The controversy over the bonus
and tax proposals now before
Congress has reached a critical
stage. Many members of Con-
gress who usually trim their
political sails in the direction of
the prevailing wind, are admit
teddy in a quandary. Some have
given pledges to vote for bonus
legislation and tax reduction at
the same time. 1t now appears,
however, that they must make a
decision. This vacillating policy
has a demoralizing effect on es-
sential legislation Senator Reed,
Democrat of Missouri, believes
he is doing his colleagues a favor
in demanding an inquiry into
propaganda on the subject of the
bonus and tax reduction. Sena-
tor Simmons, of North Carolina.
Democratic leader, has commit
ted the minority to the Mellon
tax plan with certain provisions
that the rich shall not be re-
lieved Of taxes" Speaking for
the minority, Senator Simmons
also advocated the enactment of
bonus legislation.

Washington Letter
National Editorial Association.
BY WILLIAM L. DALEY
Especial to Askov American)

Washington, Dec. 26.-After
three weeks of petty pickering
Congress adjourned for the holt
day recess, and, singularly
enough. to observe the Yuletide
spirit of peace on earth and
good will to men," A survey of
the legislative situation shows
that little or nothing was accom-
plished, other than the develop
ment of bitter partisanship.
Leaders of both parties are hope
full that the brief contact with
the folks in the home districts
will show the agitators the folly
of their ways. If constructive
legislation is to be enacted at this
session, it is highly essential that
more attention be given the
peoples business and less to per-
sonal glorifcation of few MEM
bers of Congress.
1t was said here this week that
the insurgents efforts to dictate
to the leaders of both parties was
founded on their desire to make
the railroad and excess-profits
tax matters leading issues before
Congress. The supporters of the
Administration are determined
that Congress shall maintain a
"hands-off" policy in regard to
the railroads. The legislators
elected on local platforms calling
for the repeal of the Esch-Cum-
Minis law are undoubtedly acting
under the belief that they were
especially commissioned for this
purpose. There are others who
are firmly convinced that their
particular section of the country
will be benefited by the restora'
ton of the excess profits tax, and
so they are adopting parliamen
tary methods with this end in
view.

subject vital to all.
Goiter is an enlargement Of
the thyroid gland. The thyroid
body consists of one gland on
each side and just below the
voice box. reddish-brown in
color. The function of this body
is evidently to split up the iodine
that enters the organism. Sew
eral types of goiter are known
but only the so-called simple
goiter concerns us here. 1t is
generally believed that the inn
mediate cause of simple goiter is
a lack of the iodine in the
system.
Although it is only in recent
years that much has been heard
about this subject, yet it has long
been known. We find directions
as to the cure of goiter in an
ancient Hindu book dating back
from 1000 B. C. julius Caesar
mentions the frequent occurrence
of big necks among the Gauls;
the Romans used the term:
cretins. term denoting idiocy
caused by goiter. A Swiss physi-
clan (1493-1541) was the first to
emphasize the relationship be-
tween goiter and cretinism. In
1893 a Frenchman published an
essay on Goiter and Cretinism.
Thus we see that this affliction
is old. More than a century ago
European governments began to
see the economic and sociologic
Importance of the problem. In
1848 the Sandman government
appointed a commission to study
the cause and find relief. In
1864 France created a similar
body which reported ten years
later that 100000 people in
France suffered from goiter and
there were over 10000 cretins
and cretinoid idiots. Switzerland
followed with its commission in
1908.
But where does goiter prevail
Few countries are free from
endemic districts, but there are
localities where the disease II
very prevalent. The most mark
ed districts are southern Europe
especially the Alps Mountain
region, the Himalaya region in
Asia. the Andes region in South
America, particularly the Peru
Wan Plateau. In North America
the endemic region is in the
basin of the Great Lakes, the St
Lawrence basin and the Pacific
northwest. In parts of Europe
the occurrence is very high, in
parts of Zurich as much as 1000,
in Berne so to 500. 1t is esti-
mated that the incidence of the
disease in India is about 200.
How does this compare with
the u. S.? No actual survey had
been conducted till the one made
at Akron, Ohio. Partial and
scattered reports are at hand;
these are only Indicative of the
situation, not conclusive. Clark
