It is hard to diagnose the ng Lippy’s praises after having almost ssioner AGAINST Lippy. } lay might be influenced to be for Lippy. It to find with that. Higday might, for instance, be rewarded with a lucrative job. We don’t know. Perhaps that’s the reason. Perhaps not. If he’s the man for the job, why not? | But will some one please tell us why the polit who are managing Lippy’s campaign allow Higday to announce his flip-flop with brass band accom- paniment? | This editorial is not a political one. It is merely an attempt to study a bit of psychology. We should like to know why the politicians should think it’s a good thing to advertise the support of a man who had been ready to make a campaign inst their own candidate only a few days before. If Higday could think of running AGAINST Lippy, how do the politicians figure it is good campaigning for him now to say that Lippy was 100 per cent perfect? Is it not pos sible that the people would be a bit skeptical of Higday’s sincerity under such circumstances? Might they not think that Higday may know something against Lippy that has been carefully “hushed up” with some kind of political sop? Wouldn't it have been better—from Lippy’s standpoint—to have Higday mum? | Really, it is a baffling bit of business—this trying to} understand why politicians will do certain things. And there is Frederick I vertisiifg manager for f gday sir Seixas, who, besides unk Waterhouse has been} ars. s came out in a public letter for Lippy, which is all very well, for nobody who knows of Seixas would dream that he would be for anybody else. It is to his interest to have Lippy And naturally he is only too glad to support him But why, oh why, did he refer to himself, not as a repre-|!" sentative of private dock interests, but as “a citizen and a/‘* former soldier”? po Seixas, of course, knew, judging from the records pre-| wor being ad-} Judge Ric go of 65 he is again seek Se The position # unsalar ted, bi He & re as yeational work rved eight ye wi in M yoarn laried ponl tchigan.

What's the psychology of Mind you, we find no fault with Seixas’ war record. There were thousands upon thousands of good Americans who, for one sufficient reason or another, did not become real soldiers or sailors. Some were too old. Some were physically unfit. Some had dependents. “But isn’t it a bit bombastic for Seixas and others in his position to ADVERTISE themselves as “former soldiers” while attempting to belittle a bona fide ex-soldier? Isn't it likely that the public might think that Seixas is trying to capitalize his war record under weak, if not false, pre- tenses? Verily, we would think so. But evidently the politicians think differently. They have a psychology of their own. We confess it’s too deep for us. Pass Budget Bill In all probability the present congress will tranmet very little sal business in ite final seasion, beginning in December. Its divided political complexion, its congiderable content of “lame ducks” and ite certain ex pectation of automatic death next March 4 militate against effective work. But there is one law it should pass—promptly—without palaver or hesitation. ‘This is the budget bill Both parties are pledged by their platforms to budget reform. Prent dent Wilson has urged it. He regretfully vetoed the bill paaned last spring, becavae it provided that the comptroliergeneral in charge of accounting and anditing, might be removed only by congrea, This violated the constitutional provision under which all executive officials are appointed and removed by the president. The budget bill was corrected to remove thin defect, and again panned the houxe. It failed of passage in the senate because of an eleventh- hour filibuster, altho a clear senate majority favored it In substance the bill provides that estimates from all departments of the government shall be reviewed, revised and consolidated by the secretary of the treasury, operating thru a budget bureau closely and continuously styftying the neets of the various departmenta. ‘The budget thus prepared then goes to the president, who may reduce or change it to secure further economy or efficiency. He then mibmits it to congress, as a defnite program for government operations and raising of necessary reventes. Congress may increase the budget ff It wishes, but will be lew likely to make changes than at present. The bndget will have back of it the strength of careful study, preparation and revision. Anditing, under the comptrolier-ceneral, would be entirely tndependent of the treasury and all other departments, The dvine congress can have no excuse for fallure to pass this budget bill. Prompt action will save a year or two more of continued hap ‘ wasteful expenditures. It will also, in considerable measure, mitigate the drab record of the 66th congress. ing nominated for mayor of Seattle in 1914 Is he now too old?
