upon to take lamb of bis flock in his arms, dat he pi.k out ram lamb"

Spending Money

To keep money, set it down as an invariable rule that you will never try to get something for nothing. That is the commences, way hat g fool and his money are soon parted.
 To sum up:
 Do not over estimate money.
 Learn to appreciate money for it's real worth toward human hap piness.
 Do not buy anything until you have the money to pay for it.
 Never borrow.
 Never lend unless you can afford to lose the sum you lend. Never go on anyone's note. Be generoue, but not spend- thrift.
 Be careful, but not stingy. Never join company in having good time. going to an entertain ment or on an excurslon, without knowing first that you can afford it. And when you join it be sure to pay your share. Do not accept gifts. as rule, un- less you are able to return their equivalent. Be straight, scrupulously exact and honest in all money matters. Start bank account. In all money dealings insist on clear understanding before you enter into any agreement. By just being careful in these af- i fairs you will save yourself world of unhappiness.
