To $10. I will say. in addition. that the commission which had this matter in charge recommended a fee of $11. Congress cut it down to five and then left the matter in such a shape that the State courts refused utterly to touch the question or to secure the blanks. It seemed to the committee that a fee of $10 is entirely reasonable if a man wants to become an American citizen and have the right to take up public lands and in other ways to assert the rights of citizenship. If that amount is demanded the clerks will have proper pay. and. at the same time. the Government will be getting something to repay It for the expense which we are put by reason of the naturalization law.
