An ethical Optometrist does not
feature the price of his service?
No, he is not able to do SO
even if he had the desire, which
he has not.
Then the Optometrist's service
has no definite, fixed value before
the nature of the serv1 zee required
is determined by an examination!
No, until the examination is com
pleted no idea of the nature OF the
service required can be known even
to the Optometrist, for that reason
he cannot quote prices In advance

of equalization, the matter of the
ratio for Benton county on the
railroad properties in the county,
and we have succeeded each year
in obtaining a raise in our ratio.
The first year we got raise OF
one per cent, the second year, two
per cent and the third year, two
ner cent. total of five per cent.
In dollars and cents this means
$4,000 to the taxpayers OF Ben
ton county. In other words, every
one per cent raised In our ratio
means that railroad companies and
the difference in state taxes which
we have to pay is a saving OF
$4,000 to the taxpayers OF Ben
ton county. therefore. a five per
cent raise has been a total OF
$4,000. / am preparing our case
to be presented to the state board
of equalization, September 18th, at
which time we are going to ask
for the largest raise ever granted
and we are going to ask for a
raise to so per cent. which is the
maximum. If we are successful in
this, it will mean that we will be
the first county in the history OF
the state to have our railroad ra-
ito placed at so per cent. and 1t
will mean a net saving of $6O,OOO
for this one year in taxes to the
taxpayers of the county. Whether
I will be successful or not, / cam
not say now, but the fact remains
that | have been successful on
each previous occasion and have
received creditable raise in ratio
each year.
To illustrate my effort to be of
service to the county. / will point
out the matter of the court house
bonds. 1t has been customary
where a city bonds itself, such
as done by the city of Prosser or
where a county bonds itself. such
as we did for our court house, that
the prosecuting attorney recon-
mend some firm of nationally
known attorneys to handle the nee
essary legal matters involved in
the issue of the bonds. when this
is done, the bond houses will ac-
cept the opinion of these attorneys
without additional expense and
will bid on the bonds. Ordinarily
they will not accept or bid on
the bonds without the opinion of
some nationally known bond at
torneys, however, in our court
house bonds. 1 recommended 10
the board of county commission
ers that they refuse to expend the
sum of $3.50 necessary for the
employment of bond attorneys,
and that l would do the work my
self and would endeavor to make
it air tight, so that the bonds
could be sold. / was successful in
handling this matter entirely my
self and without the necessity of
any bond attorneys opinion. We
sold our bonds at the highest
price for which bonds of this kind
were ever sold. The bonds bearing
only Az per cent interest were
sold at par, through the efforts
of our office.
