The Senate simply provided that there should be a charge of $10. There was no provision by which the consular officer was to become the immigration officer. I will say that on a point of ordei in the House. when the gentleman from Texas. I believe. attempted to offer some amendment providing for an increased amount to be paid for passports. it was properly ruled out of order because that was new legislation. The bill went over to the Senate. and there they put in a proviso about the $10. That part was a subject for the conferees when the bill went to conference. but they could not go a step further and repeal the law or add to it a whole lot of new ideas. changes. and thoughts which entered their minds. practically nullifying the immigration law. That was and is exclusively within the domain of the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization.
