The present situation is a precarious one for the congressmen. In the distance they can see the taxpayers lined up with their clubs ready to give battle if the tax question is ignored; on the other side are the World War veterans demanding a bonus, which if denied may cause a sampede with a solid vote for the other fellow, and between the two fires it is anything but an inviting position to be in. t Judge Kenyon of Iowa could have been secretary of the navy.
