Chairman. I want to call the attention of the chairman of the committee towhat strikes me as a rather curious situation. If lie will turn to page 2. line 13. ie will find that the head tax is levied ol.r on aliens regularly adinitted. Now. this provision provides that in the case of aliens applying for admission: That in the case of aliens applying for admission from foreign contiguous territory and rejected. the head tax collected shall. upon applIcation. upon a blank which shall be furnished and explained to him. be refunded to the alien. Now. the first part of the section that provides the tax shall not be paid except by the people admitted is right. but this in the last part seems to put in an absolutely unnecessary pr(.vision. which. in my judgment. refunds the money to the people who have not paid.
