Mr. President. in order that the question of the price of the ticket may not be considered at all. that the steerage ticket. no matter what it may cost. shall only have a tax imposed upon it of $1. the secondclass ticket a tax of $3. and the firstclass cabin ticket a tax of $5. I offer the following amendment: I move to strike out all of the paragraph after the word "place." on page 41. line 12. beginning with the word " If." down to and including the figures "$5." and to insert "steerage. third class or third cabin. $1. second class or second cabin. $3. 1sst class or first cabin $5."
