Some gentlemen who live in the rural districts do not know that it costs from 50 to 100 per cent more to live in the large cities than it does to live in the country. and consequently they must of necessity receive larger compensation if they are expected to live. and not merely to exist. It is not only because I believe that these men are entitled to fair compensation that I think this amendment should prevail. The main reason why I favor this amendment is because if we give the department a sufficient number of inspectors. examiners. and other needed help it will enable them to properly and efficiently enforce the present immigration laws. I am satisfied there would be no possible excuse for the present pending immigration legislation. I maintain that the present immigration laws are stringent enough and if proper inspection were had that no undesirables could possibly come into the United States. It is for that reason I am asking that this LX68 amendment prevail. so that the department shall have a sum large enough to properly enforce the present laws.
