Mayor Marx and his cabinet had
sIGnt two hours discussing the rec

That the budget will be somewhat
higher for l917-1s was indicated
when The mayor Addressed his
subordinates, telling them that the
increased cost in the operation OF
machinery and other items probably
would result in requests for larger
appropriations,
Under the new budget plan vxrf-
cus activities Of the different de-.

that the old system of listing seq
arate items will he done away with.
BY listing the activities the gov.
cInmental bureau experts declare
that nm accurate means OF compar-
ing expenditures will be establishe
IN two years.
Because so much time was taken
up In discussing the budget, the

EXTENSION SCHOOL FOR FARMERS.

Closely akin to these two III importanc"-thcre
are some among as who doubtless believe it to b.
Of greater Iutiucucr-i> the extension school for
farmers to be- conducted her all OF next week
by experts from the State College Of Washington
We ara all agreed. OF course that anything that
permanently stimulates and improves the agri-
cultural Development of olr COMMUNICATING
thereby principally the assisting of those now
on our tarmS-iS a great boon to the district as
a whoe-civc and rural
There are still "A few in our midst who make
the words agricultural Development mean the
sale of few scattered rural tracts to settlers new
to the particular district and perhaps even, to
the profession of farming, and apt more sad to
state, to have invested all they had and maybe
little more into the few acres they call theirs. 1t
may take few more years to convince those who
hold such an opinion that the days of the wild
eyed rural estate promotions past for a while,
at least and that we are down to eases again.
What this section of ours needs, as we all real
iZe. is not so much more farms and more farmers
as better farms of those we have and more salts
fed farmers living on them. And some of the
influences that will bring such condition about
are better knowledge of the farming business,
better farming methods, more adaptable crops,
better organization and better distribution. And
these take time.
One of the greatest influences that are today
aiding our farmers to improve the conditions I'M
der which they work and live is the extension
department of the Washington State College. 1t
does not thrust itself upon those who care not
for its assistance, but it most gladly and assid-
uously helps those who want to progress in their
life s work. One evidence of it's activities is the
extension school that is to be given here next
week, when in addition to listening to carefully
prepared lectures and to witnessing practical dem
onstrations by well-qualifed experts on various
Of the fundamental things permeating the farm
ing business, our farmers will be given every OPP
portunity to ask questions, to explain their par
ticular problems and request assistance, and to
consult with the various experts.
The course is therefore more than worth while
to every wideawake farmer and we have no doubt
that it will attract large attendance.

THE CITY ELECTION.

Next in Importance, to our mind, Is the city
election to be held next Tuesday, and this likewise
gains in Importance this year for we will be
choosing our mayor, attorney, clerk treasurer and
councilman "a large for two-year terms and our
ward councilmen for four years. instead of the
one year terms that used to prevail
1t is mighty important thing, not to be done
hastily or with any idea other than realization of
the care that should be exercised this business OF
choosing the officials who will manage our local
affairs for the next two and four years. It is
something which merit alone should govern in
each case This is family affair Of our own, to
be settled as we honestly think best, after elimi-
mating all foreign and extraneous issues.
The campaign to date has been quiet one and
for this the opposing candidates entitled to
everybody's congratulations. Political turmoil
and strife are more apt to be of injury than of
benefit and really have place in municipal
affairs As matter of fact, nearly every voter in
the city, well acquainted with the events of the
past four years and of the administrations pre-
ceding, is we'll qualified to give his or her deci-
sion next Tuesday, without the customary agita
ton, personalities and mud-sngng. The city OF
Olympia will be the better for its absence from
this campaign, regardless of who is elected.

THE REASON FOR 1T ALL.

Samuel g. Blythe the best known and probably
the most capable political writer of the country,
AYERS and maintains that nobody can really
explain the 'why" of the recent presidential cleo
ton, no matter how hard they try, other than that
the people preferred Mr.. Wilson to Mr.. Hughes.
Thousands of words have been written and spoken
in review of that event, the opinions of many
prominent individuals have been expressed, but
Blythe contends that no one of them really knows.
One mans opinion, he opines, is good as
another, and only the historian of the future,
aided by the perspective of the intervening years,
can rightly anayze the influences which led up
to the result, Blythe believes.
In all of which doubtless the greater argument
is on his side. So many things did enter into the
actual election, so many influences were at work,
30 tradition-upsetting was the verdict of the diff
ferent states, that myriad of explanations could
be offered. For our part, we like to believe that
it was the triumph Of human rights over the old
vested rights of property, the victory of the ndi
vidual over the dollar.
