It will be in order to amend it. It will be in order to strike out "five" and insert any other number of dollars. That leaves it absolutely in the power of the majority to determine what the head tax shall be in this bill. It rests. not with the Committee on Rules. but with the majority. to say what the head tax shall be in the years that are to come under the operations of this law. Then. when we come to section 38. it. too. is open to amendment. it. too. is subject to such change and alteration as the majority may see fit to make to it. and is not subject to the dictates of the Committee on Rules. A majority shall determine whether or not that section shall be amended. altered. abridged. amplified. or stricken out altogether. and a majority of this committee sha.ll determine whether or not the illiteracy test shall be ingrafted upon the law relating to immigration. Now. that Is all there is of this question. Mr.
