If the Senator will allow me one ntoment. of course what we desire to encourage Is the immigrant with a family. The idea of the committee was to make the tax as low as it now Is on a man with a family. and to Increase the tax on the man who comes here without a familythe single men. many of whom are of that class which is most prejudicial in many ways. who come here in the spring. work through the summer. and go back in the autumn. and have no Intention of ever becoming American citizens. They come here simply to get the benefit of our opportunities. It was never intended to make the tax fall in such a way as to burden the most desirable imrgrants.
