Mr. Speaker. the gentleman from Massachusetts. my personal friend. did not do me the honor to pay attention to what I was saying. because I gave him my personal assurance as one of the late conferees that the $4 head tax would not be in the law if it had not been that we knew the Immigration Commission would be expensive. and as one of the men who signed that report I have knowledge as to what I am saying. and I have a right to say it. Therefore. we are better off by $3.300.000. Gentlemen say that this commission has been expensivesix hundred and fifty thousand and odd dollars.
