The Cptonetrists' Report.

rletrists are in good standing II the
State OF Maine at the present time AMI
FIVE we're added 20 the list according u
the annual report Of the Maine state

Presson OF Pennington. Albert NJ Went

Norway and j. B. Narcotic. NJ. D. CT
Lewiston. The report says in part:
During the past year the continued
success OF the oPtonletry Law has again
been q matter OF congratulation for the
public. whose oversight is cafe-guarded
BY lis restrictions and provisions. and
for the practic.ng optornetrist. whose
business has been maintained upon q
commercially high plane Of efficiency.
Reports from all sections Of the State
agree that the optometry Law is working
as well as It's sponsors predicted and il
is now generally conceded. even By thos=
who were formerly opposed to the meas
ure. that the statute is a beneficial one
The funds received by the board have
accrued so that there is now a sum
available for the investigation q alleged
infractions Of the law. Many alleged in
fractions are reported TO the board in
which the information is so vague that
investigation falls 10 detect the alleged
cutprit and the work expended on the
case is simply wasted. In other cases
where the information is more definite

porting the Illegal practice that it was
not possible TO locate and prosecute the
wrong-doer Prompt and efficient CO.
operation among the practicing optomer-
rists would assist the board in a more
strict enforcement OF the law.
The statute as it now stands should
be amended in the clause which contains
the authority and reasons for denying
registration. by striking out the word
'habituar and substituting therefor the
word 'confrmeG' SO that confirmed
drunkenness would appear as reason
for Withholding a certificate OF registra-
ton. This change is suggested upon le-
gal advice. and is desirable from a legal
standpoint

Causes Requiring Relief.

Not all the towns are keeping their
records so that the causes for requiring
relief can De even approximately deter
mined. The large number OF unciassifed
cases is due, partly to the general de-
scrip,ion given Of the case. in part to
the lack of information o5tainable from
many OF the cities and towns. and in part
to dependent members OF the family who
have been made the recipients OF the
benefits Of poor relief because OF the
death or sickness OF the bread winner OF
the. family. The number of aged was TO
be expected. The insane are very likely
only mildly demented, in many cases the
dementia being due TO old age. The
number of feeble minded. however, is
very suggestive. and furnishes a strong
argument for increasing the capacity Of
the institution for the feeble minded.
particularly SO when il is recalled that
this class OF persons requires poor relief

wholly from the state outside of
Portland. The fact that a very
strong fight is being made by the
Portland paper in Mr.. Settings be-
half. to the exclusion of all other
candidates. and especially against the
candidacy of Mr.. Eaton, has caused
considerable comment throughout
the state, and the impression is gam
ing ground that Portland, as usual
is trying to gain control of the Legis-
lature for purposes that are not made
public. The Times has naught put
the best of feelings toward Mr.. Sell
ing. but we cannot but help express
the opinion that his candidacy is Ill
advised. and should the Oregonian
persist in pressing it too strongly the
result will be detrimental to the best
interests of the state in the way OF
legislation to be enacted by the Leg
islature. Mr.. Eaton's qualifications
for Speaker cannot be assailed and
to this is coupled the fact that the
state. outside of Portland, is entitled
to the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

TAXATION AND EXPENDITURES.

Wall Street Journal: People who
complain about their taxes might find
a useful hint in the report recently
filed by the New Jersey board of
equalization. The average tax rate
had jumped from s1.97 of last year
to 1924 for the present year, an in
crease of 1873 per cent. The board
said:
1.-THE increase is due to the fact
that local expenditures have increas-
ed in a greater ratio than the
sources of local revenue
The appalling fact can be applied to
all the states. The census returns go
back to 1860. They show the aver
age per capita levy to be more than
three and one-half times what 1t
was at the earlier date. Or course,
the tax rate per 500 also increases.
Yet, Notwithstanding the enormous
increase in amount of the tax levies
and the increase in population and
wealth, the average per capita in
debtedness of the states, counties
and minor civil divisions has stead
lily increased.
What do the people get in return
for this increased taxation? When a
mans business expenses increase
faster than the returns, the bank
ruptcy court awaits him. But in the
public business there is no thought
of cutting expenses according to
means. The tax rate is to be adjust
ed to fit the expenses. This Is good
business to the politician; but to the
people who pay the bill the effect is,
as Shylock said: "You take my life
when you take the mean whereby ]
live"
Kings should shear their sheep, not
skin them. But so long as the PEG
pie permit their affairs to be conduc-
ted without any idea of economy OF
anything approaching a budget sys-
TEN, they are sure to be skinned. Is.
MT it time to demand a real reform

The above phrase spoken at least
once every hour in the day to your
neighbor, or your customer, or your
employee or anyone whom you might
come in contact with during the days
business will make every week In the
Northwest prosperity week. The I'M
ion Meat Company has issued a bull
letin adapted from the Chicago a
" Tribune which carries with it great
physiological weight. 1t is as fol
lows:
s.When the basic conditions arc
right-as they are today-business
needs only the right kind of thoughts
and the right kind of talk to make it
good.
Here is something to do today:
Every hour-on the hour-say
that business is good. Say it to the
man next to you on the street car.
Saw it to the man at the next desk.
Say it to your lunch partner-to your
boss-to your stenographer-to your
customer-to the mar who waits on
you.
Say it to yourself, if you are alone
but say it. Every hour-on the
hour-say that business is good.
1.-THE effect of that little phrase,
repeated eight times in one day by a
million men and women-or more
will be enough to overcome months
of pessimistic thoughts and pessi-
mistic talk.
For business will be good now,
today, next week, and right along, II
we merely say that it is good and
stick to it.
Constant REPETITION of the power
full little phrase will generate the un-
animous confidence which is what
business needs-all that business
needs. For your own sake, for the
sake of the man you work for and

sake of your family and your friends,

good.
Eight times today, every hour
on the hour-during the business
day, say that business is good. To
morrow and next week remember
that you have said it and remember
that you were justified in saying IL
because there is every reason why
business in the Northwest should be
not only good but better than ever
before.
I'VE are the market place for the

a better material basis than ever be
