Special Correspondence to The Putnam Patriot)

Hartford Conn. Jan. 26-The Democratic party in Connecticut is in most deplorable condition. It is dis credited in many places where II once held sway and distrusted in others where at one time its platform was the last word .n political soundness Its extreme weakness is reflected in it's position in the legislature. 1t is a com paratively short time since when 1t was within two votes of being in con trol of the House At this session there are but twenty-three Democrats in the House to 289 Republicans. Of the thirty-five members of the State Senate only two are Democrats. The numerical weakness of the democracy in the General Assembly is so striking as to be deplorable IL would be better if there were more Democrats in the House and Senate. The great Repnb- .lican majority may ignore the ad- vice of the Democrats and disregard their criticisms. The democracy is reduced Co nullity almost.
 Needs Greater Opposition
 T. Is not eriticisiug Che Republican party to say that for the sake of the state it would be better if 1t had a Democratic opposition that was strong enough to command attention. 4 well known Republican member of the gen eral assembly remarked the other day that l. was too bad there were not more Democrats in the House and Sen ate Co go on the committees, and he re- gretted the fact that the state would lose the benefit of their judgment and experience. An overwhelming major ity for one party or the other is not the best thing for the state. 1t Is apt to result in an indifference t0 eriti- eism and q disregard for opposing sen- timent. Legislation which is infiu- enced by that is neither safe nor sane There is no doubt that Speaker Darbie in the House and President Brainard in the Senate have made committee ap- pointments which command the conii- .denee of everyone But the iegisla- ture would have been improved by a larger sprlnkling of Democrats among the committeeman. The leaders of the Democratic party have lost the eonfi- denee Of the Democratic voters of the state. If the party is to have success in the future the present leaders must be retired and the party revrsanized with new men who will be unselfish and not self-seeking.

service. as one of the senators from Connectieut. makes it unlikely that there will be struggle owe. school af- fairs at this session of the general assembly. Governor Trumbull, his
 successor as chief executive has views on q school pnlicy which arc more in accord with those of nr. Meredith, the state commissioner of education, and l the board of education of which the doctor Is the secretary and guide. Sen
 ator Bingham stands squarely for the maintenance of the present district system for the state. and Co him the
 little red schooihouse is sacrosanct. To
 lay a devastating hand on its time
 worn shingles is nothing short Of sac
 rilege Co the senator. On the other
 hand, Dr. Meredith and the members
 of the state board of education would
 just as soon look on the little red
 school as an institution to be talerat-
 cd until something better is found.
 They do not wish for its diseontinu-
 ance, as they believe that their policy
 will make its continuance unnecessary. The plan k e have large central
 schools which will be an attraction to the countryside and an inspiration to the children attending school. Before the coming of the automobile the es-
 tablishment of q central school as a substitute for the little red building
 was an impossibility. There was n
 question of transportation to be solv-
 ed which was not soluable by the
 means of conveying children to school
 which were then in existence. The
 automobile has solved the question of | bringing children Co school from the
 most remote localities. There is tine question of community center for
 which the little red school was the gathering roint for other events than that of schooling. The reply is that | the center will be larger and more ac- ] eessible than the red schOolhouse. The ! political events of last month have made an unexpected change in the
 Little Red SchoOlhOuse" situation and
 G passing has become inevitable.

Concerning Bank,

There seems to be no doubt that the legislature will take steps to improve the system of examination of state banks. Governor Trumhull is in en- tire accord with tine opinion of Rank Commissioner John B. Byrnt that the banks Of the state should be examined every six months. that the examining staff should be increased and that the salaries should be fixed at a figure that will command the best talent in the state. IL is not right that Connecticut should be in q position where it cannot compete with private corporations in the employment of competent service. it is a very important matter that the SaS ings banks of the state should be efficiently examined. They have the confidence of the people of the state who earn wages and who have not the time nor the inclination to invest their earnings. The depositors have the me- chanical skill to bring prosperity to communities, bat not the ability to bring financial success to their indus trial endeavors. In the mutual sav- ings banks of the state there are af- forded means whereby they can save their earnings. These banks work un- der the authority of the state and it is the duty of the state to see that they are safe and sound and absolutely re- liable. While on this subject attention may be called to the fact that the state should now consider sympathetically the question of reducing or abolishing altogether the tax on the deposits in savings banks. This proposition has been before the general assembly a number of times but 1t has always en- eountered the opposition of the state treasury, and the tax remains. The state is now practically out of debt; that is to say the condition of the sinking fund is such that it Is amply able to meet the bonded indebtedness of the state. though that amounts to SIP ,O00 .000, by it's own earning capae- ity and without adding another dollar to the capital of the fund. IL is time now for the state tO give the savings banks. particularly those in small com munities. relief by abolishing the tax on deposits.

 FOR ALL TAX DODGERS
Threee Collectors to Institute Legal Proceedings Against
 All Delinquents
Criminal Prosecutions and Civil Suits
 By the Wholesale

old Mir. Trouble is sno0ping around and will soon make call on all tax dodgers who owe money to the city or town of Putnam. The call will be personified by a deputy sheriff or city policeman.
 City Tax Collector, Archibald Mac donald, Jr., Town Tax Collector, of realty taxes. Irving H. Miron. and Joseph Plessis, collector of town per sonal taxes. are through writing let ters and sending warnings and are now ready to use the courts as q means of enforcing town and city claims against all delinquents.
 In Hands of Prosecutor
 The first actual step to set the le- gal wheels in motion was taken by Collector Plessis the first of the week when he turned over to Prosecuting Attorney Eric II Johnson a list of thirty names of those who haYa failed to heed his warnings that pro seeutions would follow unless the per soual tax due the town was pai These deIinquents will he arrested and will appear before the city court This will bring the matter Co a close by either the payment of the tsX. . trip Co Che county jail for the debtor. or the finding of the supposed delia quent not guilty.
 Among thirty persons who have not paid personal tax t will be no sur prise if some have legal excuses. Possibly some were not residents of Putnam at the time the tax was as sessej; some may have been exempt ; or there may be some other valid excuse why they have not paid. How ever. court proceedings will deter mine ali of this and the books of the tax collector will be 100 per cent perfect. This is always the goal of q good collector.
 Will Proceed Civilly
 The city tax collector and the town tax collector of realty taxes are to proceed civilly. This they can do because the tax they are after Is assessed against real or personal es- tate owned by the debtor. Under the law a tax can be treated as any other debt and the debtor sued civilly on the debt This is done by first attach ing the debtors property and hear ing before Justice of the Peace, if the amount of the tax be small, or the superior court if the tax amounts to over Sl00.
 There is to be no escape from the payment of taxes in this city or town by anyone who owes either the city or town tax money. This the three tax collectors have determined upon.

SWEET POTATOES ARE
DELICIOUS IN PIE

Sweet potatoes are difficult to keep
on hand as they are almost as delicate
as fruit and spoil easily. Because of
this and the fact that they are not in
the market during the entire year. the
canned variety of sweet potatoes are
very useful to keep on hand. Also,
of course, the sweet poato that comes
from can is already pared and
cooked. Sweet potato pie is favorite
in the South.
