But under the provisions of the law they can expend that. $50.000 nominally for the purposes stated In the law. but no itemized account is required. They can call It what they please. Now. it is proposed to double that to $100.000 and to go outside of the original intention of the law. which iWits merely to enforce the contractlabor section of the immigration law and to authorize the appointment for other purposes of employees under the bureau. not from the civil service list. so that the Secretary can pay such compensation as he pleases. can increase. it or decrease it. spend it all on one person if lie wants to. and. render no itemized account of it. I do not think the provision of law ought to be extended unless It be absolutely necessary. No reason has yet been given for the provision in reference to the detail of additional service as provided by the language in this section.
