I agree with the gentleman that it should not be the policy of our Government to make money out of these unfortunate people. and I am of the opinion that this large sun of money that has been collected should have been used to provide better accommodations and take better care of the immigrants. I am also of the opinion that it is not the intention of the House that we should impose a head tax for the purpose of revenue or for financial benefit. and for that reason I am going to ask permission of the chairman of the committee. or ask unanimous consent. to amend the section. and instead of appropriating $50.000 increase It to at least $75.000.
