Mr. President. from a hasty reading of the section it would appear that the receipts arising from the head tax on those admitted to this country have heretofore been held as a separate fund. and out of it there has been paid not only the expenses of the administration of the Bureau of Imml. gration. but the expenses of the commission. Under the provision of the bill that fund is covered into the Treasury. and there appears to be an appropriation of a lump sum. to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of Commerce and Labor. which seems to cover all the provisions of the immigration act of 1907.
