It is a bill raising revenue to the amount of $200.000.000 with which to pay appropriations that have already been made by the Congress of the United States. and consequently It is an emergency measure. Evidently it is a measure which should be considered now. and which everybody recognizes must be considered and voted upon before the Congress adjourns. On the other hand. the immigration bill. while I favor it. Is not of the urgent nature of a bill raising revenue. We have not immigration of a great amount coming to the United States at the present time. We have not the great number of people who came here two and three years ago. nor are we likely to have until after December. Nay. more. we are not likely to have any considerable number for more than a year. or perhaps two years.
