 Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 No doubt when you receive this letter all the political addresses and newspaper articles relative to the national and state elections will have been delivered and written. The general public will know that the political parties in their entirety are positively against Kidnapping, but unfortunately, did not read where anyone of the political writers mem toned anything about the elimina- tion of the corn borer, the boil weavil, or the downward trend of the efficiency of the potato bug. Of course you will think that the pre- ceding sentences are not important or pertinent to the future welfare of the people of the land of the free and the home of the brave, but they are as sensible as some of the loud guffaws that emanated from the vocal chords of the Fox" from Kan sas, MT. Landon, who has attempted to convince the electorate of the country that if he was elected (which is not in the books) he would dispense with government relief, balance the budget, and that indus try would absorb all of the unem- ployed making everything hunky- dory once more.
 As I attempt to type out this mis- Sile have potent mental picture of the dark days of 1882 manifesting the mile-long bread lines that des- pairingly graced the streets of every city, town, village and hamlet and if every voter in this country would have this vignette in their mind when they go into the polls on next Tuesday MT. Landon would not be the recipient of one vote unless he would be very stubborn himself. There are great number of the citizens of Waterbury who have a very fond remembrance of 1ugging one of those smoked shoulders home by way of the transportation me- dium of 8 miniature wagon or a dilapidated baby coach. These smoked shoulders I have heard termed footballs" which they so reverently called them, were given themi in place of 8 chicken in every pot" that the renowned Rugged Individual" promised them.
 It would be terribly unfortunate if the voters should forget the bank failures" the collapse of the stock market" and so many other discouraging events that occurred during the reign of the defunct g. O. p. and be mislead by the prop aganda so sinisterly placed before them by those people who do not dare to mention the morbid days

More than half of the states now have moved back the date of registering au- tomobiles from the first of the year to April or even later. In Connecticut this was, we think, one of the finest advances made by our motor vehicle department. AS the years go by it will tend more and more to sell year-round registrations to motorists who won't mind the extra dol lars at this time of the year than they would at the first of the year.

Washington.-J. NJ. Lands, chair
man Of the securities commission,
conferred with a house mining bloc
on western proposals for simplifi-

Rep. James C. Scrugham Of Neva-

Scrugham declined to discuss Ian
dis reaction to the committees
suggestions. Attending the meeting
besides Lands and Scrugham were
two assistants of the commissioner
and Representative White Of Idaho,
Robinson OF Utah and Murdoch Of
Utah.
"Our primary objective in sug-
costing simplification of the COM

Scrugham said, is to decrease
unemployment in the western min

proposals are adopted this can be
accomplished, for activity could not
help but be stimulated"

High commentator for the state

two miners who visited Great Falls
this week, from Camas creek, above
White Sulphur Springs. They are
Glen X. Roscoe and George Crosby
who came to town after having been
showed in for "a days in their
mining camp. They found the road
over Kings Hill cleared of snow;
the first time that this road has
ever been kept open throughout the
winter. The feat was made pos
sible, Crosby says, by highway
commission employe who forgot
working hours when there was
snow to be moved. Frank zell, plac-
er operator on Atlanta gulch, near
White Sulphur Springs, was also a
visitor in Great Falls this week,
in company with Jack Weiner. They
went out by way of Livingston,
thence to Bozeman and Helena. re-
turning over Kings Hill via Great

ASSAY OFFICE
FORHEL MATS
NOW ASSURED

According to advices from Wash
inpton. d. c., the Helena Assay
office soon will be reopened," states
Carl-J. Trauerman, Butte, president
Of the Mining Association of Mon
tana. which has been urging that
step.
On February II, Senator Burton
K. wheeler introduced an amend
ment to the Treasury and Post
office Appropriation bill, calling
for an APPROPRIATION Of $4,000 to
reopen the Helena Assay office so
that Montana gold producers could
shin their bullion to Helena and
receive quick returns thereon,
rather than ship their product to
Denver or San Francisco, necessi-
tating a long wait before being
paid for same and financially cramp-
ing the smaller operators.
Elaborate figures showing that
the office in Helena was necessary
we're compiled by Frederick c.
Gilbert, secretary of the Mining
Association of Montana, these fig
ures being sent to Senator Wheeler.
Previous bills to re-establish the
office in Helena, introduced by
Senator Wheeler and urged by Sena-
tor James E. Murray. were "killed"
in the Senate by militant Senator
from Virginia. However, all SEN
ate objection seem to have been
auashed. as Senator Wheeler wired
Mr.. Trauerman this morning as
follows:-
pleased to advise Senate passed
amendment for Helena Assay Office.
Bill goes to conference"
It is believed the bill will meet
with approval in the senate-house
conference will be finally passed by
the house and become effective.
