It is a very awkward sentence as it is. taken as a whole. but there is no possible escape from the construction that if a person has had a ticket or passage paid for by any corporation. association. society. municipality. or foreign government. either directly or indirectly. it matters not whether he is within the excluded classes or not. he is excluded by the language in this proposed law. Now. what is the effect of that? According to the South Carolina method the passage of the immigrant was paid for directly by an association. because the association furnished the commissioner with the money with which it was done. That may look like a very small matter. It may be said. "Well. let the State furnish the money." In the first place. the States have not the money.
