 Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 From time to time screaming headlines have appeared in the newspapers of the country claim ing that Huey Long's ideas on tax ing wealth were fantastic, absurd, preposterous, impossible, ridicu- lous, etc., etc. Columns of editorial space have been devoted to lam- basting Huey, calling him every thing from half wit to . dnngcr- ous demagogue. Almost without exception the editorial writers and editors of the country have gone out of their way to portray Huey Long as the prize fool of these United States.
 Ever since the moment Huey Long introduced . bill in the Sem ate to tax the weasth of this nation the vested interests, through their paid propagandists and controlled publicity channels, have attempt cd to convey to the public that Huey was more or less Q lunatic at large. And Huey being much smarter than they gave him credit for capitalized on their propagan. da by purposefui clowning methods which drew more and more atten- ton to himself and his ideas.
 Now the vested interests are non plussed at the latest move of President Roosevelt who laid at the door of Congress Q special tax measure to soak the rich--high, wide and handsome. The vested in- terests are so out of breath they haven't had time to think up names to call Roosevelt. It will be inter- esting to learn along what lines they will attack the president. Me thinks they will not dare to call him halfwit or any other such names as they applied to Huey Long. Perhaps, they will shout about the dear old Constitution which they interpret to mean that every man has the right to steal as much as he can so long as he can keep out of jail.
 It will be tough on the Big Boys but, after all, the government can not continue to swing the burden Va &S O& HWY 4nCAAlRAVyE0 &kAAAA0H1 plus their dependents without in- creased taxes. The Big Boys don't want imitation, don't want, silver, don't want Central Bank, don't want labor union, don't want the soldiers bonus, don't want gov ernment alphabets. In fact they don't want anything short of a revolution. If they insist on fight ing against every move 10 better conditions that is just what will happen-~a revolution.
 Blind die-hards will tax the pa- tlence of the American people bee yond endurance. As one of the great statesmen of England recent ly said: The American people are courageous, patient and calm, but fear the wealthy class will Eo too far and when America becomes aroused there will hs real trouble.

LAWS NEED REVISION -, roo NUMEROUS AND ANTIGUA.
 TED, THINKS AMMAN.
Waterbury, Conn. June 20, 1885.

June SV, lvSb.
 Editor, the Democrat;
 The much contested legal battle to determine the exact status of Who's Who in the Registrars office, brings to light the fact that law Is far from being an exact science. Beginning at about the time Of Blackstone, laws have been piling up one atop of the other until con- fusion reigns supreme. It has been suggested several times that every so often, say 20 year periods, all laws should be revised to accom- modate the conditions of the times. The intention being to not only condense the laws but to rid the books of a lot of antiquated stuff that at present only complicates the problems of modern day life.
 Most legislative bodies in the country to-day from Congress down to the local governments have a large representation of lawyers. These political lawyers frame most Of the bills and new laws that arc introduced. New laws are being manufactured al- most as rapidly as are the popular songs. If the 20 year cycle of re- vision were operating the tendency to enact new laws in opposition or in confiiction with laws already in vogue would be considerably les sened, because legislative lawyers would have q better retention of existing law and principles of law than is now possible.
 . In the present case of the office of registrar the Strong Mayor Charter which was passed by the state Legislature in 1888 empower ing the mayor to "hll any vacancy In any elective office for an unex- pired term, excepting that of may or'' in order to avoid all possible confusion, should also have speci- fled except the office of registrar of voters as provided by the stat utes--sectlon 6Gl."
 Being a more iaymen realize that my opinion may be faulty, nevertheless, think, the numerous laws coupled with the fact that many of them are outmoded but were never removed from or re- vised on the law books, tends to utterly confuse not only the iay- man but the lawyers themselves: as witnaas the division of opinion among lawyers in this case of the office Of registrar.

In the 1885 fiscal year over three bill lion dollars will have poured into the na- tional treasury at Washington, it is esti- mated. All of which is pretty good indication of the retort supreme to the old song - that's where my money goes. And Uncle Sam's nuisance taxes, some 23 of them, account for the greatest part of this tremendous tax bill. They amount up to well over one-third of the income ot the federal government So you can see just how much chance there is of getting rid of these taxes when they would leave terribly big void to be filled in. And yet when established in 1882 they were merely a temporary set-up to bridge the depres- sion. Now they're becoming more or less permanent as Congress, very willingly, keeps continuing them in force as their day of expiration hears. They have just within the week been continued once more.

Mingled emotions will probably greet the announcement that Senator Huey Long will be in our midst this summer. Yes, the Louisiana Kingfsh has chosen New England for one of his characteristic transforming trips during which he will preach the gospel of share-the-wealth, as he believes it should be done. His first stop in. the trip which will be made aboard those famous sound trucks of his will be at Stamford. He'll continue north and should draw a good tourist crowd as he treks from city to town and town to city. He won't lack for listeners, we'll wager that.
