Chairman. if this amendment should be adopted the result is this: The bill imposes upon every passenger tfoat lands on the seaboard $1.50. This is not changed by the amendment. The operation of the law. which is the present law. remains. The provision of new law. which has been offered by the committee. is to impose a tax of $1.50 on every passenger who comes into this country from Mexico and Canada by rail. I think it is an unfair provision to impose that tax -upon every "passenger." and the amendment is that the tax shall be imSon every "immigrant" who comes by rail from Canada or xico.
