Chairman. I want to state to the Committee of the Whole that there is no purpose. so far as I am concerned. In opposing the passage of this bill to limit the compensation to be paid to -clerks or to limit the number of clerks employed or of assistants employed for the purpose of administering the naturalization law. but I submit that there is absolutely no necessity for this legislation. in view of the legislation that we have had heretofore upon the subject. I submit further. that when Congress has the past few years endeavored to stop the most vicious practice it has ever adopted. of making permanent appropriations. and especially permanent indefinite appropriations. this is no time for us to add to those that are now upon the 9tatute books. The purpose of this bill is to appropriate certain fees to be expended for a certain service.
