If the Senator thinks it wise to strike it all out. beginning at the word "and." in line 1. and leaving us to deal with that question in the bill which I think the Senator from Vermont has reported. I have no objection in the world to it. I am perfectly willing to let the whole thing go and not legisate on an appropriation bill. but my amendment proposes to take no power from the Secretary of the Treasury. it simply provides that the person who shall make the rules under the approval of the secretary of the Treasury shall be the CommissionerGeneral of Immigration. We ought to have some responsible head of that Bureau. If we want to put it in an Assistant Secretary. let us mass it all under an Assistant Secretary and make him responsible. but we have got an arrangement here now wherebynobody is responsible. one man is overruling another. and the service is not good.
