Mr. Chairman. I move to strike out the last word. Mr. Chairman. I oppose this bill. in the first place. because even if it should become a law as it passes this House I regard the literacy test provided for in the bill as incorrect in principle and unwise. In the second place. I oppose it because as it will finally pass both Houses it will be very different from what it is now. and I fear not nearly so good. It really makes little difference what the bill contains when it leaves this Chamber. When it arrives at the other end of the Capitol it will be disagreed to. and the bill that finally becomes a law will be written by the conferees of the two Houses.
