We provide here for this passport tax because the Treasury wants money. and this will give us $45.000 additional. and yet at the same time the Committee on Appropriations have recommended an increase of salaaxies in this State Department beyond what were deemed sufficient in the most expensive period of our history. during the late war. I think under the circumstances this Rouse would shrink from the idea of imposing such a tax. I am against making it two or three or five dollars. It will be a tax upon a great body of our naturalized citizens who go abroad. It will be greater than they are compelled to pay for similar certificates in other relations of life. It is disingenuous to impose such a tax after we have increased these salaries.
