Are we. now. by appeals to stand by the Presidentand that is all they have--to be diverted from what our people want and what is right in order that 307 may bow to the will of one man? Mr. Speaker. I want. as briefly as possible. to give an analysis of the most important new legislation in this bill. as I am sure that it will soon become a law. The head tax Is increased from $4 to $8 for admission of aliens. However. we exempt from this tax children under 16 years of age who accompany their father or mother. The present law exacts this tax of all aliens. including even babes In the arms of the mother.
