President. in order to make the matter perfectly clear. I may perhaps refer to the action of a year ago. When .the commission was organized it was authorized to make a very full and thorough investigation. and the payment of the expenses of the commission was to be made from what was known as the "immigrant fund." A year or more ago the Immigrant fund was abolished. It then became necessary for the expenses of the commission to come under the supervision of the Committees on Appropriations of the two Houses. When this was doneit was just about a year ago this timethe bill as presented by the committee of the House of Representatives contained an appropriation of $300.000 to complete the work of the commission.
