OBJECTS AND FUNCTIONS
or the Southwestern Telegraph and

There can be no possible argu-
meut as to the object for which a
telephone company exists, and the
end toward which it must aim in or
der to attain success.
1t is the business of telephone
company to sell telephone service
good service at reasonable cost.
The telephone company both from
motives of self interest and because
of the duty it owes its patrons must
treat the public with courtesy and
! consideration and this line of con-
duct is earnestly enioined upon its
employees giving prompt
and accurate service.
The millions of dollars invested by
| The Southwestern Company through
out the territory in which it operates
in real estate and plant and the large
amount paid its employees in salar-
les and wages every month are all

! Company is a permanent institution
and has identified itself with the
state and its rapidly growing COM
! mercial interests in such manner

/ the people of it's sincerity of pur-
/ pose in striving to give them what
/ they are paying for and to aid in adj
vancing the material prosperity OF
! the towns in which it operates
/ As the system has grown, the cost
of giving telephone service has in
creased The average profit per sta

maintaining and renewing the plant
has advanced very considerably.
! The value of the service to the
subscriber has become greater as

As in the past, SO it will he the
aim of The Southwestern company
in the future to give its patrons a
generous equivalent in good service,

Monday as a board of equalization
and judging from early indications
there is going to be a big reduction
in the average taxable valuation of

the sentiment seemed to prevail that
cut in the average would be made
County Judge Spencer devoted
most of the afternoon TO long dis
lance conversations with judges in
other counties relative to the action
of the equalization boards Of those
counties in fixing land values for
this year. The increase in Ellis coun-
~ last year was the greatest in the
ne value placed on land in the other
leading agricultural counties. and
unless those counties make still
further increase this year reduction
will be made by the Ellis county
board The average taxable value Of
land in Ellis county last year was
S330S. an increase from s12.10 for
the year 1907. The increase in Col
lin county was only s5.31 while the
increase in Dallas county was from
$1277 to $685.
