Why. if this bill passes. I suppose it can only apply to future immigrants. The bill provides for certain fees. Of course the immigration is so large that they will amount to a hundred times more than will be necessary to pay for the clerk. Consequently the Commissioner would be In duty bound. in order to be able to comply with the taw. to have a clerk. and to keep these things in tabulated form. or. rather. indexed according to names. or even according to the first. second. and third letters of the names. for we have so many hundreds of thousands of immigrants every year that it would be absolutely necessary to tabulate the names and arrange them alphabetically up to the third or fourth letter of the names before they can be referred to readily. Then the Government will have a vast amount of money on hand from this source.
