Let me read the provision. the provision which has caused so much -difficulty. Which is as follows: For the purpose of carrying into effect that part of section 13 of the .act of June 29. 1906. which provides: "And in case the clerk of any court collects fees in excess of the -sum of $6.000 In :any one year. the Secretary of Commerce and Labor may allow to such clerk from the money which the "United -States shall receive additional compensation for the employment of additional clerical assistants. but for no other purpose. if In the opinion of the said Secretary the business of such clerk warrants such allowance." $25.00: Provided. That the total compensation for the additional clerical assistants. authorized by that portion of the said section quoted :above to be employed by the clerks of courts. shall in no case exceed onehalf the gross amount of fees collected by such clerks in naturalization cases during the fiscal year. and that the expenditures from this appropriation shall be in the manner and under such regulations as the Secretary of Commerce and Labor .may prescribe. If any more ingenious method of preventing an appropriation from being utilized could have been devised. I know of but one man in this House who is capable of perfecting such a provision.
