I had the honor to be chairman of the Committee on Immigration for about two years. It is not an exceedingly laborious committee. yet we reported some bills. we conducted some investigations. and we discharged our duties in a reasonably satisfactory manner. I assume. The clerk of that committee was given the extravagant compensation of about $1.400. I have now been succeeded as chairman by the junior Senator from Massachusetts . but I am still a member of the committee. I am not aware of any necessity for a change in the salary of the clerk. I am not aware of any new duties which have been added to those of the clerk. and I do not understand the discrimination proposed to be made.
