STOCK HELD IN STORAGE
GOES ON ASSESSMENT ROLL
Installment Houses Also Hard
Hit by New Ruling
of Board

Assessor John c. Nagel announced,
Tuesday morning, that hereafter
storage houses in Detroit will be as
sessed for all the stock held in stor-
age, no matter to whom it may be-
long. Furniture houses selling goods
on the installment plan will also be
assessed on the stock so sold, no
Hsatter In whose possession II may
be, for the title TO the property re-
mains in the company selling it un-
til the final payment is made.
These are radical departures from
previous assessment methods and the
news is sure TO bring an emphatic
protest from the storage people and
the furniture dealers affected. 1t will
mean a big increase in, their taxes
If the assessments stick.
Assessor Nagel says he is well
fortified in his position, and is pre-
pared TO answer any and all argu-
,nents that may be put up by the ag-
grieyed taxpayers.
Il looked into both propositions
said Mr.. Nagel, and j
know I'm right. If anyone cares to
dispute the question, let him come
right ahead"

psychologically favorable to the car

put presidential primary law on the
Michigan statute beeks and give thai
law Job this year. The striking
features In the conditions are the evi-
dences OF q popular sentiment in
favor Of giving the people the oppor-
tunity to have real and democratic
part In the naming OF president, and
also the strength of the governors q
message which anticipated the attacks
and criticism OF the opposition and
nailed them with spikes.
The psychological feature In con-

ira session event, was the delightful
opportuneness, from an administra-

ment from Roosevelt that he would
accept the presidential nomination II
it was handed to him. and his very
timely urging, from a Michigan ad-
ministration standpoint, OF the gen.
eral adoption of the presidential

appeals TO the imagination. We see
its meaning everywhere-in the won

that answers to the word power. The
spring Of all power is human life, aud

We are beginning TO conserve our re-

think that our entire public school

examples of both conditions on every

along the line of our physical life
similar power must be developed In
our spiritual life II we are to realize
the radiant actuality of the gifts God
