But I am perfectly safe in making this statement: That never in the history of the American Congress has there been as much work done in the way of investigation for as little money as has been done during this Congress. Why. think of it. this money investigation. running into all manner of inquiries. necessitated much of expenditure that nobody could have supposed in advance was necessary to be made. Yet this total expenditure is not to exceed $60.000. Do you remember an immigration commission that we had a short time back? Do you remember the work that they did? I am safe in making the statement that this committee has accomplished as much for the American people as did the immigration commission. and it has only cost about onetenth as much.
